We had a relatively easy day-- Grier did great with his procedures-- He was able to help push the anesthesia so he was happy--- He informed us at lunch that the white medicine makes him dizzy!! Well-- he is right! We were back at the Ronald by 3--
Tomorrow we will brave the cold (-1) around 6:45am-- his tests will start around 8-- Then we should be done- We may meet with the team and find out some results-- The bone marrow will take around 5 days- Our car is picking us up at 4 so we can fly out at 6:50!! Thanks to Frances and the folks at Black Forest-- we are using the car service that they recommended! Can't wait to update and say we are home!!

Hooray for a good and "easy" day --guess the easy button is coming in handy!! All three of you are heroes in my book for the way you breeze through the procedures these days.

It's coooold here again today, but not nearly -1!! Brrrrr -- bundle up when you head out at 6:45!

Continuing to send you love and prayers and glad you'll be home tomorrow in time for Saturday b'ball!

You deserve an easy day. Hope there will be allot more of those. I know you cannot wait to be on southern ground. Those N.Y. winters can be a little rough.
Hope today goes well and everything is as planned.
As always you are in our hearts and prayers,

Thinking of you often.
Praying for you more!
Grier is a very brave boy, entrusted to an extra special family.
I applaud your positive attitude and your ongoing communication through this website.
May God richly bless 2008 for your family. May God's healing hand be on your precious boy.

Love,

I agree with Debi Hall... Grier has been entrusted to a very special family! After reading the blog, here's hoping 2008 will be a MUCH better year for all of you but especially for Grier. Still wearing the bracelet. Still praying for him daily.
