Please pray for my future hunting partner (new pics Jan 2009)

[Doc Nock]

What a journey you guys are on... one of Faith, blessings a many, and trials enough for a life-time! And yet, just looking at his picture in your avatar, it takes little imagination to know how you'd have it no other way.

Blessings and prayers to the whole family. Not only is Garrett in discomfort, but a close family like yours all suffers through such an ordeal.

What doesn't kill us will make us stronger. The Jones family should be ready to tackle Hell with a squirt gun pretty soon!

Prayers continue for Garrett's total healing and quick recovery and trip home to continue to grow in God's favor.

Keep the Son in your eyes!

The Lil' Tiger is feeling much better!  He finally pooped today!  He has to be feeling better!

I came home last night and Suzie stayed up there.  

We still have to get the chest drains removed...and most of you know what happened last time (he crashed because his chest filled with air and put pressure on his lungs).

Thank you for your continued prayers!

[Doc Nock]

Ah...the miracle of a good constituitional!   :rolleyes:  

Such a joy to keep reading of how things are continuing to improve...

My fingers were ready to type to not fear because of the last time...and then I had to stop and smile, Chip, since now that my job was eliminated, my biggest fear is how long it took "last time" to find new work.  

funny how we can tend to encourage others to have faith and not fear, but when it stares us in the face personally, it can change complexion.

So...together now...Let's not FEAR the past and live in Faith that God will Provide!!! God's brought you guys this far, He's going to see you through to the end! And I will try to hold that image myself!

Congrats on current progress. Keep the Son in your eyes...thanks for keeping us uplifted. Peace, brother.

Just talked to Suzie and it sounds like they are getting ready to pull the chest drains.

The only issue he has had is his oxygen saturation levels are occasionally going to low.

Thanks for your continued prayers!

Doc,
to quote you:
Keep the Son in your eyes!!!!!

[Hooked]

Praise the Lord!

The chest drains are out and they have turned off the oxygen. Once he has had the drains out and the oxygen off for 24 hours he can come home. Assuming everything else is okay.

So, could possibly be coming home tomorrow.

[Doc Nock]

Thank You, Jesus! Hitting the home stretch (literally) now, bud!

Prayers continue for a speedy recovery and getting that precious li'l boy home tomorrow or whenever He wills!

[Hooked]

I stayed up there with him till about 6:30pm last night. He was cracking up! All I had to do was say BOO and he would start belly laughing! Nothin better than hearing your baby laugh like that! You'd never know he just had open heart surgery, no complaining from him! It was great for me before I had to leave for Wichita.

Hopefully he will be home when I get there tonight!!

[Doc Nock]

Tears of joy reading your report...what a joy that must have been for you... Laughter is such good medicine.

May God's grace, peace and love surround and envelope you, Garrett and your family and continue to carry your Son in God's Son's loving arms through total recovery.

Peace...

[Hooked]

First chance to get on the computer since late Thurs night.

Garrett came home on Friday!!!  Praise God!!

[Doc Nock]

Man, what a Momma's Day present that has to be...and Sister's Day...and Daddy's Day...

Thank you, Lord, Thank you!!!

Congratulations! Give him a tickle and make him laugh for us here on Gang!

[bowdude]

Thats great PTL!  What a joy and a blessing.

For some reason it just dawned on me.  You might want to save this thread offline on a disk or an SD card to share with the little tyke at the right moment when he is older.  Love to him and your family.

Suzie is on her way downtown right now for some follow up appointments. Think they are doing a chest x-ray, echo, and removing the staples on his incision.

Garrett's doing great!

By the way, his new favorite babble is:

'DA DA DA DA DA!' :-)

[Aeronut]

[Doc Nock]

SWEEEEETTT! Just remember chip, DADADA is easier to form than Mamamma...so don't go getting upity on Suzie...her Day was just yesterday!      

Prayers continue for excellent check ups and progress!

[Hooked]

Doc Nock,
He has already said "ma ma ma ma ma", but he only says it when he is upset.

Chest x-ray was clear and echo looked like it was supposed to...Garrett was not happy when they removed his staples.

Thank you, Lord!!

[Doc Nock]

OOps...     Thanks for the correction! But that ain't winning him points just to say Mamma when he's upset!  

Great news as I get ready to head to the B'more shoot that all was well with follow up!

I had to smile when you said he wasn't happy when they removed staples...seems that is true for all of us... progress and betterment has it's pain in life and most of us, me included, tend to hollar some when we go through that process!

Thank you, Lord, for Garrett's progress. We pray for continued healing and watching over to ensure he will be around to laud your holy name!


Keep the Son in your eyes!

[fatman]

Chip, so glad to hear things are going well.

Our prayers are with you

Kevin
