watch out-i bite:)

well-where to begin. these past two weeks have been challenging to say the least. grayson ended up catching everything. as bad as it is was God had a neat way of taking care of us. i always enjoy seeing how God works-usually in ways we would have never have guessed.i finally took him to the doc mon after alot of consideration(our insurance is not yet active)and he had brochillitis?sp. we had to pay for the visit but God helped us out. the med(albutoral) he needed for his breathing treatments were the same as my sister had. she also had an extra breathing machine.by friday he was just getting worst so i took him back. they had originally thought he had viral bronciolitis but it turned out it was bacterial.he also had a double ear infection with swollen tonsils and very pusy throat. they ended up wanting to put him in the hos to keep a close eye on things. i talked them into letting me take him home and see if i could get him hydrated. they immediately gave him an antibiotic(zithromax)and also wanted him on a steriod for his lungs which i would give with his breathing treatments plus the albutoral. he now is getting breathing treatments every 2-3 hours.the steriod costs around $200. my sisters kids have that as well, but they get a stronger dose, but for some reason(God) the last perscription they wrote her was the same dose grayson needed. a dose the girls had never been on. that was really neat but is does not stop there. on monday i knew graysons left ear was not better. i did not really want to take him back as we now have $300 worth of visits. my sister had to have her kids seen so i decided to go with her and hope the girl who saw grayson might be there and take a peek at him. when we got there she was there, but on the well side so she was not seeing any sick patients. we went in and jonathan was going to see stacys kids. we were waiting and in walked margo. i was sooooo surprised. she said she just had 2 cancelations and decided to come and see if they needed help. what an awesome blessing. she checked grasyon(without charging me anything) and ended up puting him on yet another med. we are now waiting to see. i just had to share all the little blessings(some might say luck, but i know better.) in the middle of my stressful week. anyways we are haning in there.oh yeah in the middle of all this he got both his bottom front teeth. he is such a champ. here are his weeklys.


lastly is a few picts. graysons older cousin who he adores loves to play with lincoln logs.boy was grayson excited when he got his hands on them

I love his 27 week pics! It really was awesome to see God put things in place for you guys, and I'm glad he saw fit to use me to help my precious nephew! I hope he gets better soon. He really is a tough little guy and he's still smiling after all that. Hang in there!

Just wanted to say that I enjoyed the pictures of Grayson. He's so handsome and I'm glad everything worked out and he's starting to feel a little better! With you for a Mom he'll be back to himself in no time! (hopefully) You're so great with him--I think that's why he such a happy little guy! I never knew someone that little could bring that much joy!
