Giving to Grady

For those of you that did not know, several of Mommy and Daddy's friends wanted to do something to help Grady. There was a golf tournament and dinner for him. We had a blast. It was so much fun seeing everyone, watching the teams play golf and just talking with people.

There were Team Grady T shirts, there were hamburgers grilled out, carts for us non-golfing partipants and two chances to win money or a car for a hole in one. By the way, golf cart zooming can be a lot of fun. Just remember, you need to know who is teeing off before you pass up a team. Philip and Kimala had a zoom by golf ball bouncing in front of their cart. Guess that means it was bouncing behind me.

The turn out was wonderful. There were quite a few teams. We had players from Oklahoma, Fort Worth and a very special person drove in from Florida to spend time with our Grady while Mommy and Daddy were at the fund raiser. Hope GiGi did not get all of the Grady kisses.

As for our little guy, he is doing very well. Grady is on two different antibiotics which has caused him to drop some weight. But, as you can see, he still looks cute as ever. We have a couple more weeks of these drugs and then we can concentrate on putting the weight back on him. Grady has not let that slow him down, though. The big smile you see is from Grady getting his mobile back. The batteries has run down and he had gone several hours without his little friends circling his head. The nurse got batteries put in the mobile and within 30 to 45 seconds, I had this smiling picture. He was so happy to see his monkey, ostrich and giraffe circling his head that he chuckled.

I want to take just a minute to thank every one of you for coming out to the Golf Tournament and the dinner, Saturday. Your kindness, support and generosity was overwhelming. Tim and Suzanna and the rest of the family want to tell you how much we love and appreciate all you have done for Grady. Having your for support warms our hearts. We can never say Thank You, enough.

Talk soon,
