Garrett's feeding tube came out today also. Dr. Yang stopped by the room and told them to remove it, so out it came. Not a bad thing considering Garrett removed it twice by himself in the past 24 hours or so. He was OBVIOUSLY ready to see it go. He will now eat everything by mouth. Oxygen cannulas are the only thing left on my baby's face. :)
We are now down to a 'short' list of what Garrett is on. This list ain't got nothin on where we started! There is my Southern IL lingo for ya --
- Oxygen - Nasal Cannulas (will continue to wean)
- Morphine (will continue to wean)
- Pepcid (will continue at home)
- Daily Vitamin (will continue at home)
Let's not forget:
- SMALL lungs - hopefully will continue to develop more lung tissue over TIME
- Slightly mis-shaped heart - still seems to work normally
He is doing so amazing I am so happy for your family!
