We are done with all 5 scans--- I am not sure I have ever been so worked up about a work up !!  Sleeping has not been easy for a week or so!  We did hear results from 2 tests today... the MIBG was clear and the MRI ( of the brain and orbits) was clear-- That was nice to hear this morning as I put him on the table to have his bone marrow tests done-  We will hear next week sometime about the other 3-- I am relieved to say the least--  He did great all week with the waiting, anesthesia,exams etc.  And there is no doubt we are at a wonderful hospital great nurses and doctors-- 

We are headed home tomorrow and Grier is very excited-- Every morning he asks if "tomorrow is the day we were going back home"-- And I was happy to say "YES" this morning-  We are going to try to make a flight at a crazy early time--  Grier may even go to school if he is up to it-- Right now-- he is planning on it! And he is planning on bringing his tornado that he made at the science class here at the Ronald--

I will update when we get home- and as I know more results-

So happy for 2 great results. Will continue to pray for the others to be just as good.
Hope you make your flight and are back in Charlotte so we can see that sweet face at school.
Hope you all get some rest tonight.
Lots of love and prayers,
Mary Ellen

Also happy with 2 good results -- clear is the magic word we want to continue to hear!! Glad he got a ride on the ferris wheel today -- what's a trip to NYC without a little fun??? Hope you will all sleep well tonight after your good visit -- you are all amazing to go through what you do and keep your senses of humor and a smile on your faces! You are my heroes!!

Love and prayers and glad you'll be home early tomorrow.
