Everyday since Gavin was a twenty week fetus we have waited each day to see if he would be alive the next day. We never planned ahead, we never let our imagination run wild with the future. I now can see a little boy with a life ahead of him…I can finally start to let my imagination go.
We have just experienced a miracle, one without explanation – and one not only medicine can explain…we have been profoundly touched and overwhelmed and in complete awe.
I will have to update you more when I am feeling better. There is so much to this story. Between my parents and their childlife program here at the hospital, Lulu really viewed transplant more as a vacation than a traumatic event, and she is actually skipping out of the hospital at days end.
I continue to get better and stronger and am weaning myself off the pain meds quickly since they make me very nauseous and a little loopy.
The best news of all is that Gavin will be coming home today with us. It will be a time of new cares and new adjustments, but he is doing just famously…we couldn’t be prouder of our little man!
May the snow flurries melt before they hit your driveway!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!
That is so wonderful you guys are done with dialysis and discharged from the hospital.
It will be hard at first, but you will adjust to this new Gavin with new-found energy and soon probably an appetite!
Dear Jill,
We could not be happier for you. Have been following your story for the last four months and prayed every day for the little Gavin.
