Doctors update

On the 1st of October we had another clinic visit over at Shands and it went very well. He is still growing in both weight and length, and this is very good. He got to see all his normal friends there and each time they are so happy to see how well he is doing. They did the EKG and ECO and dr Fricker said that is looks like everything is still continuing to improve at a very slow rate. The big news was that he will no longer have to be seen in the transplant clinic. They are going to start seeing him in the Cardiomyopathy clinic. This is very exciting. They are not going to take him off the transplant list but they feel he is doing well enough that the transplant teem is no longer the team that needs to see him. We got to meet the fellow dr that is in charge of the Cardiomyopathy clinic and she seems really nice and Garet really seemed to take right to her. Dr Fricker is still going to be the main guy over top of everything going on with Garet but we are going to be making the transition out of the transplant area. Again we are still leaving the door open in case we do have to go back to that area but hopefully that will not happen.

Matts doctors visit last week went pretty good as well. The Cardiologist listed to his heart and did an EKG and said from that he did not see anything abnormal. He goes back this week to have an ECO and and a treadmill stress test and see how is heart is looking and reacting to different work loads. So far so good in that area. We will have a little bit more info after his appointment on Thursday.

We have been learning that no matter what we do everything in our lives is in Gods hands and he will help us threw anything he sends our way. It is very hard some times to just let go and have that strong faith, but we are trying as hard as we can.

Garet is now sitting up all on his own and we are working on crawling. The crawling right now is more like putting his head on the floor and lifting his butty in the air. I know one day he will put it all together and we will not be able to stop him. That is what happened with sitting up. One day we had to be right next to him all the time if he was sitting up and then the next day he was doing it all by himself. It is so hard to believe that he is now 6 months old. I am going to try to get outside this coming weekend and take some pictures of him so I can post some up to date pics on this site. The weather is starting to get cooler so we can get out and do some pictures by the river or something.

Well until next time. I hope you are all having a great week.
