On the Road Again....

I can just hear Willie now....

Yes, we hit the road again this week in search of a more desirable care for Grady and his Diabetes.

So, last Thursday, we headed to Pensacola to Nemour's at Sacred Heart Hospital.

Grady, Grant and I left Panama City very early... our appointment was at 9am.

Grady slept the entire way, which was good and Grant chatted my ear off.

We were very excited and impressed with the Doctor and Nurses.

They were very interested in all things GRADY!!!

The Doctor recommended that Grady be admitted to the hospital for observation, testing and education.

So, after I was able to get in touch with Dat Dat, we decided that was the best thing to do.

However, we had to wait for a room to open up.

So, after a quick trip to Target...

We headed to...

Yes, I know, not the best of choices, but we were in a hurry.

Grady enjoyed his "pickle burger" and he and Grant had a great time at the playground.

Then we were headed back to Sacred Heart.

We got all "checked in" and then the waiting game began.

So we went to the pediatric play room.

We played with puzzles...

We colored....

and yes, we did all the other medical requirements as well.

Grady only had to spend one night..

... and really, he slept pretty well.

Even through the 2am blood sugar check.

We were finally able to leave on Friday evening and made it back to Panama City around 9:30pm.

By the way, a big THANK YOU to Grammie and Dada, who arrived from Tampa on Thursday into the whirlwind that is our life!

They were able to get Todd from Dat Dat and watch him for the evening so that Dat Dat could go to another meeting he needed to be at and then drive to Pensacola to get Grant from me.

We really appreciate all the help and prayers... keep 'em coming!

At this time, Grady seems pretty good.

Again, his pancreas is still producing some insulin, but it is only a matter of time until there is no more.

We are taking it day by day.

Needless to say, his world has been turned completely upside down.

We are so proud of him and his brothers have been great champions for him!
