HOME AWAY FROM HOME

SWEETEST BABY I HAVE EVER MET!!!
I have to admit I have been a little bit bummed. I took Grayson to the doctor yesterday because he hasn't been feeling very well. We think that he has reflux and that is causing him to aspirate formula into his lungs. He sounds like his lungs are full of junk all of the time. He has been so fussy and grumpy which is not like him at all. The doctor is a little bit concerned because we have him on as much medicine as we can give him, and he is getting worse. He has also started having these major cold sweats. He will soak all the way through his clothes. The GI doc can't see him until January, so we are a little bit stuck. The 2 doctors decided that they needed to run a bunch of tests to see if their diagnosis is really the right one. Today they set up quite a few tests for Monday. I had to stop listening to the tests that they were running because I was so upset by all of it. I sure am grateful that we have been able to have at least a few weeks that he has felt good.
Next Wednesday Grayson is also scheduled for his follow-up MRI to see if his brain has been damaged by all that his little body has been through. We go in at 9am Monday and the last test is scheduled for 12pm. His MRI is first thing Wed. morning. Hopefully we will be able to get some answers this week. Needless to say we are a little bit stressed around these parts. Grayson and I have spent most of the nights this week keeping eachother company. He has been so miserable. It looks like we will spend a good chunk of next week at our HOME AWAY FROM HOME! So now we are asking you to pretty please...
PRAY FOR GRAY(son)

THIS IS GRAYSON NORMALLY. SO HAPPY AND WILL SMILE AT ANYTHING AND EVEN NOTHING!!!

THIS IS HOW GRAYSON IS LOOKING THE PAST LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN TELL HE DOESN'T FEEL VERY GOOD. :(

He is the sweetest baby ever. He has overcome so much in his short life ! We will pray for you and Jim and the kiddies! Let me know how things turn out. Hope Jim is feeling better with those darn twins gone :) We had to explain that text to Eric...he was a little confused also. Well I loved seeing all those pictures, thanks for sharing!

We have Grayson in our thoughts and prayers, and we know he is already been blessed by Heavenly Father.

We all remember our time at the hospital, and the sweet Spirit which was there. He will come again.

Love to Grayson and all the Provo Macs!!

Hey Guys! I wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers today. We have been praying big time for Grayson,and for strength for all of you. He is so strong, with Gods will he can fight anything!We miss seeing all of you, and look forward to your next visit. I thought it was funny that Grayson was sitting in my lap in A-banana, and watching free-style moto-cross in Salt Lake City. We wish we could be there with you all to try and give you the support you gave us. Know that our thoughts, hearts, and prayers are there. Love you guys! Al
