No Pokes, Just a Party



Grant wrapped up his 5 days of steroids on Friday and had a pretty good weekend. His stomach is distended but, hopefully, that will go away quickly. He is still very emotional and it goes both ways. One minute he is screaming at everyone and the next he is being as sweet as can be. Trent doesn't understand why he tells him he loves him so many times a day. ;)

We've been celebrating his birthday at almost every opportunity. So, this weekend we had a little family party. Of course, he had a blast. And he loves every chance to eat sweets. Unfortunately, he does have a sweet tooth. But, it's a double-edged sword. That was something that went away and he didn't want anything sweet at the beginning of this process. So, it's nice when you see something go back to "normal".

Grant's diagnosis coincides with the opening of the clinic we go to in Grapevine. So, today we attended a birthday celebration for the clinic. Grant was so excited to go to the clinic just to play with his friends. No pokes, no medicine, not even a blood pressure check. It was very humbling to be there with some that are walking through this with us. All but one of the children there today were ahead of Grant in their treatment schedule. However, all of them are having or have had recent complications or delays. I am so grateful for all of you that continue to pray Grant through. We still have a long way to go.
