Hey everybody!!
This is so exciting...
Grayson has been adopted by the ALABAMA BASEBALL TEAM!!! 
He was actually adopted back in the Spring, but the official ceremony
Will be this weekend!! he will be an official little brother of the University of Alabama Baseball Team!!!
Most ALL of you know that Grayson is my grandson who was diagnosed 2 years ago with a brain tumor...
There is an organization that matches sports teams with brain tumor children and Gray was matched with Alabama!

He is excited, he says they are his brothers! Sweet bunch of guys on that team...If he gets his own little uniform I'll post a picture of it!! We will go to Tuscaloosa this weekend for the ceremony!

As you may know the little munchkin turned 4 on Sept. 15th..Keep him in your prayers, he has an appointment with a new neurologist in Birmingham in Dec. and  an MRI coming up in Jan..We're praying that things are still progressing toward complete healing! The surgeon told us that any change in the tumor would show up in the MRI long before he has any symptoms so far, so good! That type of tumor has only a slight chance of regrowth...They also told us that each year out from the surgery we get the less likely there will be for regrowth of the tumor! We are coming up on 2 years in about a week!! He has had seizures, but they are being pretty well controlled by medication...They are called vacant seizures or absence seizures...he doesn't have much sign that he's having one...you have to know what to look for to even know it's happening! He is in every sense of the word a normal 4 year old...and he's way up on the growth charts! God is good!! \o/
