Not sure why but I can\u2019t seem to rotate this picture. So everyone turn your head sideways today.
\nGreyson had a great night and has not required oxygen since yesterday morning (Sunday). He continues to suffer from a bit of withdrawls as the narcotics get completely out of his body. So he has not been very active, playful, or frankly happy yet. That said we did get a couple smiles out of him today and he is continuing to slowly get back to himself.
\nHis vocal cords remained paralyzed but his surgeon came in today and looked at them (to do this he sticks a camera up Greyson\u2019s nose while he\u2019s awake with no medicine, Greyson was not a Dr. Boseley fan today!). We were all encouraged by the fact that their seemed to be some movement. At this point everyone is hoping that Greyson\u2019s vocal cords will \u201cawaken\u201d on their own, although it is not uncommon for this to take up to a few months). We are praying God will touch them and he will soon be using his voice to praise God for his good work in his life.
\nSo the plan is for us to hang out at the hospital for one more night, then head for home in the morning! Our only concern now will be that Greyson\u2019s risk of aspiration will be higher due to the fact that his vocal cords do not close and open as he breaths or swallows. This means his airway is not as protected as it would be if they were functioning normally.
\nAnyway we are so grateful for the prayers that people are offering on Greyson\u2019s behalf, we serve a mighty God who is not alarmed by this \u201ccomplication\u201d. We know that the God who began a good work in Greyson\u2019s life will be faithful to carry it to completion. Greyson is God\u2019s child and we rest comfortably (though at times with a little bit of anxiety) knowing God is at work in his life and body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
