Giovanni's Big Day




Yesterday was Giovanni's big day at the hospital! He had to have a sedated MRI done to see if his pituitary gland was abnormal. Gio previously had a quick brain scan MRI done, which took about 3 minutes and did not require sedation, and it was during this MRI that the doctor thought his pitutary gland looked to be on the small side, and so ordered a sedated MRI to get a better look at it. We left our house around 5:30 am and arrived for his appointment at 7 am. Thankfully they put a numbing cream on his hands and feet prior to putting in the IV. Gio was not a happy camper, and fought the nurses tooth and nail, but we had a great nurse who was able to get the big ol' IV in his little foot on the first try! The MRI took about 45 minutes and then we got to watch our sleeping boy wake up and enjoy a bottle after having fasted for more than 12 hours. He was VERY hungry, and ate almost an entire slice of starbucks banana bread all by himself! 





We got the call from the doctor today, and all the results from the MRI came back normal! Giovanni is as healthy as can be, praise God! Thank you all for your prayers!

Love, The Librande Family

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day to all of our family members who have served our country and/or are currently serving our country! Thank you for all that you do/have done to help better our country and the people that live here. Adam had to work today, but my parents, sister, and brother-in-law had the day off, so Alida and I were able to enjoy some time with them this afternoon. Alida woke up with a bit of a stomach bug this morning, but seems to be feeling better, which we are so thankful for! We hope that everyone had a great day! This picture was taken in early October. We have a great apple tree in our backyard that grows 2 different kinds of apples! Alida found this apple on the ground and thought that she'd give it a try... She definitely enjoyed that apple, so I'd say it was a good pick! Alida learned how to climb up on our kitchen chairs in mid-October. I thought that pushing the chairs in under the table would be able to prevent her from climbing on them when ...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wow! I don't know where to begin with all that has been going on this past week, so I'll let the pictures do the talking... We certainly have been enjoying our extra time with Adam during this Christmas break from school and the extra days that he's gotten to have off of work for the holidays! Here Adam and Alida are playing dress up- below is a video of how the process worked... unfortunately the video is sideways, so you may have to turn your head, or the computer screen...enjoy! The Very Hungry Caterpillar is quickly becoming a favorite of Alida's, this girl definitely loves story time! She didn't want to wear her clothes, but Alida had fun wearing her new apron from grandma! This is the new party dress that Alida got from her Great-Aunt Janell and Uncle John. She wore it to our friend's wedding which took place during Mass on the Feast of the Holy Family! And of course, no outfit is complete without movie star sunglasses! Her...
