Yesterday was Garets 2 month birthday. He had a really good day. He ate the most in one day than he has so far and I think he slept the most since he got off all the meds. It looks like they are going to try to transfer us to the 4th floor. That is the normal pediatric unit. They have some beds that are called step down beds. IMC bed (Inter medial Care Unit) They say that he is doing well but not well enough to go home yet. A couple of our favorite nurses found out they were trying to transfer us and they said that they think we should just stay on this floor until we can go home. I tend to agree with them. We have got to know so many of the nurses and some of the other patients on this floor that we would much rather stay here till we get to go home. If we get moved to the 4th floor we will have to get used to a entire new group of people. I am sure they are just as nice but we like it on the 10th floor.
Yesterday we were trying to find one of the hospital wagons so that Garet could go for a ride around the 10th floor but we could not find one up here. Today I am on a mission to find a wagon. We may have to get one from another floor and get it all sanitized before we can use it but that is our goal for today. I thought it would be nice for Garet to take a ride on his 2 month birthday but it will have to do being 2 months and 1 day.
They have not done any more EKG's in the past couple of days and they have also not done any x-rays of his chest. I guess that is good. They feel that he is doing well enough that they do not have to have that every day check. So overall things are going really well. Garet is doing so well and is working on getting himself better. We still have a long while before we can say that he will not have to have a heart transplant but we are moving in the right direction. Thank you so much for all the thoughts and prayers. As you can tell the power of God is so strong. A bible verse that comes to mind is. Were 2 or more are gathered in my name I am there. We have so many people that are coming together to pray for Garet that we know he can hear our prayers. Thank you again. It means so much to us that so many people are following Garets story. We are working on the happy ending.

About Me
- Garet Howard
- When Garet was born on April 1st 2009 we thought we had a perfectly healthy little one. When he turned 6 weeks old his heart decided it not work properly. The left side on his heart was very enlarged from trying to pump the blood threw my body. The left side of his heart was only pumping at about 10% instead of 70%. After a month in the PICU Garet was able to come home and has been on an array of medications ever since and will mostly be on them for the rest of his life. He is now doing well and has hit the 1 year mark. We pray that he continues to inprove. We know God has only given us what we can handle and are very happy to have Garet in our lives.
