Grady enjoying the pool.

We had a awesome time on vacation, but now it's back to reality! We came home Sunday evening around 6:00. Tuesday Grady started tugging on his ear again & not eating well, so I took him to his pediatrician on Wednesday to have her check for an ear infection. There was so much wax in his ear that she couldn't see, so she sent me to an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat). They used some type of device to clean the wax out - I had to hold Grady against me while 2 other nurses helped hold him down. Needless to say, he was very mad by the time we were done - he is definitely a fighter! The ENT said that his ear doesn't look bright red but that there is definitely fluid there, so they started him on antibiotics again as a short term solution but said that most likely we will have to put tubes in his ears. This is the 3rd ear infection he has had since we got home on January 31. Also, they said that even though it is a very simple procedure it will have to be done in Cleveland because of his history.

Today I took Grady for his first therapy session. He really seemed to like it. It is nice to have someone work with him & tell me what we can be doing with him at home. He does have a little catching up to do, but not much considering all he's been thru.

Colby has been at Bible School this week. He is really enjoying it. I have had to rely on some of my friends to get him there & pick him up when I've been at appointments with Grady. We are so blessed to have such good friends, family & community to support us throughout all of this! Thanks so much!

I almost forgot - Grady is up to 14 lbs. 2 oz. He is gaining, but very slow.
