Happy Anniversary today and happy birthday tomorrow Em!
9 years ago it was a-freezing in Washington DC when Em and Kevin were married. They were such a beautiful couple- so excited and so ready to begin their eternal relationship. Too wonderful for words.
32 years ago tonight Pa and I had our last night together as a couple with no children!! We went to see a movie, and I was kinda nervous about having a baby. After a good night's sleep, I woke up in labor, and Emily Marlowe Hancock was born at 5:03 pm during the half-time of the Sugar Bowl... my doctor waited until half-time to deliver her... I was too foolish to fuss at him about the delay!!!
Grant has been a little stinker this weekend with the addition of the dexamethosone for the past 3 days. He's just so sad... cries for long extended periods. Fortunately, he will finish this 5 day pulse of dex tomorrow.
So, a little while after Joella wrote this she came over to my house and stole Grant for a couple of hours. I'm thinking that was my present. OR - is the impending birth any day now of baby Charlie James Morris my birthday present? OR - did she actually order something that hasn't come in yet? I'm so confused!? ;)
It definitely has been an interesting weekend. I emailed Dr. Blatt to get the low-down on the dexamethasone. It basically just makes Grant SO SAD! I am looking forward to a response.
So - thanks for the happy wishes! I hope today is indeed a happy day.
My prayer for your family for the new year is for happy times, family times, friendship times, and most of all God times (when you feel the presence of our Lord in your life --- holding you up, walking beside you, and giving you strength for the journey). Michael's "Jama"
Happy belated Birthday and Anniversary! I can only imagine what you wished for!!! ( besides sleep) We wish you all a Happy New Year! You really are our super hero "Super Grant"!
Much love and prayers, Chad, Wendi, Chase, Claire and Cole Howard
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!

Happy birthday Emily!
DX use to make Michael very hungry and sad/edgie. Sometime the littlest things, like his youngest brother talking to loud, would get on his nerves.
Happy New Year
