First Week Home

What a great first week we have had at home as a family. Avery has been such an amazing big sister. She constantly helps and makes sure that her brother is okay. Garrett is doing great! He is such a big eater. He probably eats as much now as a 3 week old as Avery ate as a 3 month old.

As you know we had 2 Doctor appointments this week. The first one was with our Pediatrician, Dr. Q. He was very impressed with Garrett and it was great to see him treating Garrett like a normal child. Everyone else has been so careful with him, but Dr. Q was moving his legs all around and measuring him. We also went to see Dr. W, the neurosurgeon. He also was amazed with Garrett's leg strength. He said his back looks great and we can take off all bandages, and that his shunt looks good too. Garrett has a renal ultrasound on Monday to check his kidneys and bladder. His cathing is going great. They wanted his residual to be under 30 ml, and he is averaging 11! Here is a precious picture of how much Avery loves her brother.


We are so proud of Garrett. He is even rolling from his back to his side. This isn't a great picture, but as Shrek would say, "It'll do Donkey".


And a picture of me with the kiddos. I went from beard, to goatee, to clean shaved.

And our Princess. She's eating one of her main food groups.


As always thank you so much for keeping Garrett in your thoughts and prayers.
