The best news we have heard in such a long time it seems.....we got to leave the hospital! It came with definite joy but also a bit of anxiety since he needs a lot of meds including sodium every four hours, antibiotics through a PICC line, anti seizure medicine and on and on. So, I am pretty much his home nurse for the time being, which is why it is a bit scary cause I don't want to mess up. But we do have regular appointments set up in Pocatello with the doc that saw him on Christmas. He was such a good doctor, and he definitely saved his life that night. He barely left his crib the entire night. He would just sit there and stare at the monitors and would even just go over to hold Grady's hand or let him suck his finger. What an exceptional doctor. So, basically he is in great hands...and always has been. We have seen so many tender mercies. Hopefully all goes well so we can join my lonely hub in Montana soon. A MILLION thank you's for all of you who has been praying and fasting for little Grady to pull through. Thank you for your support and love. We couldn't have made it through the last month and what lies ahead without you all.
PS . if you have tried to call our cell phone, our plan expired on the 12th so we have to get a new phone soon....sorry to leave you hanging Amy! :)

I'm a little relieved that it was an expired plan. ;-) what great news!!! I'm so happy that you get to go be w your family (minus Eli). Soon enough though!!! So many people are praying for you too so I'm sure you'll be a fabulous home nurse. Travel safe!
'what great news' meant that you get to leave the hospital, not that you don't have a phone.
I can see why you are a little nervous. That's a big responsibility. But wow, what great news! We are hoping you are all reunited soon. You have been an inspiration to us -- staying so focused on the eternal scheme of things amidst the incredible trial. Thinking of all of you!
Hooray! What wonderful news! We'll be praying for you!
We are so grateful that things are going so well. Grady and your family will continue to be in our prayers and thoughts! Love, the Marrott family
Velvet, I have complete faith in your nursing abilities. Just like at the hospital when the nurse interrupted, when you knew exactly what was wrong and knew what to do. Your love and care will nurse him through along with the angels watching ore you. You will be a pro in no time! I have seen it with my daughter Cherisse. We are so happy you out of the hospital.Yeah!! Raquel Smith
He is in our families prayers. thanks for all your support with Eric.
