Gray conquered his fourth day of chemo in a row! We’re very proud of him! He acted alot like his “old self” this morning! No complaints for that! In these pictures, you can see Grayson trying to give one of his stuffed friends some of his IV medicine! He just wants to share! Gray did have to have two bone scans this afternoon, though. He did fine on the first one but freaked out a bit during the second one. I can’t say I blame him. We were excited to find out, today, that Gray will be released from the hospital tomorrow evening after he completes one more chemo treatment followed by some IV fluids!!!! Thank you all for praying that we would get to go home. So ready for some family time! We are a bit nervous about taking our baby boy home, though. We had to meet with the doctor today and go over a bunch of procedures before we can care for Gray on our own. I know we will be able to do it but it’s definitely going to take some getting used to. Just trying to keep Grayson germ free while his immune system is low and making sure we care for him correctly. It’s alot to handle. We’re ready for a bit of normalcy though. Please continue to pray that the transition from hospital to home will be an easy one and that we won’t be too anxious about Gray’s care. Our family needs to be back together. We know we’re standing at the beginning of our journey through cancer treatment but we’re ready to fall back into some form of a routine.

Today, Gray enjoyed an Elmo Cookie with his Noni! It was a gift from the Pilcher’s…

He also gave his friend Becky a ride down the hallway!

And Gray received some Lincoln Logs from Kara! Thanks Karaboo! Here…he is throwing them…

We all had a very busy and energetic day! Gray had alot of visitors and it was good for all of us to see him up and wanting to move. The love we are feeling from all our friends, family and even those of you around the world that we’ve never met has truly been a source of strength for our family. We couldn’t be more blessed to have so many people thinking of and praying for us at all times. Our days may be a roller coaster of emotions at times and we currently try our best to live in the moment but we’re still hanging onto our faith through all of this and believing with each of you for a miracle! Thank you for loving our family so much.
