No trip this week!

Hello to all! We are enjoying our Tuesday of no travel! Grant will do his medicines at home this week with his nurse, Ms. Janine. We will visit Chapel Hill again next week! Janine will come tomorrow morning and access Grant's port. We are hoping for a smoother ride than our last try! He will do Ara-C at home tomorrow through Saturday.

In general Grant has felt much better since our trip to UNC last Wednesday. He was severely dehydrated and was very nauseous as a result. His blood work showed that he probably was fighting a stomach virus that was causing the severe nausea. Following a long day of fluids he felt much better and was even able to eat some "Chicky Fried Chicken" (Kentucky Fried Chicken) on our trip home. His appetite has been much better this week and we are hoping for no weight loss! He is quite a skinny little man these days.

In other news, our little Eden has been spending the week in Charleston with her Aunt Rachel and Uncle Jason. She is having a blast and has enjoyed helping with Isabelle. We will travel down to SC this weekend to pick her up. Grant is super excited to see Bobo's (Rachel's) house and visit with Kalani - his favorite dog!

Jacob is as wild as humanly possible and spends his days finding all sorts of trouble. If he wasn't just the sweetest kid ever, I would consider sending him back! BUT - he IS the sweetest kid ever, so I guess we'll keep him!

In Hancock family news, Rodney, Leah's husband, found out yesterday that he will begin a new career with Genworth Financial in two weeks. We are all so excited and thrilled for the whole Steelman family! They will be able to complete the purchase of their new dream-home in Rollesville in mid-August!!! Rodney will go back to Raleigh to begin the new job and Leah and the boys will remain on the island until the house is finished. So, summer vacation is now nothing but a party! Gone is the stress of finding a new job! Congratulations Rod!

We have Pioneer Day on Saturday at church. Surely some very funny photos will emerge from this experience! We will post! Until then....
