We have a plan!

We have ended yet another CRAZY week--- I know... 3 kids makes most weeks hectic!

Grier and I will fly out Sunday night-- thanks to Corporate Angels again! We should get to the Ronald by 9pm-- Jeff and the kids will stay here so they can finish up school, go to their awards day, swim and just begin summer vacation! We do not have a flight scheduled to come back to Charlotte -- but I am hoping to come back Saturday or Sunday-- Grier always gets excited about going to " NEW YORK CITY"-- he has made his pile of what he is going to take-- "grey" cat is on top! Occasionally, he will asks-- "why" are we going to NY again? And I tell him we have to get some medicine to keep you healthy-- and he says ... what kind? And I tell him the kind you get when you hold the "blue tube" (oxygen tube!) every day at the hospital! And he says--"OK"- Our first roommate called 3F8 the "hurt medicine"--She is a little older-- and looked forward to each morning... getting the "hurt medicine"--That is how routine this therapy is to the kids- and the fact that Dilaudid must be a great drug! I am sure as he gets older he will not be happy with my simple explanation of what kind of medicine--

Monday might be the longest day ever-- we are doing something a little different-- we are going to be on the afternoon schedule for 3F8--- it just means we will have to be at the hospital @ 12:15-- instead of 8:30--- Mondays are always long due to waiting for tests and recovery time and we usually leave around 4-5 so who knows what time we will finish when we start well after 1pm!

I think a lot of people loved the lemonade stand idea--- I think I like it the best because it empowers kids to help--- and the funds actually go to a children's cause--- A lot of times kids are raising money for adult causes---! The website is great-- you should take a look at it if you have time- There will be a stand on our street-- sometime this summer---! Grace loves to sell lemonade!

That is it for now-- We have a busy and HOT day planned at the ball field-- and I have to pack a little too--! I am hoping that NYC is not as HOT but I have been told not to count on it--- those buildings and all that concrete hold the heat !!!!

**ALSO** Lots of GGG T's are being spotted around town--- and I am enjoying hearing where and who was wearing them!! A huge THANKS to Arboretum Pediatrics--- I hear they all wear theirs on Friday at the office!!! There are a FEW extras in most sizes--- if you want one email Kerri-- rnorwood@comporium.net -- They will not be reordered so act fast if you want one--
