Hello from the Hampton!

We're in Chapel Hill this evening, staying at our home away from home, The Hampton Inn. Grant is already asleep, hopefully for the night (it's 7:45pm)! He had a great morning and was quite a fun kid to be around until late this afternoon he realized that we were staying the night, and staying the night means only one thing, PEG shots! After this realization occurred, he basically became possessed! What an afternoon!

We will do the PEG shots tomorrow morning, and then head home. Jacob has had a fever today, so we are anxious to get home to help Grandma with the sick baby! Eden is enjoying her stay at Grandma's and is at cheerleading practice this evening with her favorite neighbor-friend-cousin, Chloe!

We visited with the McKinney's for little while today. They are still playing the waiting game for Michael's transplant. Please remember them in your prayers.

The best part of the day was that Grant was assigned a Pal! UNC assigns students to help with the pediatric patients during their visits to the clinic. Grant's Pal is a sweet girl named Jane Lee from Roanoke Rapids. She is a junior, and is studying to become a Physicians Assistant. She kept Grant occupied and happy during our whole clinic visit. WOW!!!! She colored with him and read books and ate Cheetos! Too much fun!!!! Jane will be paired with Grant for the rest of the semester, at least, so we are excited to welcome her to Team Super Grant!

That's all from the Hampton tonight. We will post again soon!

Jacob has gone to sleep too- only the 102 degree fever is still present. We think maybe it is an ear infection, Leah had Brady at the doctor today with a double ear infection... can you catch an ear-ache??

Eden went home with Joella because of the fever in our house, and we don't want Eden sick if Jacob is contagious. Jeepers.

It's been a beautiful day here on the island with a nice breeze- a hint of fall in the air.

So, Em, if we don't talk tonight, all is "relatively" well, and we'll see you tomorrow.

Sounds like a fun day! It's wonderful that Grant is going to have his own friend at clinic. I'm sure she'll fall in love with him!
