Jacob was such a sweet boy with me yesterday. He especially liked going to the dump and handing me the bags of garbage out of the back of the truck!!
It's been two months in a row that I haven't made the trek to Chapel Hill... I think it is a good sign that my nerves will allow Em and Grant to go by themselves. One day this will all just be a "happy" memory! (I'm thinking now that Grant did not want to get the flu shot yesterday although he get poked and prodded every month... it just was not on his regular list of things to do at the clinic. Funny.)
Grant was diagnosed with ALL T-Cell Leukemia on April 26, 2007. He had been sick almost all winter, getting several ear infections, colds and coughs, strep throat, stomach bugs, fevers, and general feel-bad-all-overness. When he just could not get better, and earned the nickname "The Hulk" because he was starting to look so green, his Mama knew that something was not right. After another trip to the doctor, a blood test was ordered, and within a few hours he and his family were on their way to UNC Children's Hospital in Chapel Hill, one of the top pediatric oncology centers in the nation. The wonderful doctors there are already making progress, and beating this disease.
Anyone who knows Grant knows that he loves his Super Heroes - Superman, Spiderman, Wolverine, Batman, Power Rangers, and on and on. He doesn't just love them, he loves to become them, often dressing up and acting like the Hero of the Day. I think we can all agree that Grant is going to be our favorite Super Hero, and he is going to prove to everyone just how strong and invincible he is!
