Rollin' rollin' rollin'!


Hello all,I thought I'd send you all a short update on us down here. As you can see, Gabriel has improved his co-ordination skills to the point that he likes to imitate us. He saw Dan drinking from his cup and wanted to try it too, so we got him a cup to practice on. We decided not to put anything in it yet. He's also gotten to the point where he can easily roll onto his belly, sometimes roll onto his back, and scoot along on his belly. The problem remains that he scoots backwards, which frustrates him as his toys get further away. He enjoys making new noises with his mouth. His latest is inhaling. It made us think he was having trouble breathing at first.
Dan hasn't had any problems with his heart/chest since the hospitalization. We had a follow-up with our PCP and he was unable to find any problems. Work has gotten brutal, however, as he's had to go in early and stay late almost every day this past week. We're hoping things settle down sometime soon. As for me, I'm still the same. Tired more often than not, but doing well over all. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Lots of love,- Karen
