Another test result!

The test came back and he has a hard type of bacteria to treat in his line-- so the weird part is he should look and act sicker -- he does not have a fever and his counts are increasing each day-- so they took another culture just in case-- The only option is to surgically replace the line/port-- We may go home on Thursday and wait the 5 days at home and hopefully nothing will grow out during that time-

Amy,

I'm sorry you are being confronted with so many more issues than anticipated. I wish we could all make them go away...especially for Grier's sake! One huge positive is Grier doesn't seem to notice all of this is going on! HOORAY! We'll keep on praying that the bacteria are affected by the meds he's on now and get you all home soon!

Please, please let any of us know if you need anything...I do mean even toilet paper or personal items...so many of your friends are waiting to help out with the least little thing or the biggest something! Don't forget all of the friends you have programmed in your cell...there's a reason our numbers are in there! Put us to work!!

Look forward to hearing good news tomorrow and hope you have a good night's sleep!

Lots of love and prayers...
Dina

Amy, you are a NURSE, though you don't pretend to be one in daily life! Seriously, I hope humor helps a bit. I keep running into folks wearing Go Grier Go bracelets; positive thinking is powerful! Love!

Amy,
I hope you all will get home on Thursday. It is awesome to hear that Grier is just powering thru despite all these infections. I pray for continued strength for you and Jeff to weather all the ups and downs.
love Isabel

Amy, you and your family remain in our thoughts and prayers -- constantly. I hope Grier will go home on Thursday and that they will be able to treat this infection. It is nice to hear that Grier's spirits remain good, and I understand from Jeanna that he is quite a character and entertaining all who come to visit! Laura Beyer

Amy,
I am so sorry to hear of all of the infection issues, but I am happy to hear that Grier is in good spirits and powering through! Unfortunately, Kailyn and I were at Arboretum Pediatrics yesterday, and Kailyn was excited to show Dr. Sullivan her Go Grier Go bracelet. Dr. Sullivan said for me to please let you know she is thinking of you all if I spoke to you. Kailyn reminded me of the time we were hanging out in the waiting room together! Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers!!

Amy, I'm so sorry Grier has had all these extra little nuisances to contend with. I'm hoping and praying that they go away soon and that you can go home again for a few days.

And we do pray. The girls and I pray for you and Grier every night when I put them to bed.

May you both sleep well and peacefully tonight!
