I was talking with my mom last night about some of the stuff Gavin has been through. She suggested that I add it all up. Here is what I came up with:
Number of years/months alive: 2.5 years/31 Months
Number of nights spent in the hospital: 8
Number of Diagnosis: 4 (Hemangioma, Vascular Lesion, Mixed Malformation, Klippel-Trenaunay)
Number of Areas of Concern (Past/Present): 3 (Sacral Dimple, Vascular Lesion, Throat)
Number of times admitted to the hospital: 4 (If you count that fact that he was sent home and then readmitted)
Number of Rooms stayed in at Hospital: 5 (There was a lot of moving around during the first visit!)
Number of ER Visits: 4
Number of times on steroids: 5
Number of Doctors Seen/Referred To: 6 (Plus all doctors in Vascular Lesion Clinic)
Number of Trips to Riley: 8 (Plus one local visit through televideo)
Number of Surgeries: 2 (MRI, throat)
Number of other Procedures: 4 (x-rays, ultrasounds)
Number of Therapy Types: 2 (Physical, Developmental)
Number of Service Coordinators in First Steps: 4 (Just thought that was funny)
Number of Sleepless Nights for Mom and Dad: Countless!

Praying that things will get better for sweet Gavin. So glad to know that he will outgrow these episodes!!! Praying for him...
Remember to look at the blessings to get you through this. Praise God he doesn't have anything life threatening!! For that we can definitely be thankful. Life is full of bumps in the road, hold tight to your faith and know that God doesn't give us more than we can handle and even better he will carry us through the hard times, he never fails!
