Lids4Kids!

My fabulously talented roommate from ECU - Jennifer Licko - has graciously invited me to perform at her annual Lids4Kids Concert in Swansboro next week. Jenny lives in Brazil and is an awesome Celtic musician. You can listen to her music at www.sheltonmusic.com....

Lids4Kids helps to raise money for kids with cancer. Admission to the concert is free, however donations will be gladly accepted. Joella and I will be doing 2 songs.... I'm coming out of retirement for this concert. It should be interesting!

The concert will be at the Swansboro United Methodist Church next Friday, December 9th at 7:30pm.

In other performing news, SuperGrant and his super sister Eden along with his super cousins Jacy and Zoey will be performing in their piano recital on Sunday. They are all very excited! Joella and I will be doing our recital this year with Niki Lewis' piano students. We have loved having Niki with us at CCSA and are looking forward to our Christmas recital!

The Ward Christmas Program will also be on the 20th at 6:30. The Hancock girls will be singing for this one, along with the ward choir and our friends, the Bates'.

I will also accompany the Smyrna kids on their annual Christmas Caroling field trip next week. We get to visit the nursing homes Down East. Its always so much fun! This is Grant's first caroling trip as he was too sick last Decemeber to make the trip. We are very excited! Eden has aged out this year! She's a grown-up 3rd grader, you know!

Music, music everywhere!

Please remember Grant's friend William in your prayers. He had a reaction to his chemo yesterday and has been taken off of the clinical trial he was participating in. William has already done a bone marrow transplant and is now doing a new type of radiation at UNC. He is their very first patient to do this protocol, and he is quite the little trooper! His family is very devestated that he has been removed from his trial as that leaves them not knowing what medicines he will be taking now.... Its extremely complicated! Please pray for William and his parents Mark and Amy and little sister and all of the Bunn family.

I'll second the request for prayers for William Bunn. He has been through so much this year, and now with the reaction to the chemo, he is back at square one with how to proceed now.

We are so grateful for this season of year, and for the relative ease that Grant has had with his treatments lately. He too is quite the warrior- not many of us would take the daily drugs as well as the monthly spinal taps and iv chemo as routinely as Grant does. We take for "grant"ed that he remains so normal in his playing and school work. Many of the children with leukemia have problems with fragile bones and learning problems. Grant has been spared these challenges.

Thanks for all the support this past year to all of Emily and Kevin's friends who have followed Grant's progress. You sure are some good people!!
