All under one roof

Here is a picture of Griffin at home with all of his siblings. Griffin has been home with his brothers and sisters and everyone is adjusting. Isn't that what everyone has to do? Adjust. Let me give you an example. Griffin is now in his parent's room where his older brother Everest use to reside. Everest now stays with his other brother Hudson and sister, Kailey. On top of Everest's bed is a mound of stuffed animals and bears. Everest likes to nestle into the pile of plush toys when he goes to sleep at night. The plush toys keep Everest feeling safe and secure. Everest is adjusting. Here is another example. Kailey and Hudson are continuing their weekly schedule as planned. What use to be the three younger kids is now only the two. They are adjusting as well. Here is yet another example. Griffin has been experiencing loose stools (bowel movements), to the point that one night he had 7 episodes of the dreaded 'D' (diarrhea). Gretchen brought Griffin to the day hospital/ clinic where he received intravenous fluids. The doctors checked out Griffin's blood work and sent him home the same day. Griffin's body is adjusting to the medications. Gretchen and Jon are continuing to keep the family under one roof and attending to all of the kids different needs. Gretchen and Jon are adjusting. The picture of the family was done this past Sunday. Griffin and the family are standing in front of a poster board that was put together by a majority of triplet moms and their families that live in the Edison Park neighborhood. Gretchen and Jon thank everyone for their show of support and love. Continue to pray for Griffin and his family. Pray for their continuing strength and endurance with all the changes that happen everyday.
