Good Morning Everyone! It is good so far because Gabe is resting peacefully. Yesterday was hard. But we are hoping that he will have a little more energy today now that the feeding tube has been put back in and he is back to normal with how much they are feeding him. He is still coughing up the secretions in his lungs (a painful workout!). The steriods that are to help with the swelling in his throat still have not kicked in, but we are really hopeful that this is the day that things will really start to turn around! The ENT that re-intubated him here at Children's told us that his windpipe was really! traumatized when he was intubated so it is not surprising that it is taking a while for the swelling to go down!

Yesterday, Gabe just seemed so defeated, tired and in pain (tears showed up a couple times for both of us). But I could see him perk up when Aunt Lauren and Sophi stopped by; when we read messages to him from his buddy Declan and everyone who has posted messages; and when he heard his sister on the phone the other night! So please keep sending your love, prayers, messages and healing wishes his way. It all seems to really strengthen him. Pete and I cannot find the right words to express how utterly blessed and amazed we feel to have all of your care and concern. People we don't even know are praying and blessing Gabe from afar - it is beautiful how connected we all really are!

Grammy and Papa (my folks) are flying in today! Yea! We will all be reinvigorated! I will be posting new positive updates later today! Thanks for following!
