We are still at home at hanging in there--- Grier felt great for most of the weekend-- It was a welcomed change... his appetite was good as long as you were getting anything he was asking for to eat!! We went OUT of the house on Sunday for a quick outing to see Cake Boss make a HUGE Nascar car cake--- He had fun... but Grace really seemed to like it-- It was just nice to go somewhere !!! He is begging to go to Target-- he asks all the time if his counts are high enough to go!!

He and I went to the clinic for a quick visit and to check counts on Monday morning--- His counts are dropping and almost at 0!!!! I was really hoping for a quick visit to his class but was advised otherwise-- and it turns out it is good that we did not go visit-- Even a cold is not good when you are nutrapenic! So.. I went to have my car serviced since the "light" had been on for awhile.... my mom hung out with Grier and I thought it was going to be a quick service--- until the guy said, Mrs. Christenbury.. I have some bad news-- I thought of course you do--- he told told be we needed new brakes and I said OK-- is that it???? He just doesn't know bad news!!! After the car dealer I had to quickly find a dishwasher--- since ours broke on Friday night and deemed not worth repairing--- :) Two things I could fix without much effort--- The biggest problem is juggling it into fitting in our hospital/clinic schedule-

Grier has gradually gone down hill since yesterday--- energy level.... appetite... and mood--- I think he will need a blood transfusion tomorrow-- he seems pale and tired-- He stills says some funny things--- Today he was feeling his head and I asked him what he was doing? He told me he was checking to see if his hair was coming back yet--- and then he said... "Do you think it will be blonde or black?" hmmm??? I am think brown but you never know! :)

So many nice things have happened to Grier and our family lately-- I am not going to list them all but thank you for everything--!!! I know I will never be able to keep up with thank you notes- so please accept the blog as a GIANT thank you-

Shots start tomorrow-- I am wimping out and taking it to the clinic for them to do-- the last time was not so great at home--- ( it took 3 pokes for me to get it in the skin--- Grier begs me to do it--- but I am not great at it-- :) I am hoping for an uneventful clinic visit, no fevers and a dishwasher delivery --- not too much to ask... right?
