We're a Movin'

Today we got some news we have been waiting for since we got here - Garrett was moving from the PICU to the regular Pediatric unit!  This was literally half way to the door home for us.  Garrett started out in the PICU in room 13 and is now in the Peds unit in room 6.  While we have loved, and will seriously miss, the care that Garrett has received from our amazing PICU nurses and doctors, we are really excited about this move.  This is one of Garrett's major steps to get back home with us!!! 
This is Garrett's new room- Peds #6!
Garrett was able to finally wear clothes again today - he looks so handsome in his Christmas pjs!!!
And we are on the move!
Garrett's last few moments in his really big hospital bed!
And here he is in his new (and much smaller) bed- he looks so great!!!
Garrett has a few more things he needs to conquer before we can head home.  First, he needs to get off of oxygen and be okay breathing on his own.  Second, he needs to finish his final course of antibiotics.  Third, he has to get off of his last two sedation medications.  Forth, we need to get his PICC line out.  And fifth, he needs to improve on his feedings.  His new doctor on the Peds unit said that if all keeps going well, we could be home as early as Tuesday - here's hoping!
