Grant's Birthday

It's already Wednesday- Grant had a fine day in Chapel Hill yesterday. The doctors were very pleased with his "numbers" and he tolerated the chemo very well. He did not need additional platelets or a blood transfusion this week! So, it was a pretty gentle day in the clinic.

Dr. Romano brought her husband over to meet Grant. He's a cardiologist, and he was so sweet to Grant. She even went over to the hospital and got Grant a piece of pizza to eat while he had his chemo- he is really really hungry because of the steroids. How special Dr. Romano is, as well as all of the other doctors. Grant is in good hands... and we are so very thankful for how well Grant has adjusted to this new life.

Joel and Mike leave Friday to fly to Denver, the occasion is Kyle's graduation from law school!! Then Aly will fly home in a week with Zac and Will, and Kyle, Rod, Joel, and Mike will drive cross-country one more time.

The News-Times interviewed Emily and Grant today for a story that will run in the paper on Friday. It is Relay for Life weekend, and Smyrna Elementary has done an outstanding job in a very short time to raise money for cancer research. Thank you so much, Lisa and Vicki, and all of the staff and children at the school. It has really meant the world to the Nelson's. Love you all.
