Surgery still on!

So far everything looks good for surgery today!! Not that we are excited about having Gabe's left lung scraped (ouch!) but it is another necessary step in this process and we are ready to move on. We pray that it is successful and we can truly start moving on to those next big steps, like eating and breathing without machines!! How exciting that will be.

On another note, we didn't realize that we had to ask if we had mail. Last night one of the managers at the RMH saw us coming in and waved us down. She handed us a stack of mail, some of which had been there for about 10 days - so sorry we haven't acknowledged those of you who sent us cards and gifts. I'm on it today! It was such a fun surprise to have so many to open and read at once - especially since we got our mail from home last night too with even more cards and well-wishes!

The boys are up here today, so we will likely be taking a ride on the "people mover" soon. We've already ridden on the glass elevators. We'll post more later after surgery.

Just wanted to let you know we're still here thinking about all of you! AJ asks so often when Baby Gabriel gets to come home. Your little man is such an inspiration to everybody. All of my nurse friends are amazed at how well he has done. I know all will go well with surgery! Thanks for the updates,

Love,
Melanie and family

We just got back from camping and wanted to check in on Gabe. It was wonderful to see you both holding Gabriel. It brought tears to my eyes. We will keep praying for continued improvements!
Love,
Maria, Dave, Patrick, and Cathryn
