Continuing to improve

Well, Grady had a rough night the day of surgery. He spiked a very high fever but he was already taking the antibiotic for the infection so the fever broke around 12:30. Grady was able to get some much needed rest. Day two brought sedation and pain meds. Grady slept about 24 hours. Day three brought a bright eyes little boy that wanted his bottle back. Today, Grady woke up happy. He has been looking around his room, checking out all of the new colors and shapes. This room has walls to keep the sounds of others out. This is the first time , since the surgery, he has really cared where he was. Grady continues to control his own temperature. He will spike a small fever, but it will break before he gets any tylenol or motrin. That is a very good sign. We were told, in the beginning of this, that he would be very sick for about a week. Looks like, once again, Grady will have it his way. He only wanted to be sick for a couple of days. Now we will just hang out here until they change all the hardware. The next surgery will give little G new hardware and an internal drain. I am hoping that we will be able to get him out of bed after that. A couple more weeks of fighting this infection and he should get his internal shunt back.

Well, that is all for now. I will get a picture of this little snuggle boy on here when I get back to the trouse. Thank you all so very much for all your prayers. Looks like we may be here for some time. Hug my kids when you see them.

Talk soon,
