Anna Grylls update Saturday midnight
The wedding was awesome! I have rarely seen a bride and groom glowing quite like they were. The hospital basically picked up 12 hours of overtime for two nurses so we could both attend, for which we are very grateful. Apparently Anna had a good day, Praise God! More......Read More

Anna Grylls update Sunday 9pm
We had fun with the children here today, although it turns out that 7 people in a hospital room is quite a lot… Both Bliz and I predicted that Bubba would last 15 minutes max, but thanks to a big bag of Hershey’s Kisses, it was probably 45 minutes before it was time to go......Read More

Anna Grylls update Monday 9pm
I do enjoy sleeping. Friday night, Annie B slept until 2am, but the rest of the night she largely rested fairly peacefully, so I was able to get some sleep. Saturday night she slept until about 3:30am, but last night she went to sleep at 11:00pm and woke up at 12:45am, wide......Read More

Anna Grylls update Wednesday 9pm
The neurologist came today! Praise God! He seemed very experienced and knowledgeable, and I think it was worth the wait. Anna is starting on some valium tonight to try to help her relax more. The dose is real low, so it may not even have any effect. ......Read More

Anna Grylls update Thursday 10pm
I put another video up online: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-703003967754542286&pr=goog-sl I got an email from Fed-Ex yesterday, saying that a package had shipped to me from my work in Albuquerque. I then got another email this morning saying that the......Read More

Anna Grylls update Friday 10pm
Busy day. Suddenly everyone is gunning for us to be leaving on Tuesday, so every therapist, nurse, doctor etc. is trying to make sure we've been trained on everything. Considering how many things still need to come together, it seems slightly bizarre to think it could all be worked......Read More

Anna Grylls update Saturday 10pm
We saw some real progress today with Anna's lungs, trach, breathing etc. Yesterday she coughed once (we weren't sure if it was a sneeze or a cough, now I'm thinking it was probably a cough), and today she coughed another three times or more. May not seem like a big deal, but these are......Read More

Anna Grylls update Sunday 11pm
Lael and I both got to go to church today in Logan, which was an absolute blessing. I always love communion and foot-washing. Bro. Jeff preached on adoption. I came back to the hospital and pronounced a new, fully-functioning brain cell for every one of Anna’s that......Read More

Anna Grylls update Monday 11pm
Anna was on the IV fluids all day today, but started back on formula just now. By the end of the night she should be back on full formula, and off the IV. She did pretty well today on reduced clonidine, so she’s going to be weaned off it. PLEASE PRAY that she......Read More

Anna Grylls update Tuesday 10pm
Anna had about 6 hours of sleep last night, straight through! Praise God!! She also had a good nap this afternoon!! Lael gave her some syrup on her tongue today, and her eyes opened wide as she tasted it. It may not seem like much, but for her to sense something......Read More
