Hmm, spoke too soon?

Garrett seems to be having a setback and isn't feeling as good as he was two days ago. His blood panel had some out-of-range components, he's eating less food and is less energetic.


Speaking with his care team this morning, Garrett will be staying through the weekend and not heading home like we had hoped. 


In the hospital, it's hard to decipher what's going on sometimes. Is he eating less food because something is wrong, or because he just doesn't like the food here? Is he less energetic because something is wrong, because he's eating less, because he's deconditioned after lying in bed for 2 weeks, or is he just bored? 


We'll be talking more with them today about possible diagnostics or imaging they want to run.


We will update when we know more.

Out of Surgery

Garrett had a successful stoma revision and is in post-op; we're waiting for him to wake up. Speaking with his surgeon, everything went well. It wasn't obvious what caused the small bowel obstruction (ie, adhesion or kink), but his doctor did think the opening in the abdominal wall fascia was tight and food may have obstructed it, leading to an inflamed and swollen bowel. More to come...

Garrett's Home!

Garrett is back home! Though tired, he wanted to try and catch the tail end of the school day at HFS. We thought it better that he just come home; he's already had some pizza and is relaxing in bed playing Roblox by himself. Gibson is not home from school yet, and all Garrett wants to do is play with his brother! Jill and I are happy that our house will be full again tonight. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and support this week!

Today's update

 Garrett is doing well after his procedure. The obstruction has been fixed and he's passing things normally again. He has understandably been in pain since the procedure and has been trying to rest. He's been cleared for light food to see how his GI tract tolerates it. As he shakes off the heavier painkillers today, we'll be coaxing him to eat and drink today to get that process started.
