Since Gideon went into the hospital he has up’d his usage time with his vibrating toothbrushes. Which means these days there are never enough batteries.
In fact, every single one of these toothbrushes are dead and we have four batteries left. What can I say? The kid likes what he likes.
I wish I had great news to report about Gideon. The truth is that he is doing good enough to get by for now. We’ve been home a week and he has slept through the night once. His eating and drinking is good enough one day, and not as good the next.
We are emotionally and physically drained. It’s hard for me to post updates because I feel like we take one step forward and two steps back. My husband got up with Gideon (again) this morning at 12:45 am, and this is where I found him at 7 am. Gideon had one hand on his daddy’s beard and the other was clutching a dying toothbrush. It was on all night.
Hence the reason there are never enough batteries.
(The reason we don’t use rechargeable batteries is because Gideon has been known to lose his toothbrushes when we are out and about.)
My heart is heavy for you as you struggle through the days of exhaustion. I appreciate the updates and the privilege to pray for Gideon and each of you. I know you are dealing with a lot and posting may be difficult. I am sure I speak for all of us when I say to do only what you can as your family comes first. However, please know I don’t only enjoy the posts when they are good news but feel I can better direct my prayers when I know the specifics of the rough patches. Regardless, my prayers are endless. This picture touched me and brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing.
If there is a way for you to receive a package i would be happy to send toothbrushes!
God bless!
