More good news...

Yesterday was day 1 of Grant's chemo treatments. It hasn't made him feel bad like chemo can do. For some reason, kids usually don't get as sick as adults do. He will have treatments on days 1, 4, and 8 (or something like that). The Dr. said that maybe, perhaps, if he's lucky, he might be able to come home for a few days between days 4 and 8. Emily will have to be very cautious with him. One of the things that chemo does is kill the white blood cells, which means he is very prone to other sicknesses. So, in other words, he may be home but won't really be able to see lots of visitors. :o( That's ok, though. We'll do whatever it takes to get the little man healthy again!

Joella: Jay and Amy here. Dropping a line to let you know Grant and the family are in our prayers. Let Kevin and Em know if they need anything here on this end to NOT hesitate to ask. We are here for them and if he needs something we cant do we will do our best to find someone that can. They are not in this alone!!!
