Grayson Update

Posted in Grayson

Grayson is doing much better now!  It looks like he may have a viral infection and as bad as that is...it could have been much worse.  I am so thankful that everything is A-ok with his bowel...in all honesty, I was quite concerned about that!  So, change those prayers to praises!!

Grayson is struggling.

Posted in Grayson

Grayson surgery went well but he is not recovering very well.  He has been vomitting and dry heaving...sometimes it's bilious (green) and there is some blood.  He's had a chest X-ray because his breathing is a little labored...and a stomach X-ray because they are not hearing great bowel sounds.  The doctors are kind of baffled..they don't think that these issues are related to the surgery....

 

So pray for the doctors as you continue to pray for Grayson and his parents.

Grayson's going to Cinncinnati!!!

Posted in Grayson

Tomorrow, Grayson will be heading to the Children's Hospital of Cinncinnati for the surgery to remove his hemangiomas.  Please pray for travel mercies, that the surgery will go well and that he has a speedy recovery.  Please also pray for Judi and Don, Grayson's mom and dad.  His sister Olivia needs prayers too...it's hard when you have a sibling that is going through surgery.  I'll update after the surgery...

 

 

 

 

Here's a picture of the hemangioma on his shoulder that will be removed.

Five for Friday...Grayson

Posted in Grayson

Here's five pictures of the always cute Grayson!  Grayson has been doing well lately...not so fussy.  He has had some meds changed and this seems to be making a huge difference.  Please continue to pray for Grayson and his family...they are still dealing with his hemangioma.

 

 

 

Look what a big boy Grayson is...holding his head up like that!!

 

 

 

OK...so who doesn't want to scoop this little guy up and cover him with "sugars"??

 

 

I wonder if Grayson's big sister Olivia was around...I bet so because he's got a good grin going!!

 

 

This is Grayson's hemangioma.  You can see why it would be tough to deal with...nonetheless, he and his mom are troopers and they are doing what's necessary to make him comfortable.  He continues to have laser treatments for the hemangioma...surgery may be necessary in the future. 

 

 

 

Judi....Thank you so much for allowing me to post pictures of Grayson...it is a privilege to do so!  Grayson's mom and dad have entered the blog world with their very own blogs...go visit them when you can!

Grayson Update

Posted in Grayson

Look at this big boy sitting up on the couch!  He is a real cutie!!

 

 

 

Grayson has been a little fussy here lately but other than that he is doing well.  I did get an e-mail from his mommy saying that she may have a sitter for him...I need to check back with her to find out if this is going to work out.  That would be a praise if it does...moms and dads need to get out!!

 

Please continue to pray for Grayson:

 

  • that his shoulder will continue to heal and not be so painful
  • that his reflux will not be so hard on him

Grayson Update

Posted in Grayson

Grayson has not had a good day....his visit to the dermatologist to take care of his hemangioma resulted in three hours of crying...for him and probably for his mom too!!  Let's surround this little guy with lots of prayer...let's ask God to heal this hemangioma so Grayson is not in so much pain.  Let's also pray for a babysitter for Grayson so errands can be ran...and dates can be taken, etc.  This is not an easy life folks but these kids are such blessings....Grayson's mom is certainly aware of this!!

Congratulations...

Posted in Grayson

to Grayson!  He no longer is on the apnea monitor!  This is great news and a huge praise item.  Continue to pray for Grayson as he visits the dermatologist tomorrow and the rehab doctor on Friday.  I know one less appointment is wonderful for the whole family!!  I'm so tickled for the Ledfords'!!  You can visit Grayson's Carepage site at www.carepages.com then type in graysonledford.

Meet Grayson!

Posted in Grayson

Isn't he just the cutest little fellow??  He looks so squeezable!!  Grayson is a "26 weeker" who started out weighing only 1 lb. 12ozs.!!   Preemie babies quite often experience a lot of different complications...Grayson is no exception.   Reflux has been an issue for Grayson and he and his family need prayers for his healing.  There's a lot of "work" that goes into taking care of a baby with reflux...there are several different medications and usually a gazillion different formulas have to be tried.  Grayson's mom is dedicated to taking excellent care of him but I know from experience that this lifestyle can be quite tiring...so prayers for Grayson's mom would be nice too!!  He also has a hemangioma which can be very painful...pray also that this heals soon.

 

 

 

 

 

Grayson's Prayer List:

 

  • Reflux situation alleviated
  • Hemangioma healed
  • Rest and Peace for Grayson's family
