Garrett had a very tough day. They are starting to back off of the pain medication and increase his activity. We got him up and he walked about 40 feet today. I would get on my knees in front of him and support under his arms and have him walk a few steps while the nurses walked along side and carried all the wires, leads, IV's and machines. Garrett cried and tears streamed down his face, but he never quit one time. He is such my teacher.I spoke to the donor family on the phone today to let them know how Garrett was doing. They are truly a remarkable group who continue to hold Garrett up as their own world is trying to figure how to rebuild. Please continue to carry them in prayer.Tomorrow promises to be another tough one for our little Cowboy. We know this journey will be much like his first walk today...one small step at a time. We continue to praise God for another chance at life with Garrett. Everything is happening according to His perfect plan and we'll try to do our best with the blessings we have. Jessi is a gem right now, thinking of nothing but what she can do to help her brother feel better and heal. She is so very tender.Thank you all for every thought, prayer and intention. We feel your love and support and it is sustaining.
