Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to everyone from Garet. We made a trip down to Orlando to visit family that lives down there. It was nice to have Friday off of work so we could get down there a day earlier and have plenty of time to hang out and relax. Matt was able to play a round of golf on Friday. They had a great deal were they got to play as much golf and eat as many hot dogs as they wanted for a very good price. I know he was excited about being able to get out and play some gold. It has been a long time since he has been able to do that. Garet, Grandma Rose I got to relax and do some swimming.

The picture above is Garet sporting his new sunglasses. He did not mind them so much for about 5 minutes or so. I think if it was sunnier out he would have liked to have them on, but since it was about 10 in the morning that he went swimming there was not much sun on the pool at that time.
Above it a picture of Grandma Rose and Garet. Grandma Rose was helping him jump up out of the water and them splash a little in the water and Garet really enjoyed that. If you look close you can see a smile on his face.

We got to test out his new floaty toy for the pool. It was almost as big as the Jacuzzi part of the pool so he did not get to float around to much but we did get to see how he liked it. He is still a little bit to small for it. It is for 6 months and up so someone had to make sure to hold him up so he did not fall forward. It will not be much longer and he will be floating around all over Ganny's pool.

It was so nice to take a weekend and just get away. Matt and I got to go and see some fireworks on Saturday night. We did not take Garet because we did not know how he would react. We really wish that we would have since we sat far enough away that I don't think the noise would have bothered him.

Garet is doing so great with his eating and taking of his medicines. He is now up to 12 pounds and 1 ounce the last time that we took him into see the transplant doctors. That was a little bit over a week ago so I am sure that he has gained more since then. He is not out of all of his 0-3 month clothes. Most of his little outfits are right around 6 months in size. He is just getting so long that we have to go a little bit bigger so it does not ride up. Well that is all for right now. I should be getting copies of the pictures from the poker run, and as soon as I do get them I will post a bunch of them so you can all see them.

Thank you to everyone that has been donating money to help with medical bills. It has been such a big help and financial relief to not have to stress about were the money is going to come from to pay all the bills that are rolling in. Most of all thank you for the continued thoughts and prayers, they have been great and please keep them coming.
