Grady without the ng tube. He scratched his nose pretty good & his cheeks are red from being taped for so long.

Grady loves his new swing.

Colby was doing "cool, cool tricks" with his balls tonight.

Grady is still doing very well at home. He continued eating well today - so we pulled the ng tube out. He doesn't seem quite as fussy after he eats so maybe the tube was irritating his acid reflux. He has an appointment with the Gastroenterologist Wednesday.

Grady still has his fussy times - usually right after he eats, when we try to give him his meds and in the evening. Overall, we can see a huge improvement, though, from the first day at home. Tomorrow Ken goes back to work so I will be on my own - hopefully he has a good day. It can be pretty stressful trying to get him to take his medication when he is screaming!

Colby is enjoying being at home. He has been playing a lot with his toys and on the computer. Grandma & Grandpa Schlabach were here (they brought us brunch) and Colby was able to show them his new room and play Crazy Eight with them. He is a very helpful big brother!

And Grady w/o out his tube,sure it feels good to have taken it out. Praying that your day goes smooth w/ Ken going to work. Remember I'm not far if you would need anything. We are so excited that you are finally home. Love Lorene

Jeannie,

So glad to hear Grady's settling in. He looks great ng tubeless!!

I hope you, too, are able to settle in within the next week or so to being a mom of two and all that entails. I'm so glad you guys are finally home. I feel great knowing that all my new friends have made it home safely, now.

BTW, we'll be in Canton on 4/14 and 4/15....how far away are you?! Let's get together!!!!!

Love,
Tiff
