Before & After, Plus A Prayer Request

*********UPDATE*********

Grayson will be going in for a EEG tomorrow morning/afternoon. He will have to be sedated and will be admitted because the medicine they use to sedate him is not good for children as young as he is. This test will show if he has in fact been having seizures. They will not have the results for 5 days, but I will keep everyone updated.

First I want to start out with the prayer request. I really wish you all would pray for my nephew, Grayson. He is my only nephew on my side. He is 9 months old. It seems like ever since he has gotten teeth, that he has been grinding them and biting his tongue. For a while, he was biting his tongue so bad that he was actually biting pieces out of it. It finally got really infected and was turning black. He was put on medication, but ended up being allergic to it. My sister brought him in and the Dr.s were confused and referred her to a ear, nose, and throat specialist. He of course didn't know anything and tried to call lots of his specialist friends. That leads us to today. Today while in nursery, it seems that Grayson stopped breathing and had a seizure. He was gievn two rescue breathes and came to. He was very lethargic after and rested for a bit. My sister and her hubby brought Grayson to the ER tonight. They think he has been having seizures all along at night, but is only noticeable now because he is biting his tongue when it happens. They did a CAT scan, which he didn't even need to be sedated for! It came back normal. They also did blood work and the only thing that showed up was elevated liver numbers. He is home now, but is being referred to a neurologist and further tests will be done to find the reason for the elevated liver numbers. Anyway, please pray for him and mom and dad. It's never easy to hear that something could be seriously wrong with your child. Here is a recent pic of him:




Ok, since you guys asked so nicely, here are my before and after pics. The first one was taken at my sister's baby shower in July of last year. The second was taken a couple of days ago. Neither of them is posed, obviously, I just found some that would work. So, when you look at the pictures, please remember that I still have a long way to go! I was very big to start with, and now I am getting smaller. :) So, that being said, I still have my spare tire around the middle, but it is shrinking! I also got a haircut a couple of days ago. Anyway, here are the pics. I tried to get them to be side by side, but I couldn't. For some reason all my things that were on the side of my blog have been moved to the bottom too, and I can't figure out what happened. Any help would be appreciated! Here are the pics (remember, the first one is "before" and the second is the "after" pic.):
