ANOTHER PROVO MIRACLE!!!

Today was Grayson's big MRI. We have been waiting for this day for a long time. I have been wondering if any damage had been done to his brain, or would show up since his last MRI in March. Sometimes I would wonder how I could possibly take care of 2 sweet angels with bodies that don't work "normally". It is pretty common for 25 weekers to have significant damage and life-long issues. He is definitely more behind developmentally than he should be, so everyone has been a little bit worried.(most of all, me) I had a lot of mixed emotions.
Well, we had a rough start to the day because the sedation team couldn't place an IV. Grayson's veins are so scarred from having so many IVs in his life. He was so mad and we were 40 minutes late to the scanner because we needed the IV to sedate him so that he would hold still. After that, things went OH SO SMOOTH! He did so well. They brought him back to recover and wake up(after about a 45 minute scan) from the medicine, which took almost 2 hours. They tried to give us results before we left, but the computer system was down! Go figure. So I called our Pediatrician after lunch and they had already looked things up and were ready to call me. THE REPORT SAYS THAT GRAYSON HAS A "NORMAL" BRAIN!!! I couldn't believe it. I am so excited and relieved. WHAT A BLESSING. The chances of this, along with NO bleeding in his head when he was born are AMAZING. Those in the medical profession understand this, but those of you who aren't, I am telling you, that is like the chances of the Yankees winning the world series this year!!! We are so grateful for all that Grayson has made it through. A lot of that has to do with the amazing medical care he has been given, but I am convinced that our Father in Heaven has big plans for Grayson. He just continues to beat ALL odds. WE LOVE YOU GRAYSON!!! Thanks again for the continued love and support we receive each and every day. We have the best family and friends! THANKS!!!
Jim is finally almost back to GOOD! He has done great and not much will keep him down for long! He, of course was back in the GYM last Friday! That is dedication! I'm sure he needed a break from the madness at home! He might have gotten more rest if he had spent more time at the gym!!!
Also, our friend Reagan is going through some tough times, so PLEASE remember the McBride family in your prayers. We know God hears and answers!!! Grayson, sedated and heading to the scanner.
In the scanner. This tech took tons of Grayson's x-rays while he was in the NICU and couldn't believe how big he was!
Grayson's Nurse for today and the Nurse Practitioner who oversaw his well-being for the procedure.
As long as we let him sleep this is how he was, peaceful! Otherwise he was a BEAR! Not quite as cute as the bear in the next picture!!!
The sweetest BEAR in the world tonight. Back to "normal" and sweet as can be. I think we could be dealing with a LAZY EYE!!! This is boy who is now labeled "BABY ROGER" because everyone thinks he looks JUST like his Grandpa MAC!
