10 days later..... I just found out that Grier's Bone Marrows were OK and his urine test was OK--- It was a longer than usual wait this time with lots of emails back and forth trying to get SOMEONE to look at these results--(Everyone seemed to be on vacation and the ones left were very busy with the patients in town) I was very frustrated because we have never had to wait as long as this to find out these results--- and with the CT showing something "slight" it just made the wait worse than normal! I guess it really does not change anything regarding the follow-up CT but it does make me feel a tiny bit better. The hope is that the "slight enlargement" is scar tissue from his surgical area... I am not sure if I have ever said but his "J" scar is from his belly button .... around to his mid- back area.... He calls it his "crack in his side"--- it does look like that a little! Grier's CT is scheduled and will be done on Tuesday, Aug. 25th in Charlotte--- yes... that is also the first day of school so it will be even more exciting than the "usual" first day of school around here-- I guess I should not be surprised since that is our luck!-- Grier has to be a CMC by 7:00am and we should be home by 11:00-- He will have to choke down their version of contrast and it is 100 times worse that NYC-- but with some bribery he will get it down-- Grier has been very busy since we have been home.... it did take a couples of days to get back up to speed but he is 100%. He went fishing last weekend and had a great time. Grier is ready for TK and soccer.... He has started his countdown until they start.... I am ready for Aug 26th so we can continue with his "big" Fall plans with no complications--- I will update when the CT is over -- Until then we are praying the "something" is scar tissue! Amy

Glad to hear good news from NYC and I am confident that you will receive good news after tomorrow's scan. Love the fisherman pic!

Love and best wishes to the two big guys as they begin in their new schools tomorrow! Both will sail through the day, the weeks, and the year, I'm sure!
