The post-op check went fine-- we got there and they failed to tell us we had to take him to x-ray @ 9:15 this morning-- so we had to go to x-ray as soon as we got there this afternoon at 2:30! We waited.... and finally got back to see the NP-- she asks a ton of questions-- looked at his x-ray and saw some fluid still in his lower left lung-- nothing to worry about -- hopefully time will take care of that! We also saw this HUGE pathology report basically saying everything Dr. LaQ- took out was Neuroblastoma- After all that-- Dr. LaQ came in and said the same thing-- and to start chemo as soon as we get home- The NP removed a stitch from Grier's side-- it was left from the chest tube-- And that was it--- a few hours later we headed back to the Ronald!
Grier decided he wanted Pizza tonight so we headed next door to Delizia's--
We are getting ready to put in Elf for the 1000th time so we can start cleaning and packing-- This is like dorm living-- after we are clean they need to come inspect and then we can check out!
So, we are headed home tomorrow-- and will check into CMC sometime soon!
Here are some links to things we have enjoyed-- people keep asking-- :)
Lenny's--- Grier favorite!
Crumbs-- best cupcakes!!

I am so happy to hear your news! I bet Grier is also. We love Buddy the "Elf!" How fitting that you're watching that in NY...it's really too funny.
Don't want to keep you from cleaning. Sleep well and we'll so look forward to seeing you very soon!
Tons of Love to you all...

Have a safe trip home - I know you must all be so ready to be back in Charlotte. Grier is such a trooper! Actually, you all are.

Hooray!!! Safe trip home. Would love to come see you when you get home. Know you need to get somewhat settled, but let us know. Fantastic news!!! This journey is reaching the finish line ( at least this stage or it). See you all home soon. The Stack Family
We are so happy for the good news and even happier you will be headed home tomorrow. As soon as you are settled we will get together.

Sooooooooooo happy that you got a great report today and that you are headed for HOME SWEET HOME! What troopers you all are -- can you stand it that you are finally coming home???
Grier's recovery and next chemo will go smoothly and be a lot easier here at LCH.
Hope your pizza was good -- I had pizza tonight too!

This is great news! I know you must be thrilled and probably can't believe it. We are looking forward to seeing you back on the street and playing in the yard in no time. I hear it is going to be a mild winter, so plenty of time for baseball in the front yard. Safe travels and so happy for y'all. See you soon!
Love,
Sally, Pete & Molly Brown
Dorm Living! Ha! If only you had your oh so helpful and neat roommate with you to help you clean up all that mess. And Elf! I'm sure its burned on you retina's by now. You don't even need that DVD anymore. I will send you a better Will Ferrell movie on your email.
I am so glad you all are coming home!
Amy, Jeff and Grier,
So so glad to hear you are headed back home to family and friends and maybe even your own beds here and there. Best wishes for an easy travel day tomorrow.
love from the Baders
Amy,
YEA!!! So glad to hear the news you are heading home!!!! Isn't it crazy that going home to do chemo seems easier? You are one amazing family. Your own bed is never going to feel so good!!!! Blessing to you all, and so happy you will all be together before Thanksgiving!!!

What great news! Hope you have a safe trip home and we will continue to pray for you guys as you transition back home and start the next round of chemo. Love, The Bradleys
Wonderful news!!!! Save trip home, I know you guys are excited to get home and to your support network, friends and family. We will be thinking of you guys as Thanksgiving approaches and give thanks for Grier's recovery and pray for his upcoming treatment. God bless !

Amy,
Hope you all are home by now and attempting to get settled and get everyone into his/her own bed! Your house probably feels like a mansion compared to your living quarters for the past three weeks...the wide array of quarters you've had.
Looking forward to hearing about Grier's attitude toward home and whether it's perked up his general outlook and more importantly, his eating. Can't wait to see you all! Mitch wants to bring a cupcake and balloon to Grier...he was none to pleased when I told him we would have to wait until tomorrow. Let us know what type of cupcake Grier might want.
Love to you all...sweetest dreams!
Dina
