I thought I would do a quick update on Grier-- he has been doing GREAT!!! He loved Halloween and has now moved on from his imaginary baseball/soccer team to his basketball team!!! Yes-- we did have to get him Chuck Taylor's for his "uniform"!

On the medical front it has been quiet for us-- tomorrow we will go see Dr. McMahon for his monthly check-up-- And next Friday (14th)-- his mediport will be taken out! Exciting in so many ways but scary in some ways too--- We have not had surgery in Charlotte in so long-- I am out of practice-- I am used to MSKCC so it will be an adjustment for us! I joked with a friend and said that I would bring my stroller and as soon as he blinked I was leaving the recovery room and walking home-- Hey-- that is what we did in NYC! I know that will not be the case and have been told to spend at least an hour in recovery-- maybe longer- ( Hey.. Susan can you go to outpatient and be our nurse that day??? :) PLEASE!!! I wish some of our NYC friends were as lucky as we have been for the last few months-- I am sick of reading about kids losing their battle with NB and those that are relapsing -- It has been non-stop lately -- It is really NOT fair--

We were given a gift that is priceless-- Angela Shea came to our house and went to the Park with us to do some family photographs-- First... let me say she was AWESOME to work with and if you need a children's photographer-- I would give her 10 stars!!! Here is the blog she does and you can see some of our pictures-- http://www.shea.typepad.com

And everyone who reads this blog ( which is NOT many any more) knows I only have a few more days to write about the CURESEARCH milestones walk on Saturday, Nov.15th-- Our GGG team is not at 100 yet--- and I am begging you to pre-register to make my life easier as a team captain on the morning of the walk-YOU MUST register everyone that will be walking-(it is $10 per walker) - I am going to be wearing a million hats that morning and I would love to have everyone that is going to walk with us register on-line-- If you can not walk in person-- join the team as a virtual walker-- send out a few emails-- set a goal of $10 and see the difference you make when everyone contributes a little bit! Also-- as the disorganized team captain that I am --- I did not print any special shirts for our team to wear-- IF you have a Go, Grier, Go shirt-- wear it! IF NOT-- Kerri may have a few so if you email me I can forward that to her-- And IF YOU DO NOT want to wear a GGG shirt-- that is OK too!
The walk is going to be fun-- only a couple of laps around Freedom Park lake-- music... Sir Purr, Lug- Nut, Molly Grantham, Starbucks, Smoothie King, Krispy Kreme.. Kids.. Families.. doctors.. nurses... friends... neighbors.. all coming together to show their support for finding a cure-

Thanks to the latest sponsor of the walk--- Commonwealth Animal Hospital!!! Thanks Jimmy !

I am sure I have forgotten something -- oh well-- maybe I will update more often!!
