Yesterday we went to the clinic and had Grier blood count checked--- he was OK but his platelets were low--- we could tell this before the lab said so because it took some pressure to get the port to stop bleeding.
Grier and I left and have been hanging out at home-- he is so funny... He asks if his counts are still low everyday... and I finally asked why he was wondering and he said because I want to go somewhere!! He also has been watching lots of TV and commercials and his want list is growing by the second-- I told him he needed to get a job for all those things he wanted and he told me he couldn't because his counts were low and he can't go anywhere!!! hmmm.. I said this was a whole new experience with a 5 year old!!!
We are on our 3rd night of giving the shot he needs at home-- last night we had a little issue of getting it to stop bleeding because of the low platelets and we always have the issue of the high pitched screaming that makes me a little more nervous than I already am--- Hopefully, tonight will be the last night for a little bit until next round-
Last night was a little crazy. Hayes came home early from his baseball game not feeling well-- I knew it was going to happen sooner or later but I was hoping we were going to escape the "stuff" going around--- He ended up staying home today because he does not feel well-- and has flu-like symptoms except for a fever--- so we are doing our best to keep everyone separated--
enjoy the pictures-- they were taken today at clinic while Grier was getting a transfusion of platelets-- He worked really hard painting a witch--- He is very into Halloween decorations and has been begging me to get ours out of the attic-- I am slowly getting there !!! I will work on that this weekend because it will be here before we know it--- The picture of him without the hat was taken because he looked at me and said-- I think I want to take my hat off--- I said OK-- and he said but what about this???(He was pointing to his bald head)-- So... I decided to take the picture of him and show him it is still Grier--- and he said that he looks like Hayes-- !!
Thanks for checking in-

I subbed in Grier's class last week & heard the children talking about Grier & telling Mrs.Moore what they were doing for him. We are only in our 2nd year @ WDS so I didn't know who Grier was. Mrs.Moore told me about your site. So here I am reading all about you. You will be in our prayers tonight & every night.Loved hearing about Charleston since I'm from there.
All our best, The Kinlaws
