Grady's first week

Grady's first day began at 3:49 am, Sunday morning. He was not due to join us yet, but insisted. He is 15 weeks early. All of Grady's day is spent in the NICU with his fabulous nurses. He has 'round the clock' care. He was on a ventilator the first day. By day 2, he was breathing on his with the assistance of his CPAP. Around day 5, he required the ventilator assistance again because he was getting very tired of all the work he was having to do.


Mom and Dad were told that he will drop some weight, which he did. Grady's weight in miligrams is 764 which is 1.68 lbs. When he reaches 1,000 miligrams (2.2 lbs), Mommy can hold him.

Please continue to pray for Grady as he continues to learn to live in this world. He is a fiesty little man and is working hard to learn all these strange new things. Keep his caregivers in your prayers as well.
