I took a little break from the blog page this weekend. I am sorry to those of you that have been checking it every day. Not much new happened over the weekend. Things are going nice and smooth right now. We had to change the time and amounts of medicine that Garet was getting at one time. They had him scheduled to get his medicine 2 times a day. Once in the morning and once right before bed. That was fine except they had him taking all 7 meds at once two different times a day. Well those times just happen to fall right near the time he was eating. His poor little tummy couple not hold a normal feeding plus all the different meds that he needed to take. We had a few time that everything came back up. This is when we had to talk to the nurse about spacing them out a little bit. I think we have it worked out now. He now takes half at one time and then the other half about an hour later. That seems to be working better. The nurse said that the times that he takes the meds is not as important as the fact that he takes it all and keeps it down.
We aredo not want to get to excited but it is hard not to. Right now it looks like we might be getting to go home on Wed some time. Things have been going well and the doctors are very impressed with how strong Garet has been. If we are lucky enough to go home on Wed we will still have to go back and forth to Gainesville at least once a week for a while. Since he will hopefully continue to grow at a fast pace, his meds will have to continually be adjusted. We are just so excited that they are even talking about us possible getting to go home. I will keep you all posted.
