Big yawn and big brother

Elliot got home from Disney World yesterday. It was clear that Ezra had missed him. We heard all about Splash Mountain and new toys, the fireworks and the bears singing. It was a dream come true for a 5 year old Elliot. He was beside himself with happiness, wearing his Lightning McQueen Micky Mouse ears, of course.

Ezra had his weekly checkup this morning. He is up to 6 pounds, 2.5 ounces. He gained 7 ounces in 7 days and is now a full 19 inches. His reflux seems to be just a bit better and he is wanting to eat more and more. He just this week is growing out of some of his premie outfits. He's about 4.5 ounces smaller now than Elsie was at birth...

In more pressing news, Dr. Robert Gordon, Michael's dad, was admitted to the hospital last night for heart related issues. After a cardiac catheterization revealed a major blockage in one of his arteries, he is being moved to a larger hospital in Atlanta. Michael is going with him, and Elsie is staying in Griffin with Aunt Gail, whom she loves. Please pray for Dr. Gordon who will probably undergo surgery and possibly be given a stint today.
