Well Garrett had an uneventful night. That is EXACTLY what I want him to be -- uneventful. He is still stable and they have continued to wean him down on his drugs and oxygen levels. He has been tolerating it quite well. The more they can wean him down before his repair surgery the better.
Met with Dr. Yang already this morning. Dr. Yang is codirector of the Fetal Care Institute and one of the Pediactric Surgeons here at Cardinall Glennon. He has done remarkable things with CDH babies. He was in Garrett's room when we arrived. He feels Garrett is doing very well at this point. Once again, I will take "very well". Still on the right track for his repair surgery to be at the beginning of next week as long as he remains stable.
The only time he seems to get upset is when he is resting peacefully and they try to move him. He gets pretty mad when his sleep is disrupted.........not sure who he got that from..........;)
Thanks for the updates - we might not be next to you, but know you are surrounded by loved ones who pray for our little fighter! So glad he is on the right path at this point, and hope you are holding up okay, honey. He is so lucky to have you as a mom. Love, Aunt Nancy
