Anna Grylls update Wednesday 8pm
So, Anna is doing just fine after her trach operation! Lord willing, around 9 or 10pm tonight they will take her off the ventilator completely! She is doing better at holding our hand, and at responding to touch on her feet. It is so wonderful to hold her hand! The doc.......Read More

Anna Grylls update Thursday 1pm
Anna came off the ventilator last night about 11pm. Praise God! She is doing fine breathing on her own. She is on a small amount of oxygen (30%) still, but they expect to wean her off that as well in time. She's just continuing to get stronger. Lael got to hold her......Read More

Addison didn't get to go home today. She's not doing so well on reduced medications, and right now the docs don't seem to know what's going on. Pray for divine wisdom for the docs, complete healing for Addy, and patience and encouragement for her parents. Please also pray for......Read More

Anna Grylls update Friday 12noon
Anna had a rough night last night. Seems that she's getting a lot of reflux at the moment, which was coming up into her lungs. It was continually spewing out of her trach tube, which was making it very difficult for her to breathe. She's doing a bit better this morning, but her......Read More

Anna Grylls update Friday 7pm
Anna got her G-tube put in early this afternoon, the operation was done bedside and went very well. They basically shone a light down into her stomach and punched a hole through to where the light shone brightest under her skin. So now she has a tube attached to her upper left belly,......Read More

Anna Grylls update Saturday 8am
Annie B had a GREAT night. She... Opened her eyes for the first time in over a week! MOVED her eyes, for the first time since we've been here! Cried, with tears and whimpering, first time since we've been here! Made a noise through her nose (I mean a noise which sounded......Read More

Anna Grylls update Saturday 11pm
So, I sat with Anna almost all day, from around 8am this morning until just now. Guess what she did... ...sleep. All day. No responses whatsoever. I confess a slight disappointment... :) But it was wonderful to spend the day with her. She started on......Read More

Anna Grylls update Sunday 10am
Anna had a peaceful night. She had another blood transfusion, as her haemoglobin was low. She looks much better now - her cheeks are rosy again! All Praise to God for sending us wise counsel who recommended we ask the doctors about that very issue - sure enough, it needed......Read More

Anna Grylls update Sunday 11pm
We had a rough day for much of the day today - I always find it tough not going to church on Sunday, especially when it's been almost 3 weeks now... Then the Lord sent us wonderful visitors in the evening who were uplifting and encouraging. They took us out to eat (yes, we......Read More

If you happen to be reading this tonight, please pray for Anna right now. Apparently she had a fine day, but then this evening her heart-rate went real low, her breathing went low, and her temperature went down. The nurses are warming her up, and right now she's back to......Read More
