Another Higgins Runner

We have a runner on our hands...



Michael and G worked on this forever the other night and I get to share their hard work. :) And by the way, the whining at the end was because he wanted to see himself on the phone.

Welcome to This Boy's Adventures

For our CarePages followers, we are excited that you have decided to check out Greyson's new blog. As I mentioned in the last CarePages update, I have been looking for another option that is more flexible and allows  bit more creativity and control and a Blogger blog seems to be the answer for now.

There are a few changes I thought I might point out... The most important one to me was that Blogger allows visitors to subscribe by email. This is different because instead of just being told their is a new Update (what a new story is called in CarePages) in an email it will actually email you the new Post (what a new story is called in Blogger). All you have to do is find the "Follow By Email" text field in the top right corner and enter your email address.


Other cool things you may want to look for are the Blog Archive, Picasa Photostream, and a search feature (top left corner). I will tag all health related posts with an LM so if that is what you are interested in reading then all you would have to search for would be the initials LM and that should bring up all posts related to Greyson's Lymphatic Malformation.

All 96 Carepages posts have been transferred to here but due to constraints on the CarePages site we can not transfer comments. All updates, comments, and Gallery items will stay on the Carepages site and I will not be deleting any of the content.

The goal for this blog is to add more posts and pictures about ALL things Greyson and not just the health related happenings. If you are interested in keeping up with us then we invite you to come back as often as you like. If not we understand and thank you for all your support up to now.

Happy New Year 2012


Greetings to all of our friends and family that follow Greyson's Carepages site. We hope that you had a wonderful holiday filled with relaxation and good times and wish you a happy 2012.

Things are still going great here with Greyson. He is doing quite well and was even dismissed from Occupational Therapy right before Christmas. The OT said that if she didn't know what to look for she wouldn't know that anything was any different with him than any other kid.

Greyson is growing like a weed and doing so much these days. He has lots of words in his vocabulary (his favorite today is Bubba, my dad's horses name) and he has also started repeating lots of words that we say. I figured that out one day when I said "crap". Guess we have to watch that now. He is on the run most of the time and likes to spin, "dance", and do somersaults (with help from us). One of his favorite things to do now is to hide. He got some tents for Christmas that we have set up in his room and he runs and hides in them and then calls to "Mommy" or "Daddy" to come find him.

He is scheduled for an MRI and Ultrasound on Feb. 8. They are checking to see if anything has come back. We will send the images to his doctors at Nationwide Hospital. We are hopeful, but if needed we will head back to Columbus and take care of things. He will still have another surgery to take care of the spots of lymphatic tissue in his hand and arm, but that won't be until maybe late next year.

Thank you again for all the support. We will send an update after we get the results of the tests in February. Take care.

Brooke, Michael, and Greyson
