Hey everyone- just a quick update. Grant had a very good day at the clinic. His counts were all better than last week, and he doesn't have to wear the mask everywhere! Still low counts, but better as far as infection probability. After the morning with his chemo and checkup, we left and Grant got to go to Build a Bear and he made the cutest policeman bear you've ever seen! We'll get a picture on tomorrow.
Then, Leah's house came next, and we got to wish Leah happy birthday! Brady was asleep, but we got Jackson and Leah to head to the park to feed the ducks with us for a while. Much fun!! All too soon, we headed home, got some tacos for the hungry boy, and arrived safely home without any nausea! Fabulous.
So- last week of prednisone, and hopefully the swelling will begin to subside. Grant said he wasn't looking forward to being a fat, bald boy. We told him he'd still be adorable- but hair is still in place for the moment! Amazing how well he is doing with all the changes-
OK- bed time. We'll update tomorrow.
Love you all.
Susan

I met your mom at the Relay for Life this past weekend. My oldest, Michael (15 yrs) also has Leukemia. We live in Newport and he is treated in Chapel Hill also. Dr. Blatt is also his doctor, we love her and he rest of the staff in the clinic. He was diagniosed back in August and he didn't like it when he lost his hair, but it has come back and is very soft.

You hang in there!
