I could have never imagined yesterday that this could be possible today. What a difference a day makes! Graysen is the toughest, most determined little thing I've ever seen. She's amazing and ready to move this process along.
Here is Graysen walking for the first time after surgery. What incredible progress! It has been a good day.
Your prayers are working, so please keep them coming. We are thankful beyond words.
Graysen has wanted to play the game "Pits and Peaks" with us, while she is lying in her hospital bed. The way you play is everyone goes around and shares their Pit of the day (the worst part) and their Peak (the best part). This is Graysen's Young Life Campaigner group's favorite game to play, which they did almost every Wednesday night when they met.
Today when we played, everyone in the room said that Graysen walking was their Peak. Except Graysen. She informed us that the walking may not have been as fun for her as it was for us! Her Peak was her sweet nurse, Tiffany.
She was also just completely thrilled and touched to receive flowers, cards, a turtle ballon, a fruit basket, a letter in the mail from a sweet friend, and various other gifts throughout the afternoon. It made her day!
She also asked us read all of the sweet and supportive messages everyone has been sending through texts, emails, twitter, instagram, and Facebook.
Graysen has felt so loved and cared for by all of you, and by her family who is here with her in person, helping her through this trial.
It really means the world to her that she doesn't have to go through this alone.
Unfortunately, the Pit has come now that it's evening. Graysen has walked twice. They have removed one of her IVs and several other things that were making it easier for her. She has had her breathing treatments increased and O2 line decreased. They have reduced and changed her pain meds. They have rolled her from her back, to her side, back and forth, several times.
The pain has caught up with her from a very busy, strenuous day. She is tired. Please pray for a restful night.
