4 weeks to go....



Chemo is done for the week... the port is out of his chest.... He is doing well.... I mean AMAZINGLY well--- it has not slowed him down at all the last few days... except when he has been attached to an IV pole for an hour..... 

See below ... This is the email some of you may have gotten several times.... but it is super important... so I am posting it again... On Dec. 4th we will have the 3rd ANNUAL BAKE SALE for COOKIES FOR KIDS CANCER.... this is a GO GRIER GO sponsored event but 100% of the  proceeds will go towards clinical trial for children fighting cancer.  There are MANY ways to help even if you do not live in CHARLOTTE, NC-- You can help us by sending out emails to family and friends and ask them to make an online donation to our bake sale.....
here is the website-- www.cookiesforkidscancer.kintera.org feel free to make a personal page -- ALL of these donations will go towards our DEC. 4th total--- If you live in the LKN area there will be a satellite location at BIRKDALE..... Julie Sparks and her friends are in charge of that location... they will have bake goods and a raffle as well....  This bake sale is not just about Grier and Adam--- we are fighting for all kids battling cancer at both Levine and Blume.... Please email me if you would like your child to be honored at the bake sale... We are going to have an "inspiration table" set-up with photos of each child and if their family would like to bake their favorite goodie it will be displayed on that table as well--- I do not pretend to know everyone in the area so I am relying on you to email me if you would like to be a part of our "inspiration"- amychristenbury@att.net

OK--- ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO---- We need you help to make bake sale history and to meet our $50,000 goal....

Dear Friends & Family,


As many of you may already know, we are in the process of planning our BIG Cookies for Kids’ Cancer Bake Sale inspired by our sweet friend, Grier Christenbury.  For those of you who don’t know about Grier, he is a VERY endearing 6 year old boy, who was first diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer called Neuroblastoma at the age of 2 1/2.  Many of us have watched as Grier and his family gone through what many of us couldn’t even fathom for over 3 years.  While many of us have done what we can to support their family in many ways.  It wasn’t until last November at the Cure Search Walk, that a group of mothers was moved to do something more to help raise awareness of and funds for pediatric cancer research in honor of sweet Grier. So, last year, with the help of many local bakeries & volunteers, we had the biggest CFKC Bake Sale ever in the history of the US at Blackhawk Hardware in Park Rd. Shopping Ctr. & Reid’s Uptown, raising over $30,000 for pediatric cancer research with a match from Glad Corp.!

I am thrilled to tell you that not only do we have a match from Glad Corp. this year, we also have a match from Bank of America! Of course, we are hoping for more! 

And for those of you who are asking ‘What is Cookies for Kids’ Cancer?’. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is a 501©3 nonprofit public charity raising money for pediatric cancer research through local bake sales and online cookie sales.  It was founded by a very determined mother to help increase her son’s odds in his fight against cancer. 

So, here we are again!  We are calling on our friends & families to come together again and help us in our efforts to raise some ‘dough’ for pediatric cancer research. 

These are a number of ways that you and your family can help:
·       First of all, we need volunteers for lots of things!:-)

1.    We need bakers!  We will take everything and anything…as long as it’s sweet!:-)  Please package brownies, rice krispies, etc. in bags of two and cookies, etc. in bags of three.
2.   We need freezer space!  Anyone who has freezer space and that lives in the area of Park Rd. Shopping Ctr., we would greatly appreciate the use of your freezer space to store cupcakes, etc. donated by Polka Dot Bake Shop.
3.   We need drop-off locations for those that won’t be able to deliver their goodies the day of the event.  Again, the most ideal situation would be to have them close to the bake sale location. You would need to be able to accept deliveries on Fri., Dec. 3rdfrom 2-6pm and have deliveries ready for pick up on Sat., Dec. 4th by 8:30am.
4.   We need people who can put signs in storefronts!  We will just go from strip malls to shopping centers, focusing on the South Charlotte communities especially.
5.   We need volunteers that are willing to let us promote the bake sale on their vehicles!  We will be meeting at a specified time & place to write on the windows of our vehicles w/ glass markers…it washes right off.  They did this at a bake sale we just went to in Greenville, SC and it was a HUGE success! Please contact….
6.   We need sign makers!  If any of you have girl scouts, boy scouts, youth groups, etc….we would love for them to make some signs for us.
7.   We need face painters!  If you or someone you know are artistic and want to try your hand at face painting, we need you!
8.   We need pick-up & delivery drivers!  We will need drivers on Fri., Dec. 3rd and Sat., Dec. 4th to pick up from local bakeries that will be donating, as well as, some volunteers to transport tables & chairs.
9.   We need sign holders!  We need children &/or parents that can stand on the sidewalks & near Park Rd./Woodlawn Rd. to entice passerby’s to come join in on the fun, and of course, to buy some yummy baked goodies.
10.  And last, but not least, we need volunteers to work the tables.  We are still in the planning stages, so we are not quite sure how many we are going to need.  However, I would say that we are going to need between 10 and 15 volunteers per shift.

