We are finally back at the Ronald after a LONG day!! We left before 8 this morning and stayed in the hospital all day-- did some WAITING for a CBC, platelet transfusion and then ran to the harvesting area and made it by noon-- only to wait some more! That last wait made us miss the 3:30 deadline again-- AHHHH! We found out he did not get the magic number of stem cells yesterday so we had to harvest again today-- Probably will not get the magic number today either so we will go back to the donor room at 8:00am on Thursday-- more SHOTS! I thought we would be coming home tomorrow but that does not look like it is going to happen-- We are planning on harvesting on Friday too-- and Corporate Angels does not have any flights as of yet for us! It is hard to give then an exact day when we do not know our own schedule from day to day-- I thought this might be the case-- since it is Christmas and folks are not flying that much right now- Grier did well again today with all these procedures-- When we finally made it outside he was surprised it was dark and raining!
It is crazy around here-- everyone is trying to do the same thing-- Get home before Christmas !!
I decided what I want for Christmas..... the "easy" button on the staples commercial!! That is it for now-- I actually had to sensor this entry since I am linked with Covenant :)--- off to finish laundry and give a shot!

You are amazing. All that you are going thru and you still have a sense of humor. This is why God will be sure to watch over Grier.
I am sorry this has been so frustrating for all of you. They must be so impressed by Grier and his sweet ways.
I hope that you all get some rest. Believe me if I had an easy button to give you would be the only person I would give it to.
Take care and remember you are so close to our hearts,

Oh Amy. So sorry that one obstacle after another is presenting itself. I truely hope you can get home this weekend and come together with the children for some normalcy. YOU and Grier are never far from my thoughts.
AMY AND JEFF,
You always hear that nothing is ever easy, but we would love to send you every "easy button" that exists!
You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers, every day someone ask us about our "pretty" blue and white bracelets. Then of course they get an earful!
Hoping all is well for the weekend.
Keep warm and dry!
much love, Dee and John Braswell
