update #2

He has made the incision and Grier is stable-- Nothing has been removed yet- Next update around 5pm-
Jeff went back to the Ronald-- he wanted to take the stroller back-- so it is me ad my mac sitting here in the very busy waiting room-

Grier's biggest complaint today was taking off his Lightning McQueen PJ's to put on a circus hospital gown!!!

Thanks for all the prayers so far-- we feel at peace sitting here- and know this had to happen and it turned out to be better sooner than later-

Amy and Jeff,
More prayers than you realize are lifted up to you today. We had a moment of prayer for you today at MP Meth preschool.

May God wrap his mighty arms around you all and precious Grier today. May he guide the skilled hands of your surgeon. May he bring you peace.

Much love,
Cindy Nicholson and family

We have been thinking of you all during this day and have been praying for God to guide the surgeon's hand, for you and your family to find peace and comfort and for Grier to be in God's hands during surgery and in recovery.

All our love,

Amy and Jeff, you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. The girls and I happened to be in the car at noon today and we all said a special prayer for Grier and for the surgeon. As I read your blog, I am truly amazed by your strength. What a gift to all of us who are wondering about you and Grier.
With love,
Tracy, James, Evelyn, Cecile and Marguerite

The Norvell household has been thinking of you all day. The kids are full of questions and are amazed at Grier's strength. Lunch conversation turned to Grier's amazing ability to hit a baseball - Shields is in awe! We know that God is with the Doctor and his entire team and hoping you are getting news as often as possible. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and information with all of us. Your ability to let us all in your thougths and paint a picture of what you are going through is so generous. Thank you.

Daphne, Killian, Carter, Shields and Mac
