And he grows...


Well, today Gavin was weighed at 7 pounds, 8 and 1/2 ounces. The boy knows how to eat! So that's what we do all day. Eat, burp, clean up vomit and spit, and then eat some more, vomit more, then finally settle in to sleep. Gavin was diagnosed with GER-Gastro-esophageal-reflux. Basically his sphincter doesn't keep the food in. I get to give him medicine daily; hopefully he will get better soon. His projectile vomit has gone as far as 2 feet. That's a long way for this little guy! We continue to learn and have fun. My incision has finally sealed completely so I can do more without getting tired. What a blessing! Aunt Becca in Utah sent him some toys and a mobile that he loves to stare at. It's fun to watch him just wide-eyed, taking in the world.
