Greetings, Hope this letter finds you all well this Holiday Season. I can't believe it has been almost two months since we checked in with everyone about Greyson but since he hasn't had any doctors appointments we didn't have anything major to share. "Buddy" has continued to shrink a little more in the front and under his arm from the sclero-therapy. The spots in his hand and arm seem to be a tiny bit bigger but it hasn't seemed to slow him down any.
Greyson continues to get physical therapy and visits from a special instructor to make sure he is staying on track developmentally. He is still scheduled to have surgery at Children's Mercy on January 27. We expect he'll stay in the hospital a few days but we aren't sure. We hope he will get to stay in a regular room so we can stay with him. I will keep everyone posted with his progress through this page during surgery and recovery.
Greyson is doing just perfect and keeping Michael and I hopping. We have gotten into a great routine and Greyson is developing faster than ever. He grows and changes daily. To catch you up, he is almost 8 months old (on the 7th of January), he weighs a bit over 18 pounds, and is more than 27 inches long. He is smiling all the time and laughs with and at Michael the most. He loves to stand up with one of us holding him and is just now beginning to sit on his own and play with toys tipping over occasionally. He rolls onto his belly a lot from his back and can pivot around. He is now figuring out how to roll over "buddy" and is working on getting back to his back. He is a great eater - eating lots of vegetables and fruits but not really enjoying meat yet. He has started to learn to eat finger foods with a little more texture and is trying to drink from a cup but we have a long way to go.
On this Christmas Day we are reminded about all the family and friends that have kept Greyson in their thoughts and prayers and we wanted to thank you all and wish you the Merriest of Christmases and the Happiest of New Years. We appreciate you all and count ourselves very lucky to have you on Greyson's support team. We look forward to seeing and hearing from you soon.
We love you,
Brooke, Michael, and Greyson
