We were told to be at the hospital at 10:30 for our 11:30 MRI--- so we were there and that is when the wait began--- Let me just say that by 3:30 Grier was finally taken back for his MRI-- Apparently, this day was full of emergencies and since Grier had anesthesia with the MRI and then Bone Marrows right after it-- we just had to go with the flow- and if it were Grier in an emergency I would hope people would do the same and not complain- This is an extremely busy place -- we met lots of people in the waiting room today-- Grier entertained them with his southern accent so it helped pass the 5+ hours! The hardest part was not eating or drinking (NPO) since last night at dinner-- Grier is really a good sport about that I on the other hand need some caffeine !!! He knew he was going to eat a Willy Wonka bar that Jeanna got him and that is what he did after he woke up-
We got back to the ronald around 5 --- I was so glad we did not try to change our flight-- that would have added so much stress to this day.
We did get a quick moment with a doctor and he said the prelim of CT and MIBG are negative--- we still need to hear about MRI, urine, and BM--
I will update more from home-- this day was mentally exhausting-- I watched so many people get bad news... it is something I dread to see at Sloan--because as with the emergencies that happened ..I know the roles could be reversed at anytime--
We should be home by 8 :30am so I need to watch grey's, clean, pack and sleep.... You would think I had enough hospital drama for today--- now I just need Jeff to stop flipping to the Yankees game!!!

I have not looked at this site in so long - what a good feeling. I did pray for all of you last week. In fact, last Sunday, I had the preschool kids sing, "shine all over NYC" when they sang, "This Little Light of Mine. I will keep praying that all test come back clear. Please know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers even though we do not get to catch-up or see each other very often. Love, Pat
