Home sweet home
Gabrielle is home once again and doing great! Her respiratory rate has slowed tremendously thanks to the lasix and the breathing treatments. The docs all concluded that she had a virus of some kind and is definitely recovering. We have a follow up appt with Dr. Rao in Milwaukke next week and our pediatrician tomorrow. We also had the home nurse over yesterday afternoon and she said that Gabi sounded good and looked nice and pink. She unfortunately came home on O2 but it should be only for a week or so. She hates that nasal cannula and continues to pull it off her face. The docs said when she is sleeping is the most important time to have the O2 on.
She is once again smiling and trying her hardest to babble. Ethan took this video of her when she got home.
We had our friends, the Buchmann’s (Carsyn’s parents) over yesterday and it was great to visit with them. They are continuing to plan for the auction on March 6th. If anyone has anything to donate for the benefit, let me know. All proceeds go to the cardiac floor at CHW. The plans for the funds include: a Wii for the older cardiac kids in the playroom for theraputic use, additional bouncy seats and swings that were made in this decade, lots of toys that PT and OT need, and the majority of the funds will go towards building the garden outside the cafe at CHW. I am so excited for this event. If you want to attend, please let me know, there are plenty of seats available. Thanks to Anne R and Rachel for their donations!
Thanks for checking in. Love to you all.

Great video, and so glad to hear she is back home!
Love, love, love the video! So happy she is home:)
She looks and sounds great!! Can you email me for information of the silent auction? I was wondering if I could donate a Wii or maybe put it up for auction what evers works best or donate some bouncy seats? My email is bsiu96@sbcglobal.net. let me know what the best option would be and if donating money would be easier I can do that to. Glad Gabi is HOME!!!!!!
I wanted to thank you so much for the delicious soup and chocolates! It was so thoughtful of you and came at the perfect time! I was pleasantly surprised when I came back to her room.
I’m glad Gabi is doing well; she looks great in the video! We think of her and you a lot and we hope things continue to go well!
The warmth I felt in my heart watching that adorable and most precious video is priceless. I hope to meet Gabi and all of you someday soon.
She is such a gift!! What a treasure!
I hope they raise a lot of money in Carsyn’s memory.
Heart Hugs,

I am so glad to hear that she is home again! Now you tell her that I said she can’t go back until the next step!! I love you all and think of you often! God bless….
Holy Cow! I have been “out to lunch” with checking in on little Gabi. Sorry I missed out on the events of the last week with a virus and rapid breathing and what-not. Darn, anytime our kids our sick we are forced into overdrive – I think our brains take us places we don’t want to go. Glad to read she is doing better. I’m working hard on a plan for me to come down in March for the event.

She is sooo cute and her scar looks great for having 2 surgeries!! It’s amazing how well it starts to blend in after a few months. Emmett’s is not too noticeable anymore (to us anyway). Glad things are going well. I continue to follow Gabi’s progress and keep you guys in my prayers.
