The boys are buzzed



A day or so after Super Grant got the new 'du, so did the rest... Riley was especially exited. He demanded that it be shorter than it was cut (on clipper guard #2), but unfortunately, Joella's clippers set is missing guard #1, so guard #2 had to suffice. They all love to talk about how they can tell its already growing back. :) (Front row: Grant Nelson, Riley Morris... Middle row: Jackson Steelman, Zac Dart, Mike Hancock, holding Will Dart... Back row: Joel Hancock, holding Brady Steelman, Jacob Nelson.)

Grant, Em, and Kevin are already up in Chapel Hill for their Tuesday morning appointments, which start at 7:30. Tomorrow will be a lumbar puncture and spinal tap. The findings of these tests will tell us if he is indeed in a state of remission. Then, he will be part of a clinical trial, where his later course of action will be decided, according to what is deemed best for getting him fully recovered.

Thanks again for the many, many prayers and well wishes in his behalf. He's being such a trooper, as you can tell, and looks forward to looking like himself again. Until then, he's happy making funny faces and wearing his pants really low under his bloated belly. :)

Also, there are still t-shirts for sale. If you'd like to place an order, let Joella know via email at granttshirt@yahoo.com. They are $10.

"God gave us memories, that we might have June roses in the December of our lives" (paraphrasing James Barrie, in Laurence J. Peter, comp., Peter's Quotations: Ideas for Our Time [1977], 335). Thomas S. Monson quoted this in last November General Conference. May you all have June roses until this trial has passed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Grant you really are a super hero!

Take care!!!
