Garrett has officially been taken to surgery. I waited to post until it was 'official' since the decision to operated has fluctuated so much. He had a good morning and they were able to wean him off all the necessary meds this morning. He went in for surgery around 1:30. It will be at least 2 to 3 hours. They are hoping to do the surgery with all small incisions. So now we wait.........
Garrett's Room in the NICU. I guess when you get close to being here a week they make a sign. ;)
Meeting of the minds. Docs making rounds in the morning discussing Garrett's treatment plan for the day. The pic is lousey because you only see a few people of the 'team' that visits our room daily.
Sleepy baby before surgery.
The operating team arrives to take Garrett to surgery.
Below they have disconnected his ventilator and have to bag him up to the OR. A little nerve wracking for his mother.
And off they go to sugery. I hope they take good care of my baby.........
Will be praying for God to guide the hands of the surgeons, for wisdom and discernment. I pray that Garrett does great through surgery and just keep getting stronger - every minute, every hour, every day. May God give you comfort and peace.

ReplyDeleteToday was a crazy day at school and I told a couple of my students what was going on, because they saw me studiously refreshing the blog during my break... A whole bunch of them came up to me and told me that they were praying for the fiesty little guy. We are all thinking of you!!
ReplyDeleteJanna, I have been praying all day and even more now that he's in OR. I have been praying for Garrett to keep his fighting spirit, for you and Paul to have peace and comfort, for Grant to have patience with everything that's going on, and for the doctors and nurses to do their absolute best for this precious baby. He is in fantastic hands.
ReplyDeleteI love the close up pics. He is gorgeous!
