Saturday

Garrett has had a busy day with tests all day.  He is receiving regular CT scans throughout the day.  The doctors are carefully monitoring the clot in Garrett's brain as well as the one in his lungs. Garrett is expected to be in the ICU for another 3 days. Though he is off of life support, he currently requires a feeding tube, that he received this afternoon. He has been awake most of the day, his fidgeting with his tubes and cords has been one of the biggest challenges for the nurses. They have fitted Garrett with a mitt, which he has been asking me to take off since I got here. That or for ice chips. Neither of which we are able to do, but elated to have the same conversation every few minutes, anyway!  Garrett continues to remain stable - Which is a great sign!  One of the nurses even commented on what an improvement she had seen in Garrett's strength.

Your prayers and well wishes are being shared with Garrett. He loves to hear familiar names! So keep sending your best! You can post on this site, in the Guest Posts, if you like. Pray for Garrett's comfort, pray for love to release any fear that Garrett may be holding, pray that Garrett accepts himself as the complete, loving, fearless person he deserves to be!
