Home!

Grier was discharged late today-- He was given a new antibiotic.. Rocephin and then he got a pint of blood-- He still has a fever on and off and the plan is to watch him and if he is still having fever by Thursday... he will get a CT scan on Friday @ 6:15AM!!! They want to rule out an abscess from the surgery- So, Let's hope for the fever to go away and just be a normal virus!!
His counts are Ok -- so the good thing is he is not nutrapenic (no immune system)~
He had a pretty good day at the hospital--- the "old" Grier was peeking through a bit-- he started pushing the button for the nurse.. and smiling when Shannon, Suzi, and Kristen came in!!! He did not want to go to the playroom to make a "build a bear" but the nice girl from Child Life came and brought him a bear anyway!!! He ate his usual Turkey for lunch and is having some chinese for dinner!! That is it for now-- Hopefully we will make it without any extra trips to CMC this weekend and start chemo on Monday-

"There's no place like home for the holidays" -- so glad you are home for a few days. Will keep my fingers crossed that fever goes away and Grier stays put at home through Sunday night. I will certainly say a prayer of thanks for the return of the sweet, mischievious Grier!

Hope all of you will enjoy this Thanksgiving, back together after the NYC road trip. It will be a day to thank God for all of our many blessings this year. It has been a never-before and hopefully, a never-to-be-repeated year for your family, but you have proven your strength, your faithfulness, and your ability to conquer great heights continuously since March 27. You have done and will continue to do things you never thought possible -- you have been an inspiration to all of us and for that we are thankful!

Blessings, prayers, and love tonight at home,

Betty G

So happy to hear you will be home for the holiday. We will pray for no fever and no 6:15 appointment the day after Thanksgiving.
I know Grier will enjoy the turkey and there will be lots of turkey sandwiches to be had.
We will think of you with a kind heart this holiday. We are grateful that after so many years going in seperate directions we have found our friendship again.
Please know we are here for you
As always you are in our hearts and prayers.
We will be in the mountains for a few days so I do not know if I will be able to blog. You know I will try,I just do not know if my computer will work.
Love,
The Paine's

Glad you are home now! And I'll keep my fingers crossed for just a virus and that the rocephin (shot?) does the trick. Happy Thanksgiving and we will be thinking about you. Hope Grier gobbles up lots of turkey :)

I am so glad you are home!! It will be so nice to all be together and at home for Thanksgiving. Grier is still a regular part of Kailyn's prayers and the blessing before dinner, so you are all still constantly on our hearts and minds. May the Lord bless you this Thanksgiving holiday.

Love,
Lesley

I'm so glad you are all home, and odd as it may sound, I'm praying and hoping for a normal virus!

Ever since Thomas was very little, I've told him our Thanksgiving Day bird's name is TOM. Let Grier know this year we switched to.........
LENNY :) Hope you are all together on Jameston on Thanksgiving Day!
