A good Day!


The Museum Of Natural History...Top of the Rock.. and lunch @ ESPN zone-- with Hayes and Grace = a very nice NYC day!!!!
Grier had a good day too with Maggie-- They went to Lenny's for takeout... strolled in central park.. and a trip to FAO for another animal!! We may need to book another flight just for the animals we have gotten while we are here- !! All are in the bed with him and a select few get to leave the Ronald and get out and ride in the stroller-
He has eaten some today-- and loves coke ( "brown coke")-- he had one in a glass bottle today-- and was very proud of that--
I would love to post some pictures-- but my battery in my camera was dead!!!-- Of all days for that to happen!!! Oh well-- we had a good time anyway!
The crew leaves in the morning-- we can start cleaning this room-- I will not miss the "camping out" we have been doing for the last couple of weeks-- but being so close to MSKCC is worth living in close quarters with a cooler bag as a fridge!! Someone said when we go home we will have a new appreciation of our house!! I believe that!!!

amy,

I can not tell you how big the smile was on my face after reading tonight's blog. I am delighted that all had a great day...Hayes & Grace with you and Jeff and Grier with Maggie:):):):):) How wonderful that Grier is eating a bit more and now drinking "brown coke!" And a trip to FAO? AWESOME!! Sounds like a fun day at MofNH for the rest...fantastic!

Praying for a great clinic visit on Tuesday and an early departure on Wednesday! Nothing will be better than your own bed...even if all five of you are in it overnight! You'll be surprised to see how the trees are losing leaves and how many yards have new grass growing...a bit of green to be seen here and there. It's been quite lovely here...crisp mornings and beautiful afternoons. Looking forward to having you home!

Sweet dreams to you all...
Love and Prayers,
Dina

So happy that your whole family enjoyed the day! So happy that you and Jeff got to spend time with Grace and Hayes! So happy that Grier and Maggie had a good day! So happy that Grier is beginning to eat and feel like himself! So happy you are one day closer to coming home!!

Boo hoo on the camera battery for all of us out in bloggerland, but your family doesn't need pictures to remember this great day! It will be etched on your hearts forever!

I'm sure it has been a whirlwind and yet endless 3 weeks for you, Jeff, and Grier; however, it seems like there is lots of light at the end of the tunnel for you and it is wonderful to hear of Grier's recovery and his getting stronger each day. Oh what mountains God, family, and friends have helped you fabulous five climb -- you're almost at the top!! Coming HOME will be tops for you all!

Wishes for a safe trip home tomorrow for Grace, Hayes, and Maggie and a restful day for you, Jeff, and Grier as you get ready for Tuesday.

As always, love and prayers for you tonight!

We will pray for good news tomorrow.
As always in our hearts and prayers.

Love the new pics -- thanks for posting them. Grier looks terrific and happy, as do Hayes, Grace, and Maggie. I just realized that we haven't seen any photos of Amy for 3 weeks! We'll just wait to see the real you when you get HOME!!

Looking forward to seeing your post tonight -- hope today was a good one for Grier and that he ate lots and drank another "brown" coke -- is there another color that I don't know about???

Love from me to you 3,

Betty G

Wonderful to hear you all had a good time and that Grier was out and about in NYC! The photos are fabulous: Hayes looks like a native NYer hailing a cab! Grace and Maggie look very appreciative of his company! Hoping to have all the Christenburys together in CHLT soon. :)
