Garet and one of his puppies

Garet and Ginger are buddies. Last night we decided to get a picture of Garet and Ginger. Ginger was sleeping so Matt decided to lay Garet next to her. At first she woke up and kind of looked at Matt and then at Garet and then just laid back down. She is such a good dog. Garet seemed to enjoy is since Ginger is so nice and soft. I think Ginger is the one of our dogs that we would be able to do this with. The other two just want to lick him all the time. I think they would get to excited if we tried to do this with them.

This week has been mostly a smooth week so far. Since we have changed the mixture of his formula we did not think he was eating as much as he should be. So we started to write down the amount he eats at each feeding like we were in the hospital. It looks like the amount he is eating is a little lower than when we first came home but it is still over what they want him to be getting each day. Since we are mixing more formula with less water I am sure that he is getting a lot more calories than he was when we first came home. We have got back to only getting up at 2:30 and 5 in the morning so that is working really well. When he gets up at 5 it is just the right time for us to get him fed and back to bed before we have to leave to go to work.

Garet is doing so well holding up his head, we no longer have to support his neck when holding him. He is also doing really well with sitting up. He no longer wants to be laying down all the time. It will not be much longer until he is sitting up on his own. He is getting so big and wanting to look at everything.

We have our next Doctors appointment on the 29th so we will see what comes of that appointment. We are going to talk to the doctors about maybe taking a little trip to visit some family down in Orlando. Since he is still on the transplant list we have to make sure that the doctors know where we are traveling in case something happens.
