I have been looking at the halachot for a son who is the gabbai and who calls his father up for an aliyah here and I know that there was a question about it, but my question is about after the aliyah. When making the מי שבירך afterwards, one often includes the name of relatives. How does the gabbai refer to himself if the father wishes to give a bracha to his children? The gabbai adds in something like "avi umori" out of respect, so he probably doesn't need to add "achi" if his brother and family get the מי שבירך but does he refer to himself and his children in the third person?

I have seen gabbais mentioniong themselves on occasion, and in my experience, usually they just say "oti, vishti, etc." – Daniel Jul 30 '12 at 1:58
Like @Daniel, I've generally heard "v'osi" (except by one gabay whose command of Hebrew was, apparently poor, who said "v'es osi"). – msh210♦ Jul 30 '12 at 3:33
