Poor thing is apt to lose it with all the new and unfamiliar sights, sounds and sensations.<br /><br />I wonder if there's a way to medicate him for the travel home? I'm not a big proponent of medicating kids, but it seems like this would be more than appropriate. I know I'd pick sedation drugs or anti-anxiety meds over terror any day.<br /><br />I will pray for you -- it looks like you're definitely going to need all the help you can get. It's so sad to see how profoundly damaged and traumatized he is.<br />Best,<br />Ellie C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942678991338236977.post-27346426412306972412011-06-11T03:36:09.460-07:002011-06-11T03:36:09.460-07:00"I will not leave you comfortless, I will com..."I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you."

I am so sorry you are scared, but you are about to experience the total love of mom and dad! <br /><br />*** On a postive note, my Yana, who we adopted at age 7 1/2 years still is bottle fed. She is a mess with it, a lot of the food comes out. Her suck and swallow are poor. Your little guy actually looks very promising on his ability to eat! She's been home almost a year, and no progress yet on anything other than her bottle!~ :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00780602398588917246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942678991338236977.post-26255539191132137142011-06-06T06:18:46.373-07:002011-06-06T06:18:46.373-07:00My heart is in a million pieces.

Bless him and his self stimulating, you can just see his need to slow down and relax and he doesn't have the skills to handle things. I cannot wait for you to get that sweet boy home. I look forward to the change that I know God wants to make in him through HIS family. You and he will make great strides I just know it. Many blessings to ALL of you!

The only thing I can say to encourage you is that at least you don't have to leave the country and come back, right?? (I mean, I think that's the case, right?) There are many adoptive families who have to leave for several months. God is answering our prayers about him finding his peace in you -- and sometimes I just think that when Levi and Gabe get together -- along with those two cuties at home -- combined with the gentle love of mom, dad, and big sis -- miracles are gonna happen for Gabe!!!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696338978798243909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942678991338236977.post-66507334045597516452011-06-04T16:48:13.560-07:002011-06-04T16:48:13.560-07:00Praying so very hard for your sweet Gabe!
