Grant's Journey

Wow. It has been a little while since I wrote a Grant update! Perhaps that has been because some of our recent activities have been a little less than happy. Look at this little face and I bet you can imagine why I haven't blogged! After all of the birthday festivities and then a weekend to go and meet our newest nephew, we came home excited for a week of "normal". It was not to be! I took Grant to the doctor for his well child check and things were looking good. He weighed 19 lbs 8 oz, showed our doctor that he was still holding his own without a feeding tube, and we got sent home with a pat on the back! Within about 6 hours, Grant started throwing up. This was the first time we have ever seen Grant really throw up. His Nissen procedure was supposed to prevent him from being able to throw up, so we were surprised when he kept puking absolutely everything up. I figured it was a reaction to his shots, but within a few more hours, he was burning up and violently throwing up...

Our sweet heart friend Mason was given an Easter miracle this morning! He has been waiting for a heart with his mommy in California, far from the rest of their family. The whole family has been together for Easter and his sweet parents, Summer and Mark received this wonderful news last night. Mason is in surgery right now. Please pray for Mason and join with us in celebrating the wonderful Easter day that it is today. Jesus Christ indeed rose from the tomb so many years ago so that we can all be resurrected and live together with our family and loved ones eternally. This miracle again testifies to me that God is a God of miracles. Our prayers are with you Mason as well as the wonderful donor family that are grieving the loss of their own sweet child today.
