Anna Grylls update October 9th
We called the GI doc in Columbus Sunday morning, and he assured us that we could get Anna a new GJ-tube that day, much to my surprise – I thought they were pretty much closed for the weekend. So we drove down Sunday morning. When we got there, the nurse told us that they......Read More

Anna Grylls update October 3rd
Anna’s GJ tube fell out last night. I stuck a temporary G-tube in until we can get a new one. The interventional radiologists who have to put a new one in usually take the weekend off, so please pray that she is fine with her food going into her stomach until Monday! Tuesday we have......Read More

Anna Grylls update September 24th
We had a lovely time on vacation in Michigan. It was great to get away and just relax, without the alarm clock going off at 6:51 every morning! Many many many thanks to Jay and Chris for looking after everyone while we were gone. No crises! Well, no big ones, anyway Anna has another......Read More

Ju and Cindy have been here for a week helping us get lots of things done around the house, for which we are very grateful. Lael’s sister Jochebed and her family arrived from......Read More

Anna Grylls update September 6th
Anna has been very alert lately, and trying to interact. For example… she has a mobile that spins above her head in bed, just like a baby crib mobile. We’ll lift up her arm and say “Touch the mobile, Anna!”, and then touch her hand onto the passing animal on the......Read More

Anna Grylls update August 30th
Anna was sleeping very peacefully last night, so I snapped a pic: http:// www.thoughts.com/index.php?_action=photo_view&id=48008 She has an infection at the moment, she’s on Tobramycin yet again. Her dislocated hip seems not to be bothering her at the moment. We found a......Read More

Anna Grylls update August 19th
We went to see the ortho surgeon in Columbus today. I can't explain it as well as she did, but the bottom line is that the hip socket isn't particularly good at holding the femur in place in a two-year-old, as the bones are still developing. It relies on help from the proper......Read More

Anna Grylls update August 15th
We took Anna to the orthopedic doc this morning to check on her back and knees. Her back had been showing a curve, although with a lot of stretching it had been looking a bit better lately. We also asked him about her knees, which don’t bend at all the right way. Lael asked about her......Read More

Anna Grylls update Thursday
Anna is doing just fine at the moment. She had an “official” oxygen test the other night, and of course passed, so today all her oxygen equipment will be taken away. By faith, it will never return! She is moving more while she sleeps – a couple nights ago, she rolled from......Read More
