Unofficial Word on Extubation

Dr. Arteaga was just in to see how Garrett is doing. She seems about as eager as I am to get that breathing tube out. She consulted with the neuro folks this morning, and after looking at Garrett and seeing how much he's moving around, and that his liver is somewhat smaller than yesterday (although still larger than they'd like it to be) it sounds like we'll be working toward extubation today. It's not a sure thing yet, as she wants to talk to the neuro doctors some more, but hopefully he'll have the tube out soon.

  1. Jonathan slept well and didn't get up until 7:30--just in time to see Zack and Anna off to school and have breakfast with TyTy. We got to watch TyTy get on the bus. We just looked at pictures of baby Garrett and we can't wait to go see Jonathan's "baby bruddder." But first we need a little nap.

  2. What a blessing to see God's answer to our prayers. If Garrett is extubated, does it mean he won't need another angiogram right away? Here's a verse for you; "Peace I leave with you; my own peace I now give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and don't be afraid" (John 14:27). How are you feeling, Mindi? My prayers will continue for all of you.
    Love you,
    Mom
