Here are all the videos we have of Garrett.
11/19/2009 - Garrett had a breathing tube in the first five days of his PICU stay, which meant we couldn't hold him. All we could do during that time was touch him and talk to him as he lay in his bed hooked up to all kinds of medical contraptions.
11/20/2009 - Garrett was still puffy and jaundice the morning after his extubation since his kidneys still weren't functioning very well.
11/21/2009 - This is a video we already posted, but it's one of my favorites as it captures a few smiles.
11/30/2009 - Garrett slept peacefully (as usual) the day before we left Saint Marys.
12/08/2009 - Garrett generally seemed pretty content anywhere -- in our arms, in his chair, having tummy time on the floor watching Jonathan. He seemed to especially like watching Jonathan.
12/09/2009 - Every day, Garrett seemed to spend a little more time awake and alert.
12/11/2009 - Garrett wasn't usually awake so early in the morning, but we were lucky to enjoy a couple of hours visiting with him while we waited before his final procedure. This was the last time we held him before he was sedated.

Chris & Mindi,
ReplyDeleteI finally got a chance to read through your blog. He was an amazing little man, so beautiful. I simply can't imagine where people get the strength of heart to go through what you have in the last months. May God bless all of you as you come to grips with your new 'normal.'
You will need him every step of the way.
