Tuesday

Not too many changes in Garrett's health on Tuesday. The doctors weren't seeing a change in the swelling in Garrett's brain  (so, good & bad). They decided to wean Garrett off the hypertonic saline solution, due to this lack of change. Garrett's heart rate is high, as the doctors are working to regulate his BP. Garrett had some speech therapy and physical therapy. He did seem a little down after physical therapy. This could be exhaustion but it seemed as if he was seeing his own limitations for the first time. By Tuesday night, the only thing Garrett was hooked up to was a standard oxygen line to his nose! The nurse did add a saline drip later, but that was it! No strings attached!
