Rough Day

Grant had a pretty restless night. He is still battling a cough that he just can't seem to shake. We were able to give him a bath this morning and get all the adhesive cleaned off of him. He's got some jammies on now which is nice. He walked out of the room for a minute the other day and was looking at all the nurses out there. Then he leaned over to me and said "I want clothes." : ) We went for a walk in a wagon this morning and this afternoon and were able to take him outside. It was good for him to get some fresh air. He also went to the playroom they have down the hall. He's still just kind of going along with things though. He's not real excited about any of this. He has told us he wants to go in the car and go home several times. He is very scared of anyone who walks in our room. He is not having to be stuck with anything anymore since he got the port, but he is still scared of everything. The blood pressure cuff is the worst. It's very hard to see that fear in his face. However, the doctor came by today and is VERY pleased with his progress. He has not had a fever since Wed. night. His lungs have cleared despite the lingering cough. His blood counts all looked good today after receiving a blood transfusion.

  1. Amy-love the new look on the blog :) Hope you got Shane's message about work. We love your precious family and are telling everyone we know to pray for Grant. I've linked to this blog from mine, with virtual strangers promising to pray. Isn't the Body of Christ a beautiful thing?

  2. I have loved reading about Grant's journey. It helps to know how to pray for him and all of you. We will continue praying and loving your family. Isn't it great to know that God is with us in hospitals?