These are the shifts that we will have available:

9am-12pm Set-up/Station Helper (10-15 peeps)
12pm-3pm Station Helpers (10-15 peeps)
3pm-6pm Station Helpers/Tear Down(10-15 peeps)

·       If you have an interest in helping on our committee, please e-mail me at your earliest convenience @ lesa.helbein@gmail.com.  We will be meeting on Tues. nights from now until Dec. 4th.
·       We are looking for sponsors this year as well! So, if any of you know of someone who might have an interest in sponsoring our event, please have them contact me @ lesa.helbein@gmail.com. This would be a great tax write-off for those who have not yet met their yearly quota of $500!:-)
·       We are also looking for corporate sponsors and donations!  For those of you who work for large corporations, we would love some corporate sponsorships or donations.
·       And, of course, we are looking for LOTS of raffle items!  Last year, our raffle was a HUGE success!  Please direct anyone who would like to donate a raffle item to amychristenbury@att.net.


I think that about does it!:-)  Our friends & family were an integral part to the success of our CFKC Bake Sale last year.  We have done several events in Grier’s honor since last year and I am always in awe of what a wonderful outpouring of support we have from our friends, family & community.  We cannot thank you enough for all that you have done to help us in our efforts to raise funds for pediatric cancer research, but there is still so much we can do!  We hope that you can join us in Charlotte’s 3rd Annual Cookies for Kids’ Cancer Bake Sale!  Thank you in advance for your time and generosity.  At Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, we believe that “If it takes a village to raise a child, then it will take the world to fight pediatric cancer”.  We’re in this fight, because every child battling cancer deserves a fighting chance.

If for some reason, you can’t volunteer or attend our 3rd Annual CFKC Bake Sale and you still want to help or join our team, please go towww.cookiesforkidscancer.kintera.org.  On the right side of the page, click on ‘Join Team’ and you will see our team link for Charlotte’s 3rd Annual CFKC Bake Sale.  We hope to see you there!

If you can volunteer in any capacity, please go to: http://www.volunteerspot.com/login/entry/42345634521626042 and get signed-up ASAP….we only have 4 weeks to go!:-)  We are hoping that this will be a much easier way to manage the volunteer list, so please bare with us!:-)  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Sincerely,
Lesa Helbein
Volunteer,
Cookies for Kids’ Cancer

P.S.  We will be at Which Wich at Park Towne Village on Woodlawn Rd. all day today…Fri., Oct.29th!  They will once again be donating a portion of their proceeds to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer in honor of Grier…..they are such ‘good cookies’!

Please mention Go Grier Go or "Cookies" so we get credit!!




Nothing new on the chemo routine..... Grier seemed to be hurting in his leg a lot yesterday -- well, he did get a flu shot on Monday so I am sure that is what was causing his discomfort..... Today it seems better...

OK--- I am begging for Bake Sale help..... not just on the day of the sale, Sat. Dec. 4th but we need so helping hanging signs.... asking for raffle donations.... and freezer space!!! Yes, we are freezing some "goodies" that we are getting now--- Please think about anyone that you know or a business/ church that would allow us to store some things until the 4th--- not too far away from Park Road.... please!!  Please email me if you would like to help with any of these ideas~ amychristenbury@att.net

Just in case you are not inspired yet to help us make this bake sale HUGE--- watch the videos... you will be calling all your friends and family to get involved... I promise :)




I am also needing pictures of local kids that we can honor at the bake sale--- they are our inspiration.  We would love the families of our inspiration kids participate by baking the favorite cookie of your warrior or angel--- please email me 1) picture.... name and diagnoses and the type of cookie you are going to bake

"Chasing your tail"



Well-- I bet some of you are wondering WHY I have a you tube video post on GGG??? Let me explain...
Grier started chemo yesterday after a brief stay at school--- We went to the clinic.... met with Dr. M and he had his check up before the actual "drip" started in the infusion room.  This was the first time I had seen Dr. M since our "free of disease" status that happened during scan week in NYC~ So, we talked about our next steps--- and he said NYC docs recommended 2-3 cycles ( 5days each--21 days apart depending on counts) of Irinotecan and Temador.. I chimed in with -- Let's shoot for 2~ and he grinned and said... well, you know when kids ask you for something and instead of saying yes or No -- you say MAYBE.... well, NYC's 2-3 option is kind of your MAYBE--- could be more -- That was my first deep breath.... then we talked about how this LOW dose was going to effect his counts we are trying to increase so he can try something else.... and that is when he said Well, temador will effect his T-cell count ( that is what they want to increase) so at this point giving him this low-dose is like a DOG chasing it's own tail---- Ideally to get his T-cell to come up we need to stop treatment but that leaves him vulnerable--- so we will keep chasing our tail at this point!

