Grady is doing much better these last couple of days. He is still in the PICU, but you can see the smile for yourself. We are beginning to see our little boy returning to himself. He has been through a lot these last two weeks. If you are counting, Grady has had three procedures in the last two weeks. All of them in his head. He has spent the last week sedated, so we have spent a great deal of time at the hospital with him. The doctors have begun to reduce his sleep drip and his pain medication. This has caused him a little discomfort because the sleep medication is a narcotic and coming off of that has given our little man a challenge. Last night, he had a rough time of it. According to his care givers, he was wide awake for most of the night. Today, Grady has slept most of the day. They have begun the weening process again today. Let's hope this little fella' gets some sleep tonight.
During Report, one of Grady's doctors asked if the patient has been out of his bed. When the nurse told him no, he ordered more treatment. This PRN (as needed) is for JoJo, Mommy and Daddy. The doctor ordered the patient be allowed to get out of bed, PRN. Now that is one treatment that I completely agree with. Needless to say, Grady spent several hours in my arms, on his tummy today. This may be why some people fall in love with their doctors.
As always, thank you for your prayers and support. We are so very blessed to have you in our lives and family.
Talk soon,
JoJo
