We did make it to church on Sunday & we had a great time. We are looking forward to returning on a regular basis.
We had a bit of a scare on Tuesday. Ken fell approx. 15 - 20 feet at work. He landed on his back. He was taken by ambulance to the ER where they did a CAT scan on his back & found that nothing was broken. He is very sore and will be off of work for a few days. We are so thankful that he was not hurt more seriously. He could have been paralyzed or even killed. God was definitely watching over him!
Grady has been more fussy than normal the last couple of days. We thought maybe he is teething (he is also drooling more) but we have not found any bumps on his gums yet. He is still getting up quite a bit a night. It seems he is not eating enough at one time to get him thru the night. Ugh!

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.
