Quick Update

As many of you know Gavin came home a week ago Friday. Rick took last week off to stay home with them. He has truly became a great dad, he loves to take care of them. We went to Scotish Rite last Thursday so that they could look mostly at Gavin's leg but both of them had appointments as a follow up to their hospital stay. The orthopedic doctor feels that Gavin's leg will heal pretty close to normal, because babies always surprise them on how naturally they can heal themselves. We will follow up with them when he starts walking so that they can see if there is anything that they will need to do, or if he is adjusting/healing normally and nothing needs to be done. What a great facility, everyone there was very nice and it is like going to a great big kids play ground.
Last week we also had a pediatric appointment, they sent us to the hospital to have Gavin tested for acid reflux. Turns out he does have it and now he is taking Precid to help with his after eating grumpiness.
All in all both of them are doing great, they are now around 6 pounds, we will have official weight when we visit the pediatrician next Wednesday. They are getting very close to sleeping through the night, so,we will move them to their room hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
The only thing to do now it find someone to help,out during the day while I work, we have our first interview today, so we will see how it goes and hopefully we will have a better idea of what we are looking for. This would be a live in situation so we will just have to see if it is a good fit for everyone. Wish us luck, and again thanks for the continued prayers. Two weeks of the six months before we can petition to adopt them :)
