Good morning! Thankfully there is not much new to report today. Grant has had a very long week of much medicine! He is doing great though, and we are very excited to have the weekend off.
This has been Grant's first week of at-home chemo. He has done great, but has had more nausea because of the amount of medicine he has been receiving. Yesterday was a rough day, but it was his last day for this time, so we are looking forward to improvement today. He already felt much better last night.
Let me also take the time to thank Allen Petit and the Downeast Band for sponsoring a fundraiser in our behalf at their Spring Concert. I have known Allen since I was in middle school band and he worked with Mr. Bottoms over in Morehead City. He (Allen) has been a faithful watcher of Grant's page and wanted to do something to help, so he organized this fundraiser at his concert. We are very appreciative of his help and of the kind offerings made by so many of our friends at the concert. I keep telling Grant's doctors that we just live in the best place!!! I can't explain how blessed we feel that we chose to live and raise our family in the place where we grew up. We could not do this - fight this cancer - anywhere else! You all continue to buoy us up with your faith, your kindness, and your help.
So, today Eden has her end of season softball tournament. Zac Dart (Aly's 3 year old - and a baseball fanatic) is one excited boy to be able to see some serious ball today! Our boys are going to see Kevin's mom so we can watch Eden. Its a little too hot for Grant at the ball field today.
We will be traveling back to Chapel Hill on Monday evening. Grant will have more of a normal visit this week - spinal tap and medicines, but no 8 hour observation! I will post more as we know more!

Hope the day is fun for all! Love you too- Raleigh is supposed to be 100 today.
Hello Emily, I just wanted to say Hi. We are so happy to know that overall Grant has done well with his treatments. We check his page everday. Landon and Joel both got there hair buzzed last week to support Grant. We will continue to pray for all of you!
love ya, Stephanie Howard
Stephanie - You're so sweet. I imagine those were two pretty blonde heads with those new haircuts!
Emily~ I often tell people up here that we live in the best county! Carteret county may be small but the people here have the BIGGEST hearts!
Michael also has to go over for a spinal, but not sure what time. He has come through the chemo and is doing very good. Now we are just waiting for his counts to come up - until then we are camped out here on the 5th floor.
Maybe will see you on Tuesday.