Today was a relatively easy day in clinic.. Grier was able to go to Kindergarten and eat lunch... I picked him up and we were home by 1 something.... he was a little more quiet in clinic than usual--- but I thought it was because he was into his ipod.... but looking back-- he was quiet because he was tired and didn't feel great.  He was asleep for the rest of the afternoon.... My biggest clue at clinic was that he was not into coloring logos today.... Thanks to Frances I now have a list app for my phone ( PAPERLESS)... and I told a friend today how excited I was about the new app---- I am always forgetting something so I am hoping this app is the thing that saves me!!! If not... I will enjoy the list called "someday" --- I am sure I can fill that "someday list" up if I actually took the time to think about it!!! I think the first thing for the "someday list" is to stop chasing our tail!!! hmm... not a bad thought... SOMEDAY.... BUT right now-- I am going to go plan the biggest bake sale Charlotte has ever seen.... so that SOMEDAY comes sooner than later!

no selling needed

Well-- I was a little worried about dropping the "Grier, we have to go to the clinic all week" bomb-- BUT in typical Grier fashion.... I did not need to sell the idea at all---- I told him I needed to pick him up from school early tomorrow and got the WHY??? I said he had a doctor's appointment... and before I could say what doctor etc.-- he said, " Do I get to go in the back???" ( he was talking about the infusion room)--- I said,  "yes"... and he said,  "Oh good".... "Are you going to get me all 5 days???"  Yes... was my answer again.... he was fine with it--- the only thing he said later to Jeff was that I was picking him up early all week... and he has to miss "reading buddies"-- Whew!  That went a lot better than expected.... but I will say that I had my own breakdown about the whole idea..... I think it was because so many people have asked WHY?? First they say.. "I thought you said his scans were clean".... and THEY WERE--- but we are buying time and keeping him "protected" with CHEMO- "safe with chemo"--- a really crazy combo if you asked me-  I know it is LOW-DOSE but there are still side effects.... He has handled it well in the past-- but he takes LOTS of medication to help ward off nausea and control the BIG D-- everyone handles LOW DOSE DIFFERENTLY-- and each round is different.   I was just "wishing" our lives could move on a little.... I mean longer than 21 day intervals.... I thought the 90 day intervals used to be hard but we have done the 21-28 days since mid-May----  I am tired of the "stuck" or "treading water" feeling.....

That is it--- Kindergarten/Chemo week starts tomorrow... I am sure I will have stories to share....
Let the craziness start (again)-

a little surprised...

Well--- the tests came back and Grier's immune system is not ready to try the Vaccine Trial @ MSKCC-- I am not really surprised... and neither is Dr. K--- he said that with the HIGH DOSE ICE  Grier had in May and July it would be most likely 6 months after that... His suggestion is the same 5 day course of chemo he has had the last 3 times... no surprise there!  I knew when he mentioned that Grier looked great and he was pleased with his activity level since these rounds of chemo I should prepare to do more.... and I was right!  I have made the call to Charlotte to see what Monday we want to start.... I will tell Grier soon... I have to get my salesman act on and sell it like we are going to Disney.... Sometimes I just wish I was surprising him with something great... instead of "5 days in the infusion room"--- After we finish the chemo-- we will head back to NYC-- scan and check immune system.. I am expecting that to be early January... assuming we have no complications in the mean time.... the silver lining to the schedule is we will be home for the Holidays... avoiding expensive airline travel and we will also be home for the bake sale on Dec. 4th @ Park Road Shopping Center/Blackhawk--- There will also be a satellite location at Birkdale Village... Julie Sparks will be in charge of this location.  It is moments like this that make me want to raise more money because chemo is the only choice.... we need to find other ways to keep NB away...

If you are interested in helping at the bake sale... please join our group on Facebook click here--- or sign the guestbook and we will add you to the email list---

that is about it for now--- looks like it will be a "kindergarten/chemo" routine for awhile..... Grier has proven he is a tough cookie... now we need the rest of you all to step up and be a "good cookie"-- I will update often about our heroes battle to stay NED and also ways you can help during the next few months...

