We are back in the room but there is NO chance Grier is going to sleep anytime soon--- he had a long nap this afternoon in the stroller as we walked back from Build A Bear on 46th & 5th!  He really needed to rest so I am glad he did--

Today went well--- we met with the team and got "our goodie bag"-- this bag has all the supplies we will need for the next several days, YUCKY sski drops ( iodine to protect his thyroid from the radioactive injection-- he takes these for 3 days), urine collection bucket, a throw up bucket-- ( you never know when you need it !), contrast & measuring cup, forms that have his height and weight on them to hand to each technician at each test- and last but not least the BIG container with some kind of preservative in it for the 4 hour urine collection-- It has warnings all over it about being dangerous if on your skin-- all of this is in a HUGE brown Shopper!  I think it should be printed with the words "I HATE CANCER" ---  but it is plain and lots of people carry them down 1st and York-

His check up went fine-- he does have another bad ear infection and they can not believe he is not complaining--- UGGH!  They are going to check him every day to make sure it is getting better-- The bad part is no vaccines this trip!  Really bad since he was going to get his 4 shots while he was asleep--

CT went fine-- he fell asleep while we were waiting and when I woke him up he seemed fine.  As soon as they went to touch his IV to inject contrast he started to cry-- I held it together and told the tech to keep going and Grier settled so we could finish--- there was not any anesthesia back up so we had to do this-- I think it was the IV causing the problem--- It is a good one according to the nurses and if good blood return means anything they are RIGHT!!!  LOTS of BLOOD--- even Grier commented on it-

We didn't have to wait too long for his MIBG injection and after he was done we headed to Build A Bear for his reward-- He made a Mets Bear and he is wearing a uniform WITH cleats! He had fun doing this for the first time and it was not crowded which made it more enjoyable-

We had a quick dinner at the pizza place-- and played in the playroom-- he is coloring now and may do that until he just can't keep his eyes open anymore! 

We head to the hospital at 7:30 for his MIBG and then we are done for the day--  so maybe we will get out of there by 10~!  

I will post some pictures soon--- they are of us waiting all day and "Home Run Henry"

Grier wants everyone to know he has 2 days left!!!
