Sorry - no pictures today - I just didn't take the time. It is definitely harder to find time to post since we are at home. We had a very nice weekend. My family was here both Saturday night and today. It is so nice to be home!
Grady has been very fussy the last several days - I think it is the acid reflux. It is so frustrating because he was doing so well last week that I cancelled his appointment with the GI docs to run some tests. They were originally scheduled for this coming Friday. Now I wish I would have waited a little longer before I cancelled. I think I will try to call in tomorrow & reschedule. I can tell it hurts after he eats & he's thrown up a couple times as well which is unusual for him. I already have a couple appointments next Wednesday & it just isn't fun driving all the way to Cleveland all the time - but if they can help his reflux I guess it will be worth it.

Born with a severe congenital heart defect at 31 weeks gestation, Grady has overcome many obstacles including surviving a heart transplant 2 weeks before his actual due date at a little over 5 lbs. Doctors have said many times that it is a miracle he is alive. He has touched many lives in the short time he has been here. I can't even begin to imagine what God has in store for the rest of his life.

About Me
- Jeannie
- I am a wife to Ken and mother of two precious boys Colby & Grady. Colby is a healthy 4 year old & Grady was born on 9/13/07 (9 weeks early) with a congenital heart defect. His diagnosis was critical aortic stenosis and hypoplastic left heart. He had a lifesaving catherization the day he was born (his heart stopped twice that day). Two weeks later we were told that there was no other surgery that could be done to correct his defect. We were told that we have 2 choices: comfort care (doing nothing & allowing him to die) or a heart transplant. We opted for the transplant even though we knew that it would be a long hard road. Nine days after being listed, Grady received his new heart. He is still recovering at the Cleveland Clinic. Grady is our miracle baby! We have been staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Cleveland since September of 2007.
