God never stops amazing us! Not only is Grayson's tumor completely gone--the pathology report is back and it was benign!! No further treatment required! Woo-Hoo! Praise God!
He will require some vision therapy, and probably some physical therapy, but who can't deal with a little therapy?! He is getting back to normal a little every day! We never knew or were told how horrible his initial recovery would be. At first they pumped him full of steroids to bring down the inflammation then after the surgery they are weaning him off the steroids. We have spent some long nights with him screaming and lashing out at himself and others. Biting, kicking, scratching, it was a nightmare! He takes his final dose of the steroids tomorrow and already he is sleeping through the night. This has been an ordeal that has tested us all.
We are all keenly aware of the preciousness and the precariousness of life. My son said he will savor the smell of his children's hair and each smile and laugh, he will remember to kiss them and tell them he loves them every day. That's the message they want to send out to everyone please hold your kids and tell them you love them, look them in the eyes each day and remember what they look like each time you go away from them. We are grateful for every thought and every prayer that went out for him! He has a good bit of recovery yet to go through, but the best is yet to come!
Thank you all,
Kathy
