Emily--we were there this past Monday. Ethan had to see Dr. Monohan because of concerns he may have hemophilia--luckily everything turned out well and we aren't scheduled to return. The new hospital, especially the Pediatric clinic, is amazing!! I'm so thankful that Grant and every other child with cancer has access to such a wonderful facility!!
Wow Grant is getting so big! I am so glad he is doing well.
Boy, he is looking like Kevin these days!
Thank you for sharing the pictures. Love Ms. Cindy's pearls. Tell her I said Hello - miss her. Hope she's there next time I go by for a visit.
Emily, I happened to see your blog b/c I was curious about the group Brenda Caton just joined on faceboo and saw a link to it when I was clicking around. We are scheduled to begin renting their house in mid-June. They are such nice people. She also told us about CCSA and we went in and met Wendy. Our girls are both dancers and piano students here in VA, so we are excited to get started with CCSA down there.
I couldn't believe when I looked at your blog and saw the picture of your son with Dr. Julie Blatt. She treated our oldest daughter, Julia, for four years from '98-'02 for a rare tumor disorder. We moved away in '02 (and Julia thankfully was released from care), but we have stayed in touch all these years. She is an awesome doctor. We are going to stop in and see her and the clinic when we get back down that way. Everyone in that place treated us so well and kept our spirits up for all those years. You should feel really good about Grant being seen there.
I will keep you all in my prayers. Grant is precious. -- Lori Elfers
Hi, Lori. Thanks so much for your sweet comment. We, too, love Dr. Blatt! She is our very own miracle worker, and will forever hold a sacred place in our hearts! You will be amazed at the new clinic. It is wonderful. We were sad last week when we visited to see that they were tearing down the Gravely Building, where the old pediatric clinic was located. It was a pitiful building, but it is where they saved our son, so we loved it anyway!
I look forward to seeing you at CCSA. I have been teaching music there since Wendy opened her Morehead City studio in 2000. It is like a second home to me, and I'm sure you will come to love Wendy and our CCSA family, as well!
I am so glad to hear that your daughter is well. As we are approaching the end of Grant's treatment protocol, I find great comfort in success stories! In so many ways I can't wait to be done...but in others it is a very scary time!
Hopefully we will meet soon!
Thanks again!
Emily
