The boys are doing great. No chicken pox or fevers yet. I, however, am extremely paranoid - constantly checking for bumps and fevers!
I spoke with the transplant nurse this morning. I was correct in assuming that Grady would have to go to Cleveland instead of a local hospital. She also said that since the child the boys were exposed to had already broken out he was less contagious than if it was a day or two before he broke out. That's good news but definitely not a guarantee that we won't end up with them.

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.
