My heart breaks for your family, but I will continue to pray. I forget how I originally found your blog, but I am here often and have appreciated your transparency about Gavin's illness and your family.

I cannot find words right now, so I will just say I will continue to lift you up to our Father.

I admit, I was also hoping for a different post. No words, just hugs and prayers. I wish I had more. I'm sure everyone does.

I too, like your friend Kate,am at a loss for words but I am not void of prayers for you and Adam.For Madison and for the tiny but oh so mighty, fighter Gavin.Karen, I cannot remember when it was that you left a comment for me and I in turn went to you,certainly well over a year ago but I have been drawn back,almost daily ever since.And one thing that was so apparent from the get go,was what an incredible mommy were and are.What a strong marriage you had built and what amazing faith you lead your life with.Even and most especially in difficult and dark times.My love comes to you from across the miles and I send you peace and strength for the journey ahead.

Praying for Gavin and hoping you guys can make it home after the line is placed. Karen, I honestly don't know what to say. My heart breaks for you. As you face tomorrow knowing its the last time he will have to endure the procedure and also knowing its his last line I can only cry those bittersweet tears for you. I am so sorry your sweet boy is going through so much. I am so sorry for sweet Madison and the weight her tiny heart carries. I am so sorry for you and for Adam. My prayer is that you have time. More and more and more and more time with your son to make as many beautiful memories as your heart can hold. Still praying, Trish Adams

There truly are no words. Hopefully you are able to find a good way to keep ahead of Gavin's pain and the line placement goes well so that he can get out of the hospital and you can spend some time as a family. Thinking of you, with admiration for your grace in this impossible situation.

everybody is right. there are no words. there are no words that anyone could speak to you that would take your pain away. what you are going through is beyond words, anyway. i do know, though, that we serve a Mighty God and His Holy Spirit is balm to our souls. press into Him, mama, He's the only One who can help you right now. just know that there are people whose prayers are storming the gates of heaven for your precious little boy and your entire family.

Dear Heavenly Father, Please lay your healing hands on precious Gavin. Keep him comforted, Lord, and take away his pain. Continue to give strength to Karen and Adam as they care for Gavin. Bless and comfort little Madison as she loves her baby brother. Praying, Lord, for a miracle for precious Gavin. Peace be with the Owens family.
In Christ' Name. Amen

I wish I knew what to say, something that was comforting & helpful. Since I don't and I can't, I'll just tell you that I'm praying for you and Adam, for the solid knowledge that whatever you do is the right thing for Gavin and your family. I'm praying for Madison, for strength & peace. And I'm praying for Gavin, for peace, comfort and miraculous healing.

God be with you.

We are still praying for you all. Thank you for continuing to update. We wonder constantly how Gavin and you all are doing.
A note on his Fent Patch. Make sure they put a new one on before the old one wears off so you don't go through a 12 hour window of not enough meds on board. The patch usually lasts a few days. They could put a new one on about 10-12 hours before they expect to remove the old one.
Stay strong. You are all very strong.
Love, The Saballos Family CT

I know there are no words that can make this better. I've been sitting here trying to come up with something great...something wise...something to make all of this seem better. But words from someone that isn't in your shoes are just that. Words. Truth is, there are no words for what all of you are going through. But there is love - lots of it - and it's coming your way. You are all in my thoughts - constantly. You are wonderful parents. You are an incredible Mommy. Madison is a strong little girl. And Gavin - well he is the original Superhero. You're doing the right thing. You're a wonderful Mommy, Karen.
Much love,
kate.
