New Picture!


Gerad has a ‘sticky’ to his name! He is often called Gerad the Grunter by who else but his mom and dad! He grunts when they change him, he grunts when he sleeps, he grunts when they snuggle and he grunts, grunts, grunts. An oh-so-cute grunt!

Last week at his weekly checkup he was 9.8 lbs. Yesterday he was a good 10.2 lbs! He is doing good with only getting his injection twice a day to keep his shunt open. He smiles and smiles a lot. Even at his mom. It is a very cute broad smile. He still spits up and sometimes a lot, but overal he does better all the time.

All along the way the company Marvin works for has been very supportive, allowing as much time off as he needed and so on. This week Marvin and Hannie received a large gift of money from a fundraiser campaign the company had organized and a beautiful blanket for Gerad with his name and date of birth in a big heart shape. The blessings didn’t stop there. You can imagine the cell phone bill that skyrocketed with all the phone calls made during their hospital stay. But God again was gracious, and it took one phone call from Marvin to the phone company asking if something could be done and they dropped the charge to a mere amount!!!!

God is able to make all grace abound toward you.
2 Corinthians 9:8
