Hey Guys,
I just got off the phone with Dad and Reese is out of surgery and everything went ok. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. She should be able to go home this afternoon.
I just got back from Baptist myself for all the pre-op stuff. I'm going to have my last surgery next Wed. at 12:00.
Roll Tide this weekend and we'll talk later.

Godd Morning Folks,
Hope everone is having a great morning. How about those Troy Trojans. They sure looked pretty good last night.
We think they are going to try to get Reese in around noon. Everybody down there got a good nights sleep and they are doing well this morning. I will keep you guys posted.
I hope everything went well with the Troy Club kick-off party last night.
I'll talk soon.

Heys Guys,
For once I really get to give you guys an update.
Reese woke up in the midde of the night last night with some bad pains and to make a long story short. She is in the hospital in Fairhope and is going to have her gallbladder removed tomorrow in the morning. Mom and Dad are down there and I am back in Montgomery. We will see what tomorrow brings and I'll update the blog when I know something. They currently have her pain managed and she got some sleep this afternoon.
Everything is fine on my end. Hope all is well with you.

Hey Guys,
Wow. I kinda have a lot to talk about. First, today is the 6 month anniversary of my accident. It really doesn't seem like its been that long. Next, today was the first day at rehab that I did not use a platform walker at all to walk. I used a regular walker and a cane. Rehab was very good today and I am feeling so much better.
Now for the BIG news. I went to see "The Big Man" today, Dr. V. We have scheduled my last surgery for next Wednesday. This entails "the tummy tuck" and reversing the ostomy. We are so excited because this will make everything a whole lot better for DeAnn and myself. It means I'm free to take showers every night and really get on the road to recovery. The only downside to this is it will keep me from rehab for 4-6 weeks, but this is a must. We are planning a beach trip this weekend, so that will give us all a great break before we do all of it again.
I found out this morning that Trae and Keli Bryan's son Ben is in the hospital with a virus so please pray for him when you can. They hope he can go home in a couple of days.
Football season is upon us and that will make my stay at beautiful Baptist South a little easier. I hope everybody is having a great week.

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you know today is our 1st Anniversary. I am married to the best person in the world and I cannot say enough about how sweet and beautiful she is. We had a great, but wet weekend just like everybody else.
Uncle Daniel came up and took me to therapy. It sure made the time pass by pretty quick with all the comedy. We were supposed to have a Dr. appt., but it was moved due to the weather. We had a fun day and he even got back to Elba early. Thanks Unc for your help.
I hope everybody stay dry this weekend.

Yeah, I know this is a rarity. However, this is a special occasion.
Today 58 years ago Kenneth Neil Grantham was brought into this world by Neil and Agnes Marler Grantham. Most of you know how lucky Reese and I are to be able to call him Dad. This guy has taken me to more things in 25 years than most people go to in a lifetime. At different times I have been to Augusta National, the World Series, Talladega, or Yankee Stadium. At each of these locations I have been able to give him a hug and say thanks for all he has done. Those memories are priceless and given the events of 6 months ago, it makes them that much more special. Reese and I have always been taken care of by Mom and Dad and have such great relationships with both.
The coolest thing is that I would follow him anywhere in the world just to say I was with him. He has given me so many things that money can buy, but even more that money couldn't touch. I'm so grateful I can call him and ask questions or get advice and not be judged.
I am so lucky that I get to call him my peer, my friend, my HERO, but the thing that makes me the luckiest guy in the world is that I get to call Kenneth Grantham DAD..
Happy Birthday Big Guy. Reese, DeAnn and I Love You so much. I hope you have a good one.

Good Morning Guys and Gals,
OK I get the point. I need to keep up with this better. I I just got back from rehab and it is still going well. Wow, my stamina and recovery time have improved so much. We are actually working just with a cane in the parallel bars. This is getting so much better, but it is still so very hard.
Yesterday Mom and I so Mrs. Susan, "Miss" Sue's Daughter, she scolded me and told me I was the worst blogger ever. I agreed after laughing. She said her mother and sweet, sweet, sister are doing well.
As most of you know, this weekend is our anniversary weekend. We were going to take it easy anyway, but with the storm coming we are surely going to relax. I hope everybody fares well. We need some rain, but not 20 inches. Thanks for reading and I'll try to do better.
