Update from Gretchen as of 12pm

Hi all it's me Giselle and I talked with Jon and Gretch this afternoon, per Jon, "Our night was great and went well, pretty quiet night switching between bed and chair."
Gretch says "I got to sleep on the bed...Griffin slept with the morphine and then woke up at 8am. Gretchen also continued telling me about the morning, "Today he sat on my lap in the blue chair and ate 1/4 of the blueberry muffin like an apple(prior to this Griffin refused to eat and only with encouragement would he eat a bite or two of buttered noodles or soft cubed carrots).
From the playroom Jon has borrowed a tricycle and Griffin is eyeing it with delight. His pain is still too much to move especially with diaper changes. Gretchen also stated he will eventually walk after chemotherapy starts.
These pictures are from last night, but Gretchen has sent pictures of Griffin from today with big smiles(check back later when Jen posts these pictures). While talking with Gretchen, Griffin had the nurse working over him to prepare another IV line, the nurse was preparing the different sites of his arms with an emla cream(to help numb these areas that she will be accessing with a needle.) His chemotherapy will start today.
Continue to pray for Griffin and the family. Gretchen and Jon continue to check the site and are happy to hear from everyone.
