We went to the "new" clinic today. It moved last week, and it is not in the hospital anymore but in a medical building across the street from the ER-- He did not even remember going to the new clinic last Monday-- that is how sick he was!
Today, Grier's counts were good and they said he looked good too!
He is still on IV antibiotics-- but instead of Saturday as the last day-- it will be this Wednesday! Jeff and I are thrilled-- we are a little sleep deprived!
No other news from NYC-- we are still waiting for a doctor to doctor conversation-- Our Doctor has tried to get him but he is a very BUSY surgeon-- sounds like he lives in the OR! We have a deadline-- if we do not hear that Grier will have surgery within the week-- he will get the 6th round of chemo- here in Charlotte- I feel better that there is some plan-- chemo will buy us time and hopefully shrink the tumor more so surgery will be easier-
We will know if he will do the 6th round by Wednesday-- I have tried to work it to be home for Grace's birthday (9/29) but it looks like Grier will be doing chemo if we are in Charlotte--- so we can have another party at Hotel CMC !
Hopefully, I can update tomorrow and let you know where we will be within the week!!

Amy & Jeff,
Sorry things are going so slow. I know that it must be so hard waiting.... We pray that the surgeon will say he can take Grier this week for surgery. I have been asking everyone I know if they have any "in's" at SK- no luck so far- sorry. Glad you have a plan though either way. And we are so thankful that Grier is doing better and home!! We hope you are all able to be home for Grace's Birthday. You are all in our prayers- Jennifer H
Amy,
Thinking of "you" and hoping you hear from SK ASAP!
Lots of Love and Prayers...

Praying you get good news soon and will be heading North. We will be thinking of Grace on her Birthday. I remember when you were expecting her. Sarah wanted her born on her Birthday. Missed by a few days.
Thinking of you always.
