Tests at 6 Weeks

Well, Grady had to have some tests done now that he is 6 weeks old. He passed the two they did Monday. He still has an eye test coming up, but has not had to undergo that just yet. We will hear back from that test, once it has been performed. And speaking of eyes, I got a pretty good picture of his little blue eyes open. He opens them and closes them so fast that I usually just get one eye open and one closed. I actually have a series of him trying to get those eyes open. It is pretty cute the way he stretches his forhead up trying to pry his eyes open.

He is up to 3 lbs and 7.7 oz. but they tell us he will probably loose a little of that. You can see how his little neck has some swelling in it. They are giving him some medication to pull the fluid off of him. Apparently, the oxygen can cause edema to show up. But I am telling you, he looks bigger. Suzanna and I both had this thought when we saw him today. They measure his length on Sunday evenings, but I can not get his entire little body into one picture. When he was born, I had to step closer to see him. Now, I am taking a step back to try and get all of him into view.

Grady had just had a bath when we got there, so his coloring was so pink and fresh. His hair looks so shiny and soft. Suzanna kept telling him how good he smelled, while she was holding him. They just snuggled up today and had a good visit.

Tonight, Grady is suppose to meet his Great Uncle Mike. Grady is going to be quite confused because he met his Great, great Uncle Mike last week. Two Uncle Mike's? Yup, yup, yup. Families are so much fun.

We still have not recieved permission for Emma to meet her little brother. That is going to be a day to tell about. I just hope I can get a couple of pictures with the two of them. That will be fun.

Just want to thank all of you for the wonderful support system you give us. Your prayers and love sustain us and help keep us all going. Tim and Suzanna are doing very well. It helps knowing that you are all praying for them.

Talk soon,

JoJo
