Home Health came today to our house to draw blood for labs-- the nurse had not been to our house since he had that high fever-- Well, Grier started "shivering" and I had to laugh-- he remembered what happen last time and made a joke! I didn't know what he was doing at first but when I saw him making himself shake and then grinning while she did his blood I thought it was funny!
On a sad note-- another child has died from this awful disease-- He has been on the news a lot today and if you catch his interview you will be amazed-- he is wiser than most adults at the age of 16-- Here is a link if you want to see it online- http://www.wsoctv.com/family/14254539/detail.html
We never met him at clinic but our go grier go bracelets were often mistaken for his-- His name is Brandon Elam and the blue/white silicone bracelet says ELAM-N8-CANCER---! I hope one day we can eliminate childhood cancer---

Hi, wow what a month!! caught up today on Grier and the family. Glad school has started and I've gotten to see you and Jeff. You guys are in our every thought and prayer. We are here for you always. The Stack family
Thank You Amy for keeping us all so mindful of what is important in this world. I just watched the clip on Brandon and feel so appreciative for hearing his words- thank you for introducing me to him - heaven's gain is earth's loss. You have so much going on but you are always invested in keeping us mindful of others outside of ourselves. Thank you for the inspiration you give - daily!
Love, Alex
Amy,
Not surprised even a little bit that Grier turned what is so routine into a joke...I think it's fantastic and shows his minimal concern for what's going on within his little body. He's a child and should be able to act and feel like any mischievious 3-year old might! He is just awesome:)
I will admit that I was extremely sad watching the footage of Brandon Elam. This unfortunately showed the brutle truth behind this disease...it's heartbreaking. My prayers are focussed and unwavering for Grier to get the medical care he needs and, with God's love, be cured of the cancer. It can happen and we have to believe that it will for Grier and your family!!
I love you all dearly and will keep our thoughts and prayers on Grier:)
Love and Peace...

Grier definitely got his mothers personality. Glad he is able to play around. That is pretty funny for a three year old.
I have my sisters class in N.J. praying. I think they are pretty good prayers. It is a Catholic school. I know Catholics may not do everything right but we pray great.
So sad to hear aboput that young boy. I saw him interviewed this a.m. Only makes us want to strive harder so that others do not suffer what his family is .
I will keep them in our prayers.
Take care of yourselves.
As Always you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi Amy,
Thanks for the updates..so glad you got home on schedule. We drove past CMC/LCH tonight which looks great all lit up and the kids asked if Grier was there...so we all prayed for his healing as we passed it.
love Isabel
