Randomness: towers and chicks (2 kinds)

Just a couple of things I thought I would share...

Greyson LOVE building tall towers with his "Yegos" (you know, Legos) especially if he needs to climb on the chair to help make them taller.

Greyson and Mira are getting to be good friends. He likes to go see her and I can coax him into the stroller with a promise that we are going to see Chanti and Mira. This was them watching the iGuy (iPad) together on the sofa. He even put his arm around her with his hand on her shoulder and was so sweet.

We recently went to a county fair. Of course we visited the petting zoo. They had a ton of baby chicks and he wanted to pick one up himself. Have to say that I was a bit nervous he might squeeze one a bit too hard but all 3 were returned safe and sound.

A New Bike for G: Strider

We chose to get Greyson a balance bike to get him started. The idea is that he isn't ready for pedals yet but he can work on learning the other skills needed to ride a bike (steering & balance) so he might as well give it a go. He LOVES it and his new watermelon helmet.

Friday Appointments and More

Entertained in the waiting room (yes he lined up the "dogs")

So sorry it took me so long to get this posted today. It was a longer day than expected at the hospital and then I thought we were headed to the room for a nap and Greyson decided he didn't need one ;)

Waiting for his turn with the iPad (iGuy) and Daddy.

Sclero went well. Dr. Shields treated a lot of small cysts in his chest, behind his collar bone, and upper are. There is really only one larger cyst left in his elbow that will be taken care of in October when Dr. Spaeth works on his elbow, wrist, and hand. Greyson was a bit upset when he woke up and really wanted something to drink but he got through that fairly quickly.

We saw Dr. Spaeth later this afternoon to talk about progress and future plans. We should have dates for October sclero and surgery soon. Everyone is very pleased with Greyson's progress and how great his scar looks. He was a great patient and had fun picking out 2 stickers.

Chloe and Greyson - Sorry he is blurry...this boy never sits still.

We made friends with a family I had friended on Facebook (there daughter's LM is VERY similar to Greyson's and she is just a year older). We had a nice time visiting with them while the kids played here at RMH and we sat by them at dinner.

Such an amazing place.

After dinner we toured the new hospital lobby which is awesome. Then we headed to get some ice cream and walked around a park in German Village.

Jeni's is the BEST!

We are heading out tomorrow afternoon and should be home tomorrow night. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Sclero Tomorrow

We are finally here after some delays, diversions, and circling all thanks to Mother Nature. We plan to head from the Columbus airport to RMD house and settle in.

Greyson's sclero is at 10:30am tomorrow and should only take an hour. He has an appointment with Dr. Spaeth at 1pm. We will update everyone then. Hope getting off this plane goes quickly. ;)
