More good news today. Dr. Heym called to let us know that the results came back on Grant's genetic testing. The genetics of his leukemia cells were 1 of the 2 with favorable results. Dr. Heym was very excited about this and told us it was "a reason to celebrate". We need all the reasons to celebrate we can find. This does not change his treatment for the first 30 days, but will effect where we go from there.
This was an especially good day to get this news b/c it had a difficult start for me. I gave Grant a bath this morning and his hair started falling out. This was expected, but was still a hard reality to see and accept. This part will probably be harder on his mama than it is on him. We have an appointment for Grant and Rudy to get their heads buzzed tomorrow. Stay tuned for pictures.

Rudy wrote me earlier today and told me both the good and the bad. He said it was a roller coaster like day as I am sure you've had many of those and many more to come. Hang in there!
