We flew into NYC today around noon--- We ended up taking a US airways flight due to no available corporate flights--- everything went fine except for a few confiscations at the security checkpoint!! Jeff lost his Kiehls (face lotion!!)-- and I lost a wine bottle opener-- Oops-- I forgot I had that in my purse!! Grier was a bit annoyed when they had him take his shoes off-- you know he has a shoe issue!! And then they made his poptart go into the x-ray machine-- But all ended fine and we had extra help from Nancy so it worked out and gave us some laughs!
We went straight to the day hospital-- he had a CBC done because he was borderline in Charlotte for a blood transfusion-- And he ended up not needing one--whew!! We got all of the necessary meds we will need for the next few days and then left after an exam-- He has gained weight-- and checked out well!!!
Our day will start early tomorrow-- he needs to drink some contrast-- then we will head over to the PDH by 9:30-- his scans are at 11:30-- (give or take a few hours :)!!) --while he is asleep for the CT-- they will do the bone marrow tests- He can not eat anything until after the scans-- that may be the hardest part--!!
We are freezing-- I wish I could record the howling wind sounds coming from the window!! Charlotte was very cold when we left-- but the wind here is MEAN-- especially walking everywhere!!

Glad you had a good flight up -- it is really cold here tonight and windy, so I can only guess how cold it is in NYC among all those skyscrapers!
So happy that he didn't need a transfusion -- one less procedure!!
Hope tomorrow goes well at the PDH. At least there is one good thing about being in the hospital -- you're not out in the cold!! Sounds like a good ole turkey sandwich will be in order late in the day!
Thinking of you on this cold night and know your love (and the Ronald) is keeping you all warm tonight. Sleep tight --

Also glad everything went well with your travels today! And so happy for no need for a transfusion...anything to avoid more time in the PDH and fewer procedures.
It is truly freezing here; however, that NYC wind is brutal. I sure hope you went prepared. However, the many street corner stands offer plenty of gloves, hats, and scarves. Stay warm and use the howling winds as a white noise background...I love white noise so much I run a fan in my bedroom year-round. This also helps to drown out the trips to the potty that all of my children find necessary at wee hours of the morning.
Hoping and praying all goes well and according to plan for the next few days. Praying for comfort for Grier and a quick trip!
Tons of love to you all...

Happy to hear the trip went well. I am with Grier on that shoe thing. We will be holding you very close in our hearts and prayers today as you go thru all the tests.
I hope Grier gets to get a turkey sandwich soon.
As always,
The Paine's
