March 25, 2004

Got my soul washed last Sunday. Check out the family pic on my photo page. I'm the one looking somewhat disinterested.

March 20,2004

Had another plumbing issue which they had to straighten out. Looks I'm OK now. Tomorrow I get christened. I'm looking forward to the Holy bath, especially after you see my latest pix. Check them out.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I had some trouble with a downspout and need a rotorooter job. Anyway things are draining nicely now, and I promised not to cause my parents any more trouble (NOT). At least not until the terrible twos. Check out my latest pics. I'm cute as ever (if i say so myself).

Well I'm finally off of the O2!  Yes as my Uncle Jeff says, I'm Cordless!! (such a wiseguy). Got some new pics so check them out. Merry Christmas everybody!!

Hey check out the new pic's! including me on Thanksgiving! No turkey for me yet, it gives me gas.  Sorry for the delay, I had to kick my webguy's butt into gear!. Sheesh the help you get these days.

Hello I'm home! Where are the flowers? I snuck out a day early, something about a 250 year old bell with a crack. This 5 month old with a crack escaped before the move. My room is very nice, it should be Mom and Dad had plenty of time to work on it!

Whoa! Nobody told me we had a dog!  Down fido! Watch that cold nose. There will be plenty of dumpster diving for diapers for you later.

Boy am I glad to be home. Thanks to everyone for all of your prayers, I needed every last one of them.

One last question. Do the Eagles play this weekend?

October 7, 2003

Two days to the homecoming and boy am I ready. Check out my new pics. I am a hefty (oink) 8.1 pounds (oink, oink). I think I'm going to need a bigger feeding tube (oink) attached to a 55 gal drum (piggy). See you in a few. Remember to call ahead, Mom has not been wearing makeup lately since she took time off to be with me and I hear the house is a mess with Dad's beer cans.

GOOD NEWS! I'm blowin' this pop stand next week!!!  Doc says I can escape 10/9 if I'm real good until then. Still got to eat and breathe through this straw. (I wonder if I can get beer through this, I'm sure Dad will figure something out.)

Folks please no rushing the young lass. There will be plenty of time for autographs. Its Flu season you know so keep your snotty faced heap of nose pickin', upchucking, vermin carrying, runts off of my doorstep, till I can reduce the number of pie holes in my face to the one I was born with.

(In other words, Please call ahead for seating)

Well the Doc went in today. Looks like I might be one headlamp down. There is still hope for the other one so keep everything crossed. If all stays OK they're going to let me out of this coop in a couple. Stay tuned.  ;)  the Gabster

Just got the word one of my headlights is out of alignment so the eye doctor's gotta go back in. Keep watching this space.  Gabbs

Gabby in her new room. She is still at Jefferson Hospital, she has had two eye surgeries (one on each eye). The eye doctor will look at her again next week, if her eyes are ok for now then she will go back to Cooper.

She is only on the nasal canual for breathing which is excellent. She can come home on that.

The Great news is that she is no longer in the NICU, she is now on the pediatric recovery floor, she is in a regular hospital room. Its cool, we can hold her and change her and do what we want. She is on a couple monitors but nothing major.

They are starting to bottle feed her, twice a day to start. She has to learn how to suck, swollow, and breath. Premies forget to breath. She is up to 56ccs of milk every three hours (thats almost 2 ounces). What she can not bottle feed is given to her through the feeding tube that she has had.

We thank all of you for all of your support and prayers. We could never have come this far without our family & friends.

Love to all, Chris, Joe & Gabby Girl
