We're coming home!
Aside from the fact that Grant is freaking out about having to have his port de-accessed, its been a fine morning! Hopefully the needle will be out soon and the "mad spell" will see its end.
We are on strict instructions for no visitors for a while, so please call and say hello. Grant will have his counts read again by home health on Monday, and hopefully after that he will be able to venture out in public and say hello to all of his friends and family!
Love to you all!

About Grant
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!

I am glad to hear your counts are on the rise... It's too hot to do much outside anyways... Our thoughts and prayers remain with you. Michael and Kristi are headed up this afternoon and he will be admitted after clinic tomorrow for inpatient chemo this week. They will also be moving forward for plans of the transplant at the beginning of September. Looks like you will miss eachother again....
Emily,
Let us know when Grant is feeling well enough for some of Janet's cheese yeast rolls. She wants to make some but wants to wait until he is rady for them.

Hi Emily, I just wanted to let you know I love reading your families journal. You & I met very briefly at Relay For Life this past May. I am Kaseys mom, Rhonda. Every time I read something you, your mom or a family member has written, it continues to make me believe!!!! You guys are such a STRONG, LOVING SUPPORTIVE family. You are blesed to have each other. I'm so glad to read Grant is doing well. Take Care, Wallers
Hey Rhonda! Thanks for your sweet note. It means so much to know you have endured all of this with Kasey. Sometimes when I look at Grant and he seems so fragile (and bald!) I think about how beautiful Kasey looked this year at Relay! (For those who do not know Kasey- she is a leukemia survivor! Sweet as they come!) So, all of the conditions of treatment will pass, and Grant will gain weight and grow hair, and play hard soon enough.
Please tell Kasey that she is also my hero, as you are too! You've done it- and we can too. See you soon!
