Things are looking good around here. Gavin's chest x-ray looks better today and nothing has grown on the cultures-which means no infections-yay! Gavin's sodium levels are still on the lower side. The dietitian came in this morning and they are going to add salt to his meals to see if that will help any. Gavin will be on a non-fat diet for at least 6 more weeks from when we leave, so if you have any recipes... send them my way!! Gavin also has to stay away from any leafy green vegetables, the only problem we have with that is that Gavin LOVES salad. But that should be short term too. This is all for medications he is on and to keep fluid from building up on his chest. So all in all things are looking good... here are some pictures from the last few days
You can tell how much happier he is in these pictures... look how skinny he is getting! We need to fatten him up!

He has the whole week off now because he is starting a new job on Monday. He had a drug test today and they had to shave part of his head. It is great though, because we needed a good laugh!

Love Adam's new hair do. Gavin has such a fun bed!
I am so happy Gavin is doing well!
Gavin looks great! I'm so happy to see he is doing so good. He has been in our thoughts and prayers. I just LOVE the picture of him wearing sunglasses. Too cute. And yes, you always need a good laugh during your time in the hospital. I can't wait to read the post that says "We're going home!"
SO glad to see the little guy smiling! I like how he has like a million toys in the bed with him! such a boy!
Love u guys and praying for u

PS Dig Adam's new do :)
What a GREAT picture! There is nothing more encouraging than your child smiling.
I can't believe we are back here. I feel so awful, I read your post saying how happy you were for us when we got home, and how inspiring it was- and here we are back here for the SECOND time. But it sounds like they have a really good head start on preventing fluid from filling in Gavin. He looks great. Jack is on his way to 11 kilo's, so he's pretty skinny too! "Payton" on my blog had to be on a low-fat diet too- you should ask her mom for some tips! Good luck!
So glad things are looking better. He looks much happier today.
So glad to hear that Gavin is doing better. What a relief that must be.
God Bless you all. Roberta
So glad to find your blog....and get updates on Gavin....
Gavin looks so much like Adam in the picture with the sunglasses on. So glad to hear he is feeling a bit better.
