Day 16 – Grayson’s Condition

Dear family and friends

Today was a good day.

That roller coaster keeps on going – up and down and up again. After a lot of sleep last night and today, Grayson appeared to recognize an old favorite stuffed animal. We are not yet sure if he was able to see it as we are not sure if his eyes are able to focus, or weather just the mention of his name was able to evoke a memory. However he smiled at the mention of his name. That smile means a lot to hungry parents. Maybe, just maybe, there is some healing?

Grayson's tracheostomy and feeding tube placement went without a hitch this afternoon. Those irritants are now removed, and tonight he is sedated. Perhaps Regina can get some well deserved sleep!

I know that I have said that this is a long road that we are on. The length of that road is starting to sink in. For your friendship, your support and your faith we are eternally grateful. We have said before that Grayson is in God's hands. We are comforted by that belief, and we know that your love and support is with us as we move forward.

Pax!

Brant and Regina

  5. Dear Reed Family,
    During the worst of storms, the strong oak tree can be uprooted and the mighty pines can splinter apart, but the palm tree bends to the winds and sways. It may even bend all the way to the ground. When the storm is over, that very palm tree resumes a glorious position, standing upright and strong, proving it can stand up to the storm.
    Your Grayson is a palm tree.
    Blessings,
    Debi
