Gabriel, Demi & Mom make Crain's New York Business

This Article on Children's Hospitals came out in August (Yes it took me a while to get it scanned and updated) and it featured the Kostaridis Family (minus Dad) and Dr. Stolar, who performed Gabriel's hernia repair.

Gabriel Athan Comes Home

Gabriel Athan was discharged from the hospital on Friday April 4th, 2008 at 10:30am. He spent his first night at home sleeping in Mommy & Daddy's bedside. Although it was quite uneventful for him...Mom & Dad barely got any sleep. Thankfully Demi slept the whole night, she woke up at 7:00am asking to see Baby Gabriel. He is currently feeding every 3hours approximately 2ounces (65ccs.) That's 8 times a day!!! Four or five times a day we try to give him a bottle but he only manages to get half way through (30-40 ccs) before he gets tired. The rest of his feedings are done with a nose tube (NG-tube)

We are blessed to have him home with us so much earlier than initially expected and at such a healthy state. We would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at NYC Columbia-Presbyterian Children's Hospital for the care and support they provided to our family.
