Grady in his cute little hospital gown.

Mommy & Grady

Wow - What a day! Grady's biopsy went well this morning and the results are in - ZERO rejection! Praise God! We got the results around 5:00 pm today. Also, Dr. Boyle said we can go home tomorrow! Can you believe it? My brain is just spinning right now. I was afraid rehab would not let us go - but Dr. Boyle made it clear to them that it's time we go home. The only thing that could possibly hold us up is if the medicines or Grady's formula don't get here for some reason. I was able to find a pharmacy that compounds & they feel that his medications should be ready by noon tomorrow. Rehab still has one that they need to fax over in the morning so hopefully it is one the pharmacy carries. Rehab is also working on getting the formula we need.

The plans for tomorrow are for me to go to rehab at 9:00 am like I always do & give Grady his feeds as well as work with rehab on anything else we might need when we get home. They are planning on pulling his ng tube out, so all meds and feeds will be oral. Once the prescriptions are ready, Ken, my mom and Jolie will bring them up here (so that rehab can check them) and help pack and clean the room at RMH & then we will head home - 4 1/2 months of living in Cleveland away from friends and family is finally coming to an end! We can bring our miracle baby home!

Please pray that the pharmacy would be able to fill all of the prescriptions tomorrow and also that once we are home Grady would do well with his feeds. He wouldn't eat at all today & I'm sure it was because of the biopsy, being at a different hospital and not having the special nipple he uses. I would hate to be home for a couple days only to have to come back because he won't eat. Also, pray for our family. We have been waiting for this day ever since Grady was born but it is going to be a huge adjustment for all of us - just pray that everything would go smoothly.
