Good news for Garret today. His PDA is officially closed, and it appears that there is tissue growing around his VSD (or in lay men's term the slight hole in his heart that would cause a murmur). Also, he was able to be dressed in a stylish, adorable outfit (that will probably fit him for at least a couple of months)! Erin helped dress him and he looked, oh, so cute!
Garret has been having a bit of trouble breathing, with the occasionally drop in heart rate (bradycardia) and bit of apnea. However, we are quite blessed that he is breathing on his own! Many preemies in similar conditions are not breathing on their own, so this is a huge accomplishment. But, when he has these little epidsodes it can feel like minor setbacks. Rest assured he is great hands and is continually monitiored until he will be strong enough to run like the wind!
