Today we thought was going to be a quiet day, but we have had quite a few different people in and out all day long. First thing this morning they came in and did his daily chest x-rays. Then just a little bit ago they came in and did a E K G and then they did an Eco or ultra sounds of his heart. We thought we were going to be going in and doing a cardio catheter tomorrow were they insert a catheter and go into the heard to check it out that way. But now they have decided that the are going to do a chest MRI first thing in the morning. It does sound like we should start to get some sort of answers here in the next couple days. They still may not be able to tell us why this happened but they will be able to start telling us what we are going to have to do to fix it. That is the most important thing to us right now.
Here is a picture of most of his Iv's they have running to him. Now keep in mind they are not all running at the same time. I feel like when we are all done here we will be able to be a nurse if needed. You learn so much in such a sort time.
They did give him a little sponge bath today and replaced a lot of the wires and things like that running to him. He loves his baths so he was happy when they took some of the wires off of him and he could move around a little bit more that he had been able to. Even though we have only been here about a week he is starting to look so much bigger. I know when they are first born they grow quickly but when you can not hold them they seem to grow even faster. Well he is taking a little nap right now so I am going to try to catch a little map myself. Thank you to everyone that has been sending there prayers our way they really seem to be working. 
My number is 913-515-1152 if you feel like you need anything. Jess can also help answer any big or small questions that you might have. She works with kiddos like Garet. You are in our prayers and we are adding him to our church's prayer list as well.
