Happy 4th of July!

Hi, everyone and happy 4th to you all!

We are back at home today. On Monday, Grant did bloodwork with our home-health nurse, Ms. Janine. It was his first time having his port accessed at home and he was a real trooper. We sang "Fuzzy Wuzzy" and all was well. His results came back that he was still very neutropenic and anemic, so Dr. Blatt cancelled chemo for this week. Instead, we did a blood transfusion at the clinic on Tuesday. Getting blood makes for a long day, but it also makes for a much happier little patient. Grant already seems to be feeling much better and even has some color back in his lips today.

We started off our day today with a quick visit with Kevin's Grandaddy Earl who is a World War II veteran and very proud American. We wished him a great 4th and picked up Eden, who had spent the night with Marmee (Kevin's mom, Bonnie). Bonnie takes care of both her mother and father. Nanna, (Evelyn - Kevin's grandma) suffers from Alzheimer's and now lives with Bonnie. They spend several days a week over at Earl's home taking care of him. Marmee is very busy, but loves visits with her sweet grandkids!

We have spent the rest of the day playing in the water. Grant and Kevin took a short boat ride with Joella's family this morning, and then came back to Grandma's. We then spent a couple of hours up at Aunt Drexel's pool with Aly's family and Joel. To top off our afternoon, we visited Glenda's dock and threw the cast net in hopes of getting some mullets for supper! Good times, but no supper! That is OK though since Grandma Susan is having everyone over for a cook-out tonight at the Hotel Hancock! The extended generations will gather together for lots of food and even more fun!

We will post pictures from the gala event! Until then, Happy 4th to one and all!
