Night #9 Update

Yup! Grayson is still in the hospital. The children and Grandma Fredda came up with me to bring Grayson home tonight. However, when we arrived we were informed Grayson had a fever and would not be going home tonight. He was very disappointed and so were we.

We brought Grayson a McDonald's happy meal and he was happy to eat the fries.



He is still not eating much but enjoyed the fries. Shortly after this Dr. Hadley (Dr. Wallace's resident) came to fix his stint drain. It was constantly coming out and was not working well. Grayson was very apprehensive about getting this tube fixed because it would require a stitch in his belly to hold the tube in place. But in the end it all went well. It is working much better than the previous drain and he is feeling so much better now.

We went for a walk. Here is Grayson walking outside his room.



Once his walk was done we took everyone downstairs to find the tile in the wall which Grayson and I painted during his last hospital stay. They gave children an opportunity to paint a tile, which was later fired, and placed in the wall decorations of the Neurosurgery Unit on the second floor.

Grayson also received some mail which we brought from home. One was a letter from his Grandma Stewart. She sent him a love/get well note on a paper airplane. Here he is trying it out.



My Aunt Sharon and Uncle John Beck were here visiting after attending the Salt Lake Temple. It was so nice to visit with them. John helped me give Grayson a blessing to help him get better for the release from the hospital tomorrow.

Kevin and Merica Chapple and family also visited Grayson today.


We visited the nice patio on the 3rd floor and enjoyed some outside time together.

On our stroll we went to the "tube", a walkway from Primary Children's to the Moran Eye Center. Here we saw over the Salt Lake Valley and witnessed the start of a great sunset.



Hopefully tomorrow morning we can bring Grayson home. It would make for a great Friday!

Have a great evening!
