Hyper

Can't believe we are leaving in just 8 days and we will be with Gavin in 9 days!
Most of you have been along our journey since we got called Oct 10th, 2009, that special phone call from Ted saying they had a beautiful 4 month old baby boy for us. They told us than that Gavin had a heart condition and that he most likely would need surgery. The month passed with news of emails and phone calls of Gavin not eating well, not gaining weight, not moving a lot because he just didn't have the energy. He spent weeks in the hospital to see if that could help him gain weight, he was loved by all the nurses! It was a hard few months being so far away from him, but we trusted Ted and Bev completely and knew the Lord was in control. They, along with Gavin's surgeon decided that surgery was needed so Nov 14th Gavin had heart surgery to repair the whole in his precious heart. It was hard again being away from him but we kept praying and knew that Jesus was with him, holding his hand when we could not. And I can't tell you how many pictures I have of Gavin with his Mama Bev and Papa Ted at the hospital. He is their baby boy too!
Since surgery, Gavin has been doing wonderful, eating well and gaining weight! And the word that was described this morning by sweet Allisyn Skiles was HYPER! My son was hyper today and I love to hear it, he was jumping up and down, giggling and smiling! It brings us so much joy and I cannot wait to see my hyper baby boy!
Thanks for all your prayers, keep them coming as we will be leaving our sweet Lyndlee next Monday afternoon, she gets to spend special time with grandparents. Tuesday morning we fly out of Springfield, arrive in Taipei Wed night to finally meet our sweet Gavin Pan.
Much love to you all.
