Re-entry

Our weekend was pretty uneventful... re-entry is a little hard to get used to after being in patient for over a week... Grier adjusted well.... on Friday night we went to dinner... he was thrilled to meet The Stacks at the Mellow Mushroom... but he tires easily and fights every second of it-- he just doesn't like to miss a thing!  Saturday morning came so early... Grace had to be a the soccer field by 7ish... so leaving our house at 6 something was not my idea of a fun Saturday... Grier got up and begged to go but I told him he couldn't... and he went back to sleep for a little while.  We ended up going to the afternoon game. He had a great time at the game... not really watching but playing with a friend... I have been begging him to wear a hat but he refuses... I am glad that his baldness does not even bother him.... Sunday was almost an exact repeat of Saturday... but we added a family dinner to finally celebrate Jeff's birthday.

Grier went to the clinic today... his counts are all good... except his platelets are still low-- but they are OK to fly.  I am sure they will check them again in NYC.  Grace, Grier and I leave tomorrow for the BIG APPLE... They are very excited... Grace has not been in almost 3 years... and Grier is excited to have someone else besides me going along... I have not decided where I am yet... I can be in total denial and enjoy the city.... or I can keep asking myself... Are you sure this was a good idea?... and what happens if scans are not good?? Am I going to be able to hold it together??? I keep telling myself I can... and have before... so we will see! We have other friends in the city this week scanning... so we are excited to see them.  I also am going to try to see Gretchen and Ella.. Our plan it visiting, shopping, scanning, and sightseeing in three days....  I think we can... I think we can....

Hayes and my mom are going to enjoy Spring Break in Florida... and Jeff will be here holding down the fort at home and work.... More updates from the Ronald McDonald House... I can't wait to see Grace's reactions.... because this is not as fun as she thinks it is...
