Busy Day

Today we talked to our specialists, social work, and care management about discharge planning: how can we all get home for quality family time with Gabriel. We also decided to celebrate his life, and focus on living well for all of us. Sunshine, music, outdoors. Eleanor went with grandma to the Meijer Garden again.

Gabriel had a one-hour sprint off the mask. A volunteer photographer visited and took beautiful photos of Gabriel with mama and dada; Gabriel had open eyes and seemed to enjoy it. He made a few gurgles that may have been coos.

After this, we had a family time and sang "Circle of the Sun" and he watched with wide eyes. A music therapist also visited and recorded his and our heartbeats; she will use his heartbeat as the rhythm and play a song of our choosing over it. How special!
