Grier got a pint of blood today-- and from 9:30- 3:00-- must have asked me 1000 times if he was done yet!!! He did not even fall asleep after benadryl--
We met a cute little girl in the transfusion room today-- she was doing her 5th grade work while Grier was crashing his car into the wall, coloring pictures, watching Einsteins, and playing with Playdoh-- I am telling you this because September is Children's cancer awareness month-- and before Grier was diagnosed I knew of a few kids that fought this fight but now we know so many-- This link was something I saw on a caringbridge site and thought it was worth sharing-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGS4yE5v9rM
No other news to share-- Grier is napping after a long day at the clinic-- Entertaining the nurses makes him tired!!!
This picture was taken this weekend of Henry and Grier-- Henry is the Holy Trinity middle schooler that wanted to help Grier so he came up with an idea to sell popsicles during their field day last Spring-- Henry sold a lot of popsicles and gave Grier a nice gift! Thanks Henry for your thoughtfulness---!

Amy,
Better to nap now than not nap at all! Sorry for a very long day for both you and Grier. I was delighted to talk to you today.
We are anxious to hear about Grier's upcoming surgery and where you all might land...planes, trains & automobiles! We're here for you no matter your needs!
Looking forward to catching up with you IN PERSON as soon as we find our Fall schedule beginning Friday. Enjoy your tokens...use each one to the fullest and please don't hesitate to call on me!
Love & Prayers...

Did anyone else notice that every precious child in that video was smiling? Thank you, Amy, for sharing the video on Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and if for nothing else, making us stop and appreciate what a blessing our children are and helping us remember that they are only ours for such a short time and that we need to cherish the moments. We support you and will walk beside you on October 13 in honor of Grier at the Hopebuilders 5K. Your family is an inspiration and you are so selfless in taking time to remind us that Grier is not the only child suffering and that we all need to work for a cure for all children and all types of cancers. I encourage you all to write your legislators and to sponsor Amy and her team in the Hopebuilders 5K.
Amy!
What a sweet video of Grace and Grier (and Hayes' backside! :)) Still praying for the perfect surgeon and for everything to line up for your precious Grier. Thanks for making me tear up and smile and pray a special thanks for all that we(I) take for granted.
Love you all!
Hannah and crew...
I am glad Grier got to nap. How about you? Sorry it was such a long day.
Am praying that soon you will know where the surgery will be. Get some rest and remember as always we are thinking of you and praying for you.
Love,The Paine's
Amy,
We so look forward to seeing you all back at church for Covenant Connection, choir and basketball when you all can get here!
We are praying for you and your family!
Love
Anne
Thinking of you all each and every day!

Hey -
Thanks for sharing the video - wow, very powerful. Loved seeing the baseball video. Grace and Grier share my kids skill for remembering lyrics ... Who does know the lyrics to "Take me to the ball game???" We are thinking about you. The Steffens
Amy,
As always, your accounts of what your days consist of make me be a better mom - indirectly. The patience that you must have is unfathomable to me, but hopefully I manage a few more ounces of it for my girls when I think of you. Your journey is such an inspiration and a lesson on life's blessings. The videos you shared only reiterated that point, as I am still wiping my swollen eyes as I type.
I look forward to hearing the good news about Grier's surgery and learning what we might be able to do to support you, Jeff, Grace and Hayes so that all of your focus can be on Grier.
Congratulations on exceeding your goal for the walk. I wish you very comortable shoes :-)
Best to you all,
Tracy Barnett
Hi Amy,
Just wanted you to know that I have been thinking of you and hope you are doing well. I hope Hayes and Grace are settled in school and enjoying it. I think of Grier everyday when I walk into First Pres and cannot wait to see him back there.
I pray for you everynight.
Love,
Mary Ellen Paine
I'm seriously getting worn out of the whole set of trackback spam that my site is getting. There's a
billion plugins іt ωould seеm, and I have nо сlue which οnе would be goοd for this, or even if I've seen all of the plugins that will help me get rid of this. So quick question - what plugin could you advise to get rid of trackback spam? I nonetheless prefer to get comments, but this other stuff is driving me nuts.
