Still no news from Tuesday's tests!

I know that everyone is anxious to hear news from Tuesday's tests. We are anxious as well, but have not heard anything yet to report. We know that Dr. Blatt was out of the office in conference yesterday and that Bobbi Brooks' nephew Michael McKinney, who is also a patient of Dr. Blatt, had to start chemo again on Tuesday following his bone marrow and spinal tap. So, we are hoping that Dr. Blatt is focusing on Michael, and are patiently awaiting news from Grant's tests.

Please remember Michael and his family in your prayers. He was in remission, so the news for his family on Tuesday was not good news, to say the least. He has lost his sight and is experiencing some paralysis of his facial muscles. He is a sweet 14 year boy who had already been through several surgeries before finally being diagnosed with ALL last August, so his road has already been a very long one. Pray for Michael.

As for Grant, his swelling has gone down considerably in the past few days. He is looking much more like himself and feeling much better. He is even starting to grow a little peach fuzz on his cute little bald head!

So - I will update again when I know more.

Love to you all!

Emily
