Day 36: The Mobile

Garrett’s occupational therapist recommended a mobile for him.  So I got him one and he is fascinated by it.  Grant had one and had no interest in it really.  Garrett is still eating well.  Some feedings he does gets full before he has taken all of his “66 mls” so we just put whatever he didn’t finish down his tube.  He is continuing to keep all his feedings down, gotta love that!  Besides his feedings (which is what has obviously been our focus here lately) we have been weaning his morphine and monitoring his withdraw symptoms.  He is also scheduled to undergo an echocardiogram tomorrow to check on his heart and his pulmonary hypertension.

  1. Janna -He is so bright eyed and beautiful! Just like his mommy! I am thrilled to hear that he continues to eat well and that he loves his mobile. Getting stronger every day as he continues to teach ALL of us the true meaning of "A Miracle". Keeping up the prayers for good results tomorrow!
    Love - Karen Paul and Jacob

  3. These are great pictures. I can see his face. I will come with Nancy to visit Garrett whenever he is up to having out of town guests. We may have to wait until Lisa returns from New Orleans

  5. OH, he's such a doll. Congrats on the removal of tubes. Won't he love being "free" from all of that stuff?! Go, Garrett, Go!!!

  6. Janna,

    You and Paul should be so proud. He is so adorable here :) I'm glad that he had his mama to fight for him these last long weeks. We are all sending our love!

    Love,