Amy



100% of the 3rd ANNUAL BAKE sale proceeds will go to COOKIES for KIDS CANCER---

some good news...

After a little over a year of straight treatment.... including 5 weeks of chemo just since Mid-May for relapse #2--- I just got this email.....


"Tests show no evidence of disease, our group is discussing what next.  One consideration is vaccine"


What does it all mean??? 
It means that we are not anywhere close to being "comfortable" with this---" no evidence of disease" means that the microscopic disease is hard to detect...  Neuroblastoma likes to come back... and we have to find something to keep it away for good... But we are thrilled with the news.... I am exhaling a little more... and Grier is "just Grier"-  Hopefully his immune system is strong enough to try the vaccine.... but for now... he keeps going to school and playing and we keep looking for the needle in the haystack.....


Thanks for continuing on this crazy "ride" with us---

A week in pictures...

Since I am too tired --- I am afraid I would not make much sense as I tried to write an update.... so the next best thing is pictures..... so I am posting our week in pictures..... I can not believe I did not take any pictures while we were in the Museum... well... yes, I can... we were looking for Liam and Ella and the exhibits we were trying to see were closed so it was a crazy visit :) There is a whole day of pictures missing.... but you will get the point..... also they were in order but now they are all mixed up--- just read the captions~  We landed in Charlotte at 12:30 on Friday--- it felt like we had a full day by the time we got off the plane.... packing, cleaning, and hailing a cab to LGA!!! There was no time for a "gentle re-entry" -- I hit the ground running back into my routine.... and so did Grier--- We all went to the MP football game and by the time we got home our beds were calling our names!!! Saturday morning I got up early and went to Greenville, SC with Lesa to "experience" a HUGE bake sale--- and to sell some T's and bottle cap necklaces.  We had a great time and even though I was too tired I am so glad I went.  I was able to see some friends we usually see in NYC-- and I met some other families that are fighting the same battle as we are and two very brave families that fought the same battle and lost their children.

I have not heard from NYC since we left the clinic on Thursday.... I hope to hear something sometime this week.  Grier did an extra blood test to see if his immune system is ready to do it's job--- if he is NED then he will most likely be on the vaccine trial.  We need his immune system to be healthy enough so we are waiting on a test to let us know.  

That is it--- I will update as soon as I can.... all in all NYC was uneventful.... Grier did an amazing job handling these tests and I just tried to "breathe" for the few days we were in the city.... I am still trying to do that... and I think I have learned that will always be the case... so I better get used to it--- 

PLEASE save the date for Saturday, December 4th--- Charlotte's BAKE SALE will be BACK--- and this year we have set the goal HIGHER than ever---- more to come soon....

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2010 10:16 PM, EDT
trying to keep up with my energizer bunny aka as Grier--- been going since 7:30--two scans.. 4 bone marrows and a visit with our doc... so far he is happy with what he sees- still waiting on all tests and final reports--- another visit with Liam and Gretchen.... and a LONg walk to the toy store and dylans.... going to the playroom for some ping-pong and to print boarding passes-- we are coming home in the morning :) more later..... I need to pack.. and clean....  

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2010 9:04 PM, EDT
I am not sure who I was kidding..... I THOUGHT today was going to be a little better since we were in NYC and I could concentrate just on Grier and scans.... when I am in Charlotte it is CRAZY trying to balance everything plus this treatment plan so I was lookiing forward to just doing HOSPITAL stuff.... but that is still a lot---!

I got Grier out of school early again yesterday so we could make our 2pm arrival for our 3pm flight... The flight went well... they treated Grier like a king and we arrived in NYC around 5:30-- waited for a LONG time to get checked in... and hen dropped our bags and walked to the hospital to get our supplies for the week--- meds, instructions, etc.--- it was late 6:20--- but they were still there --- it saved us from a really early morning today- Grier and I went to his pizza spot, ran to Duane Reade for some things that I needed to replenish in "our Box that we leave in NYC" and then came back and went to the playroom for some ping=pong .

