The begining!

So it has been a rough few months at the Groscost house. Critter has had on and off ear infections since February and just hasn't been his happy cheerful self. In March we finally had tubes put in his ears to help with the infections. This helped a little and we just thought it would take a few days or a week to get his cheerful disposition back. Well it never came!

Three weeks after the tubes he seemed to be getting worse again so Monday morning Niki took critter in to see our pediatrician. After what seemed like another "It just might take some time" visit our doctor said he would check the iron levels in his blood. Five minutes later they were on their way to get a C.B.C. test.

I will never forget the sound of Nikis voice when she said I needed to come home immediately. She said our worst fears were confirmed Critter has cancer and we were on our way up to Primary Childrens Hospital.
