Make it a single, please

Garrett has now had three roommates so far post-surgery:

• Day 1 was a 5 month old who was pretty chill, and Garrett slept the entire time anyway.
• Yesterday, Garrett had an 8 year old boy who had a lot of the same interests. After Garrett woke up a little, they became quick friends and played Battleship and watched Bluey together.
• This morning at 2am, we got a new roommate: a 2 year old boy who was not a happy camper. He finally calmed down at 4am and we got some sleep.

So, we’re pretty tired this morning! Since we’ll probably be here over the weekend, I’ve been pushing for a single room. Keeping my fingers crossed.

However, we had good news from the surgeons at 7am. Garrett is progressing well, so we can move beyond crackers to regular food. He’s still limited on food choices because of his IBD and surgery (so, no bacon), but pancakes with a little syrup are back on the menu.

So, I wheeled Garrett down to the cafeteria and he had some pancakes and milk. Now we’ll see how he processes everything and go from there.

Moving forward!

Thanks,

Stephen
