Crafty Tuesday!

Grant is feeling well today after a rough start with home health this morning! His butterflies got the best of him while he was having his labs drawn this morning, and we both ended up needing showers! All that needs to be said is "red kool aid"!

The good news is that his counts are up and we can start chemo again tomorrow! He will have another long day. We will skip the spinal tap this time and will do Ara-C and Cytoxin. The Cytoxin requires that we spend most of the day in the clinic, so we will probably be in clinic for 6 to 8 hours. We did this medicine the day that Carter was born as well. Five weeks pass by so quickly!

Grant had a great time painting the letters of his name this morning. We are hoping that the new decor will inspire him to sleep in his bed once again. We have had a hard time with sleeping arrangements since his diagnosis. His bedroom is upstairs and he doesn't like being that far away from mom and dad, so he sleeps on the couch most nights! We hope this habit doesn't last too much longer!

We will be leaving for Chapel Hill in a few hours. Eden and Jake will spend the night with my mom and dad. We also send our thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Mother Teresa for the new camera we received last night. Ours met an untimely demise several weeks ago in an unfortunate collision with the tire of Grandma's van! We are very grateful for our new one. It takes great photos! My parents are the best in all parent-dom!

We will post more following our appointment tomorrow. Until then, we hope all of our eastern NC friends enjoy this long-awaited rainy weather! Grow grass, grow!