We slept later than we wold have if we were home.... 8ish and took our time his morning... no breakfast was eaten because he had to have his CT @ 10:20--- so he drank contrast instead-- all 12oz of it- He keep asking HOW much more???  He finally finished and we left for the hospital around 9:30--- he needed to have his port accessed and a check up from a NP--- We were there saying "hi" to nurses we haven't seen in a LONG time... and they called him back and all of a sudden I FORGOT I had not put "magic cream" on his port--- WHAAAT? so we had to wait another 20 minutes.... while the numbing cream did its magic!  I was really out of this routine....after the port was accessed we went down to CT and checked in-- they said come back in 30 minutes so we went back to 9 to see if we could finish with them... waited... and he had his check up-- they asked me what we had been doing since we were last there... and I almost could not rememeber..... had to go all the way back to MAY and try to remember what dates he had chemo... went back down to 2 and waited a LONG time.... finally around 12:15 he had his CT-- and we left --- he wanted to go to Lester's so we walked 15 blocks--- shopped.... and then walked back to the hospital for the 2nd appointment.... his MIBG injection.... left again around 2:30-- got some lunch at Lenny's-- and went to the Ronald for a second... and left again and took a taxi to the West side -- we went to the Museum of Natural History--  met Liam, Ella, and Gretchen there.... and then went to visit with them for a little bit--It was not long enough --before we knew it -- it was 6:30-- Grier was tired... he ate dinner... got a second wind, played some BINGO--- and a quick game of ping-pong-- and now has crashed!  WHAT was I thinking......?  This has been more exhausting than being at home juggling all three--- And and the mental part of all this---  

Tomorrow-- we have to be at the hospital at 8 for the MIBG scan-- the one I hate... 1 1/2 of staying still--- and me trying to not look at a screen that is all around me--- At 1:30-- he is scheduled for his BM--- SERIOUSLY??????? That means he can't eat until after that because he has anesthesia--- they said to come by after the MIBG to ee if there was a cancellation.... ugh... I hope--- I am so glad I decided not to book a flight home tomorrow---- it would have been really hard doing all that and packing, cleaning etc..... 

enough for tonight---- tomorrow will be here before I know it and we will do this all over again..... 

I can not believe I did not take too many pictures today--- none at the museum.... oh well--- 

Sunday, October 3, 2010

Whew... It is October!

September ended a few days ago and I have never had a busier Month.... Life is busy enough with three kids with school and sports... not to mention two of the three that now have social lives.... but add in 30 days of fundraising... and 2 HUGE online voting contests.... plus two weeks of chemo and some tests... and I am not sure how it all got done!   I won't kid you and let you let think things weren't forgotten about--- Yes.. they were-- Lots of emails are yet to be answered and phone calls need to be returned... I will get to that soon... and in the middle of the chaos I switched our phone, Internet and TV to U-verse.... so we are having some adjusting issues too----

We are still waiting on the 30 days for a cure total--- I am not going into all that right now--- but if you went or witnessed any of the 30 days you know Lesa and I were busy marketing etc.... and it is driving me crazy that we are having to keep asking the businesses we worked so hard for and in some cases A lot harder than the check they gave us.... We are trying to get totals from them and checks collected.... That is all I am going to say before I get in trouble....

The awesome news is that Arms Wide Open Foundation won the $250,000 Pepsi grant.  100% of the grant money will be used at MSKCC for the "turbo 3F8"--- it is suppose to be 10x as effective as the 3F8 Grier has received in the past and less painful.... the plan is that is should be in the clinic by late 2011--- still needs more funding but $250,000 is a huge part.  Thanks to everyone that voted during the month and sent a text to Pepsi-  The Jimmie Johnson Helmet of Hope extra $20,000 was won by Cookies for Kids Cancer.... this contest was so close and it was decided by Jimmie's foundation to award both the 1st and 2nd place the additional $20,000--- so $280,000 was won in September and all will go to research for children fighting cancer.  So many wonderful things happened in September... 30 days for a cure was a big part of it--- Lesa and I said we should have video taped each day... ( don't worry... we will have a Flip by the time the BIG bake sale comes in December)-- Thanks for being a part of the month....

Grier and I leave on Tuesday and his scans will start early Wednesday morning.... He will have CT and MIBG injection on Wednesday... and MIBG and Bone Marrows on Thursday.  We will fly home on Friday morning.  I am a little stressed so please don't ask or text me about scans this week... I will post when I hear.... I thought I was not as stressed as I was until the "normal" broken / bad sleep started happening a few days ago--- I know he is in good hands but I am just ready to hear what is going on in that little body since May and 5 weeks of chemo----

I will update from NYC if I can... sometimes if just doesn't happen because it takes forever to get a password.... maybe they have changed that process since the last time we were there.   OK-- that is it-- if I seemed distracted I am .... so pray or do whatever you do that we can move on to plan A.... and skip plan B all together! ( I don't even know what plan A is but I know it has to be better than B)
