I know many of you have followed Garrett's fight on some other sites. If you want to know the whole story goto
www.caringbridge.org/visit/garrettjones Just thought I would put an update here! We really appreciate all of your prayers. There is no doubt the Good Lord has been looking after Garrett.
This is the update I just put on the caringbridge website:
Well, bout that time again...time to give ya'll an update.
Garrett had a checkup with the Cardiologist this afternoon. Everything still looks good. They are a little concerned that his weight gain has slowed down, but otherwise everything looked and sounded good.
As far as the weight gain goes, they told us to start adding a little extra formula to each bottle.
They did say he is the oldest baby waiting for the fountaine (spelling) procedure. So unless something happens where they have to do it sooner, I expect his surgery to be in mid to late April. At his next appointment in February they will do a cath procedure. Basically they put him under then run a catheter up to his heart. They inject dyes and watch to see how well everything is flowing. It is possible they may have to balloon his shunt. If so he will have to spend the night. They want to get the cath done just in case something happens requiring the surgery to be done before April. They said they will not do surgery until they have done a cath, so they need to get it done just in case.
The procedure in April will be a bypass procedure where they reroute the blood coming into the heart through the superior vena cava so that it goes directly to the lungs. His third surgery in a couple years will do the same with the inferior vena cava.
Dang! I sure sound smart when I talk bout this stuff!
Your continued prayers are very much appreciated!
