Run, Grant, Run

Last week was a really great week for Grant. He was feeling good (his stomach wasn't distended), eating well, and had lots of energy. One day we walked to a neighborhood playground for my exercise. It's about 2 miles one way. After we had played there for a while, Grant decided he wanted to run on the way back. That crazy kid RAN the whole way home. I kept asking if he wanted to ride on the stroller for a rest, but he just kept running. It actually made me so happy for him that he was working so hard sweat was pouring down his face. He has felt GREAT!
That's why it was so hard to go to the clinic today for his scheduled visit. Everything went as expected; he did great with everything except accessing his port. But, he did get his chemo and start his steroids again. Hopefully, he will have another great month as we begin to celebrate his birthday. Yes, it's not just a one-day celebration. We took cookies to the clinic today to celebrate his birthday there since we will not be back for another 4 weeks. He was very excited to share his cookies with all of his friends (nurses).
