Today was a nice calm day. We are hoping that tonight will stay the same. He has slept a lot of today and that is good for his heart. The nurses are telling us that they are doing basically the same thing each day now just to keep him stable. We are for sure on the books for the Cardio Catheter test on Thursday. Once they are done with that test they should be able to come to our room right after and tell us what they have found.
The above picture is one that Garets Great Grandma took the other day while she was here visiting. He was wide awake looking around at everything. He really likes to be awake but the doctors and nurses do not like it quite so much. Matt is going to bring a cd player tomorrow and some of his cds that people have bought for him. He is also going to bring a bunch on his books that we were reading at the house. He really likes it when we read to him. Maybe that will help him to keep him calm and happy when he is awake. That way they will not have to use so much of the sedation medication.
Some of the nurses here seem to think that Garet needs a little girl friend. There is a cute little girl on the other side of our floor that is also a heart patent and I think they said that she is 5 weeks old. They cam in last night and said that they would be to cute together. I am not sure about a girl friend at this age but it should would be nice to keep in contact and have them be good friends and be able to relate to one another as they grow up. As we stay here longer and longer and get to know some of the other parents in here you do start to feel like they are an extended family. The nurses also become a very important part of your life and you look forward to seeing them. You hope that they are going to be the ones taking care of you little one
We do miss all of our family and friends and can not wait till we are back home and able to come and visit with everyone.
