Done with the Work-up and at the Ronald!!

We are finally at the Ronald--- we tried to check in several times today and after three tries were are in a room-- no... not 810!

Grier did great as usual during the wait for the MIBG scan... waking up from anesthesia... and bone marrows-- We are done with all tests and now are just waiting--- the hardest part for us! It might not be until Monday before we hear anything-

I think being around MSKCC changes my mood a lot-- there is so much sadness here-- as well as hope and determination to beat cancer-- The more time we spend here -- the more people we meet and see how NB has affected their lives-- The most common thing is that things can go from good to bad in a second--- so it makes you try to enjoy every second while you have it-

Tonight will be low key--- we have to get up very early and check out and head to the airport--- Thanks for checking in on us this week--

Amy,I am so glad to hear that you are at the Ronald. I cannot imagine the anxiety you feel. Please know I have prayed allot today and had nothing but sweet Grier on my mind. Allot of people are saying allot of prayers. Hopefully you will have good news before Monday.
I hope you all rest well tonight and have a safe flight back home.
Grier is a fighter along with the rest of his family.
Lots of love to all of you,
Mary Ellen
