One year later and these pictures that the University of Michigan took for us are some of my favorites. We were nearing the end of our journey at Mott's Children's Hospital, and our sweet boy was doing SO great! Better than any of us ever expected, just 1.5 months after open heart and airway surgery. These were taken for their website and for our first NPR article we did 1 year ago this week. I remember going out the day before this shoot, and for the first time in almost 4 months, I was able to dress Garrett in clothes again...it was a big milestone! We really felt like we were dreaming at times, with how amazing the hospital was and the procedure went. So so grateful. 💕 #tbt A photo posted by • n a t a l i e • (@nataliasue) on Mar 12, 2015 at 10:18am PDT

Oh ya know, just chillin' with my cousin Hudson! ❤️ I love seeing these 2 together, and can't wait until they are running around causing mischief together ☺️ Love having them live so close! A photo posted by • n a t a l i e • (@nataliasue) on Mar 11, 2015 at 1:58pm PDT
It's an exciting day at our house today! When Garrett first came home, he was needing about 2-4 liters, so we had an oxygen concentrator that went up to 10 liters. Lately, Garretts been doing so well on his oxygen needs, and only needing between 1/2-1 liter most of the time (only about 24% oxygen) so we were able to trade out his concentrator for this smaller, quieter (YAY) blue one that goes to 5 liters! We are hoping this means good things for that left lung of his. SO proud of him!💓 A photo posted by • n a t a l i e • (@nataliasue) on Mar 9, 2015 at 3:23pm PDT

Garrett is getting stronger each day! Today my mom and I have been brainstorming ideas and ways we can help this boy get sitting up all on his own. I think we have come up with an idea that just might help - excited to try it out👌 Look at him! He's doing great! 💕 Love him 💕 #garrettistheman A photo posted by • n a t a l i e • (@nataliasue) on Mar 4, 2015 at 1:36pm PST

Since Garrett has a trach, talking or making any noise at all is very difficult. Before he got his trach I was nervous that he wouldn't be able to communicate way well, and he and I would get frustrated easily not knowing what he wanted. Well, that is not the case at all! I can tell exactly what this boy thinks and is telling me. We pretty much have our own language 👌 These pictures make me laugh - the one on the left is him watching Signing Time, and on the right is him watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! 😂 Love this boy!
