Hangin' out in the PICU

Well, here we are still in the ICU. Grady is doing well, he just has to be monitored by these nurses while his shunt is on the outside. Looks like we may have another surgery once his ventricles are expanded. Sounds a little scary, but the surgeon is hoping to go through Grady's right ventricle to get to the last cyst. Hopefully, he can because that will be a little less invasive. Of course, all surgery is difficult, but his doctor was telling us that brain surgery is easier to recouperate from than most other surgeries. HHHHMMMMM. I wonder how many he has recouperated from???? Just kidding. Thank you, Lord, Grady has one of the best neurosurgeons there is. Dr. H. is suppose to be the best when it comes to pediatrics. Now, he did tell us that Grady has not done anything normal yet. Dr. H admitted that our little man has been a challenge.

Funny how things happen. Makes you wonder how God planned all of this eons ago. I was talking with another parent yesterday, from W.F.. Man, this world gets smaller every day. When you pray for our little G, you might just add all of these precious little people in your prayers. You don't need their names, just knowing that they are all fighters and all deserve to have someone loving and praying for them is enough. We have made several friends here. Some of them are patients and family and some are the wonderful nurses, therapists and specialists that help Grady and all the other kiddos here.

As always, love you guys and thanks for loving my children. Your prayers and support are truly what we need.

Talk soon,
JoJo
