As most people know (thanks, Facebook) our little baby, Greyson, got very very sick about a month ago. He went to bed with a fever, and woke up the next morning paralyzed on the right side of his body. After a very intense ER visit at Jordan Valley Hospital, an ambulance ride, and eight days at Primary Children's Hospital, he finally came home.
The final diagnosis: viral encephilitis. In layman's terms, he got a cold virus that worked it's way into his brain. Not too common, but it can happen to anybody. The last month has been full of new milestones. The physical therapy (large motor skills) and occupational therapy (fine motor skills) have helped a lot, and Greyson is recovering at an incredible rate. He finished all his long term physical therapy goals in one month!!! We have plenty of pictures and stories to tell from the whole experience, and soon they will be assembled in a wonderful slideshow/movie. Can't wait to post it!
Greyson, you're my hero!
