Jolie with Grady in recovery.Let me start by saying that Grady slept thru the night Saturday & Sunday - yippee!!! Hopefully he will continue! It's amazing how good I feel with a full night's sleep!
Jolie, Grady & I went to RMH Sunday night since Grady had a biopsy scheduled for 6:30 am (Colby stayed with my sister Rosy). We got to RMH around 6:00 pm - I wanted to be able to relax & unwind after the drive, especially since we had to get up so early the next morning. I had really been craving Chipotle (I haven't eaten there since January 31 - the day we came home) so on the way to RMH I got myself a Fajita Burrito Bowl and some chips & salsa to go! Yummy!
Grady's biopsy today went very well. The procedure only lasted about an hour & then he had to go to surgical recovery for about an hour. From there we went to echo & EKG & then to the M40 floor to be monitored. They allowed us to leave the hospital at about 2:00 but we were supposed to stay at RMH until the results came back. Dr. Boyle finally called at about 5:45 with the results - ZERO rejection - and cleared us to go home. I had to pull Grady's iv out at RMH (they had left it in just in case there was any rejection). He was pretty upset when I did it but he got over it pretty quick.
We decided to eat at RMH while we waited for the results since it was getting so late. I bet you can't guess what we had - well ok, you probably can - pasta of course. I was able to tolerate it, though, since it wasn't the 3rd or 4th time in a week that I was having it. I know you all think that I hate pasta but I really don't - I just get tired of cooked noodles with pasta sauce poured on top which is what the pasta at RMH consists of. I missed a great meal at home tonight. A lady that Ken is working for sent a really good meal home with him since she knew we were in Cleveland all day. Good thing there are left overs - I will definitely be enjoying it tomorrow!
Well, I am exhausted! I'm going to head off to bed - hopefully Grady will sleep thru the night, but if he doesn't, Ken has offered to get up with him. What a sweetheart!

Hi Jeannie,
How awesome 0 rejection! Praise God! How often does Grady have to do biopsy's?
Way to go Grady sleeping through the nite!!!! Thats always such a relief when babies start doing that, and yes it makes a difference when you wake up in the morning. I decided to see what the results were from Gradys biopsy early this morning....I had hoped that you already posted. I have a busy day today, so many errands! Have great day!

Hi Jeanne,
I don't know if you remember me, but I went to school with Leah and Rosy (Rosy is actually my twin:)) I came across your blog awhile back, and I just wanted to let you know how much I admire your strength. I know your faith gets you a long way! It's hard enough to take care of a newborn, let alone one with a heart condition. You will all be in my prayers! By the way your boys are beautiful!
