Sorry So Long since Last post

Good afternoon to all

I meant to get on here a while ago and update on Garets dr visit. We have been going threw a time of ear infections. It started a couple months ago with an ear infection in the left ear. Antibiotics took care of that one. Then about a month later or 3 weeks ago he got an ear infection in the right ear. At the end of the antibiotics for that one he some how got an ear infection in his right ear. So this time they gave him an antibiotic shot and then another 10 days of antibiotics. We are now on day 4 of those. We will see what the next week or so brings with the ears.

Garets dr appointment with his cardiologists went really well. I was concerned that when we went in because he has not been sleeping as well. After his heart appointment I am sure the sleeping issues are having to do with teething and ear infections. Anyway he saw the main hear doctor this time and they did an ECO and EKG and also a chest x-ray just to make sure his heart was not pushing on his lungs causing sleeping issues. When all that was done everything looks to be the same as it has been. About 1/2 strength. He did ask that we come back every month for a while so we can try to adjust some of the meds to try to get the function to increase more. We will be going back on the 24th of June. At that time he will have to have blood drawn to see what his level of different stuff is doing. And then I am sure they will do another EKG and ECO to see if the increase in meds is doing anything.

I have had a couple changes to our Garet Page. I still want to keep everyone up to date on what is going on with Garet and his health. I would also like to start to add all the fun things we are doing as a family. So I have changed the title of this page to The Howard Family Blog page now. Maybe this will keep me updating it more often. Well that is what is going on with us right now. We have a vacation coming up and can not wait to just relax and have fun with all of our family.
