5 Months a Sloan

Yesterday marked 5 months since Gabe became a Sloan, and he is doing amazingly well! Thank you all for the prayers. I think we are finally turning a corner, we have more good days than bad days at this point, Praise the Lord! In the last few weeks we've been able have visits with family, run a few errands, and he's even been waking up happy. These things may seem small but they are big victories to us. He has come a long way in 5 months and I pray it keeps getting better and better.

Insurance update: It looks like Gabe will be getting insurance eventually. The phone hearing did go in our favor but it still might be a while until he's actually covered. The good news is that his coverage will go back to our original application date.

On July 31st, Bethel (the foster home where Gabe lived) held a Bethel families reunion in Nashville! We were so excited about it since we live so close. Well, we ended up missing it because the timing wasn't working out with Gabe's nap time, we were super bummed but luckily we still got to spend an evening with Anna and Tabitha who work at and for Bethel. We are so thankful for all they do and for the wonderful love and care Gabe received at Bethel. What a blessing!

About the photos: Gabe loves to lay on the floor vent when the air is on, cracks me up! Our goldendoodle does the same thing. I'm hoping it starts to cool off so we can enjoy being outside. Whenever Gabe hears a door open he tries to walk in that direction so I know he wants to go outside but when we do go out he's a little whiny, unless he's in the baby pool and I don't blame him because its so hot! Our other kids adore Gabe! Caleb has started to hug him all the time so that he will learn to like hugs... it's totally working! The last photo is  hilarious, that little crooked smile he does. Oh, and he has mastered the little slide. He hated it at first, but now he can climb up and down the steps, slide down, and even climb up the slide from the bottom, just like all kids do. ;)










Thanks for following our amazing little journey. We love you guys!
