Feelin' the LOVE

Yesterday, was an eventful day. We watched some baseball, played dominoes, walked around the nurses station, read a chapter book (thought that would get some brownie points with Mrs. B ;-)) and even made a few trips to the end zone. The end zone is a fun area where kids can play games, color, stuff a build-a-bear, etc. We could only go for 30 minutes at a time. Gavin is hooked up to a telemetry box that is being watched by medical staff. It shows what his heart is doing at all times. They can't get the information they need while in the end zone so we had to make the trips short. Gavin made the most of it and played lots of pinball monopoly and a fishing game with his Nana. Yesterday afternoon, Grandpa hooked Gavin up with an ice cream sandwich and played some dominoes with him. My parents dear friends, The Johnson's, happened to be here this week so Dr. Mitch joined in on all the guy fun! 

Gavin received the best surprise that literally had him smiling from ear to ear the rest of the night. Mr. P our awesome principal came up to visit Gavin. He brought him some sweet LCS gear and a real football helmet signed by all of the Varsity football players and coaches. Mr. Pepin prayed over Gavin before he left, we're so blessed!

 

Gavin received videos from his classmates. The girls did a Gavin cheer, the entire class sent a video message and the boys huddled up for a Gavin chant. It was the sweetest thing ever! 

Last night our sweet OKC friends, the Houstons and the Coopers brought us Gavins favorite pizza! He chowed down! 

Thank you all again for the food! And thank you Weedens for letting all our family stay at your house! You're always so willing to step in and help us! 

Gavin missed his first football practice as a "coach." He was slightly happy because it got cancelled due to lightning. He takes his job so seriously that he hated to miss it! The entire team got together in the field house to take the sweetest group picture. They held cards that said "We love you Gavin, you are Bulldog strong." If you follow me on FB, check it out. Didn't want to post it to the world without permission from all the parents. We're surrounded with some incredible, God loving families you will ever meet. I never take for granted that we get to be a part of such a fantastic school community. 

Before bed we got to skype this precious boy. He was getting teary eyed and missing us so we tried to make it fun. We "played legoes" and did some upside down talking. Ha! 

We love our little guy, he always knows how to put a smile on our face!

Gavin is still sleeping, we got him gowned up and they started running fluids around midnight. The doctor came in and said we will get started soon and it should be fairly quick procedure. Just want to get lots of pictures of his heart. They'll go through his groin again so Gavin will have to lay flat for several hours afterwards. We will update as soon as we can! Thank you again for all the LOVE, we feel it!
