OK so this pic is from Monday but it was handy so I’m using it. The only news we have from today is that we got a little scare with Greyson’s heart today. See his heart rate is starting to drop lower and lower during the night (normal as he gets older). Well lately he has been dipping down under 90 beats per minute. This doesn’t last long before it jumps back up, usually hovering around 100 beats per minute when he is really sleeping. We called the pulmonologist and they said to watch it and count how many times this happens in a night (going under 90). Well our nurse last night actually listened to Greyson when this was happening, and noticed that his heart not only slowed down, but that the rythem changed as well. This didn’t seem quite right. So we called the dr. again today and finally found out that this is normal for kids and everything should be fine. To put all our fears at ease we are seeing the cardiologist on Monday and they will check his heart out and make sure there is nothing wrong (this is not a special appointment, it we were already scheduled to see the cardiologist for his checkup so it works nice that he can see him and further relieve any lingering fears).
So I don’t think I’ve mentioned just how wonderful my wife is, and I definately should! Last weekend she let me participate in the 48 hour film project. This is where you receive a character, line of dialogue, and prop as well as a genre of film on Friday night and then have until Sunday night to turn in a 4-7 minute movie. Sounds easy but it really isn’t, especially if you want to do something good. Anyway Stacy watched Greyson all weekend ( our friday night nurse was sick and couldn’t come, so she only had help on Sat.). Then tonight she let me go to Seattle to watch the film on the big screen with other entries. That is always one of the highlights of doing this competition. Overal our film was one of the better ones we saw. Anyway Stacy is awesome and I greatly appreciate her letting me get out and do stuff like this. I’m waiting for her to want to do something so I can sacrifice for her to go to something fun, but haven’t had the opportunity just yet. So just know that I have one of the best wives of all time and I recognize it! She is even helping me get oriented to my new job (in August I will become the children and family pastor at our church, leaving behind the adult ministry title I have had for the last 3 years as well as the youth ministry title I had for four years before that). Choose your spouse carefully because they can make or break you let me tell you. Thankfully mine makes me look good!
We are glad you have that appointment on Monday. It is always good to hear things really are OK in person. This is Greyson’s way of just keeping you on your toes. You know that little sweetheart will have other things up his sleeves like this along the way but nothing you can’t handle. We pray continually that the time will pass quickly until everything is normal but at the same time don’t want to hurry things along to fast because they grow up so quickly anyway. Looking at this picture of how big Greyson is getting really brings home that message to us. Bob we are happy you did so well on the film. We know how much fun that is for you and Jeff. We know how you love one another but what a blessing to see your praises for your wife in writing for the world to see. Have a wonderful day! As always holding you up in prayer! Kiss Greyson for us and tickle his toes for his Gram. Love you all….
Lizzy and I both agree that Greyson is so cute and that you have a wonderful wife. I tell the grandkids they should praying for their spouses now so that the Lord will have the perfect one for them when the time comes. Actually we think you are both are pretty awesome and together make a great couple and then add Greyson and you have the perfect family. God is so good. I am glad they are going to check everything on Monday. Give Greyson a kiss for us and tell him we love him. It’s Lizzy weekend to spend with me.
Love ya
Grandma Terry and Lizzy
