I hope you like the update!
Since Gabrijel was born he's been in an out of the hospital. He's had more surgeries then he has had birthdays. Today he was in to see the doctor about his latest surgery. Because he was born premature he's had a lot of problems with his heart and lungs. He's had three open heart surgeries and five minor surgeries. "Okay buddy, I need to take some blood." "No." He started to cry. "I don't want you too." He held onto Abby as tight as he could. "It's okay, buddy." "No." His face started to turn red as tears streamed down his face. Abby's eyes welled up with tears. She hated to see her son in so much pain. Luka walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She turned her head towards him. "It's alright." Luka said taking Gabrijel in his arms. Luka sat down on the exam table and placed Gabrijel in his lap. He held him while the nurse drew the blood. Luka held him tighter as Gabrijel started to squirm. Luka close his eyes and held him. Live life without this fear. What would I be... Living without him here?
Abby finished packing Gabrijel's bag. She threw some crayons and coloring books in the bag along with some of his movies and his favorite book. She grabbed his little blue dog before leaving the room. Luka and Gabrijel were waiting in the living room for her. Abby handed Gabrijel his dog and he squeeze it close to his chest. "You ready to go, buddy." "Yeah." He said with a frown. "Okay." Luka picked him up and carried him out the door. Abby closed the door as she left. Abby stood next to Gab's bed holding his hand. He cried as he lied there in bed. She was also crying trying to calm him down. "You're going to be alright, sweetie. We'll be waiting for you." "I don't want to go." "Daddy, please." Gabrijel held out his hand towards Luka. Luka walked over to him and grabbed it. "Everything will be fine." He leaned over and kissed his head. The doctor came in to the room along with another nurse. "We're all ready for you." "Okay, Gabrijel I'm going to give you something to make you sleepy." The anesthesiologist said putting the mask over his face.
He’s so tired...and he’s scared. Let him know...that you’re there.

Here's the next part. I hope you enjoy it.
His sobs subsided as the anesthesia kicked in. Abby held onto Luka as she cried into his shirt. "I hate to see him like this." She said looking into his eyes as tears streamed down her face.He wiped them away with the side of his thumb. "Let's go wait in the waiting room." Luka said wrapping his arm around her waist and leading her out of the room. Abby rested her head on Luka's chest as they sat in the waiting room. Luka had his arm wrapped around her. He stared off in the distance thinking.
Can you hear me? Am I getting through tonight? Can you see him? Can you make him feel all right? If you can hear me... Let me take his place somehow. See...he’s not just anyone... He’s my son.
The doctor pulled down his mask as he walked towards Luka and Abby. They stood up when he got close. "Everything went well. Hopefully we won't have to do this for a while." "Can we see him?" "Yeah. They brought him up to the PICU." Abby picked up her bag and she and Luka made their way to the elevator.

Wow. This story is just breaking my heart. Thinking about life with a sick baby is difficult but seeing that baby become a child with one surgery after another???

Here's the newest update!
Gabrijel was still sleeping when Luka and Abby walked into the room. He had his own room and their were murals of animals on the wall. A TV and VCR hung in the corner of the room facing the bed. Abby walked over to the bed and sat down. She pulled his stuffed blue dog from her bag and placed it under his arm. She gently kissed his face. "Gab, can you wake up. It's mommy." She whispered into his ear. "Mommy?" He said turning his head towards her. "Hi, baby." She said giving him a smile. Gab started to cry again. "What's the matter?" She said brushing his hair with her hand. "I want to go home." "I know you do, sweetie, but you have to stay here for a little while." "Daddy, can I go home?" Gab asked looking towards Luka who was sitting on the other side of the bed. Luka shook his head. "You'll be out as soon as you know it." He said giving him a reassuring smile. "But I want to go home now." "How about we watch Bob the Builder?" Abby said pulling the movie out of her bag. "Okay." He said wiping his eyes with his hand. "Okay." Abby got up and placed the movie into the VCR. That night Luka and Abby spent the night with Gabrijel. Luka sat next to Abby holding her hand. "I'm going to get a cup of coffee." Abby said letting go of his hand. "Do you want any?" "Sure." He gave her a smile. "I'll be right back." He leaned over and grabbed his face in her hands and kissed him. "I love you." "I love you too." Luka watched as she walked out of the room. When the door closed he leaned over the side of the bed and began to pray.
Can you hear me? Am I getting through tonight? Can you see him? Can you make him feel all right? If you can hear me... Let me take his place somehow. See...he’s not just anyone.
