It is hard to believe that another year is coming to an end. I have been reflecting a lot and cannot believe what we have gone through. Our lives seem somewhat back to a sort of normal state and I pray it stays there.

Cody worked with the Islanders today and he looks great! I wanted to post the pics.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!

We have our tree up and the decorations out..bring on the holiday season!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am sitting here tonight and Cody is working at the Islander game. I left at 8 this morning for work and have not seen him. He had a busy night last night at the new rc race track and then all day today basically at the Islander game and then back again on Friday. I was just reading last year's post and the year before. So happy we are home and doing nothing. We were invited to go to a few friends but are choosing to be home. I am making the whole meal tomorrow for Cody and I.

I found out Casey is coming for a few days at Christmas. Cody does not know this. Casey and Nicole are coming for a few days and it will be nice to have them. It was be a huge surprise for Cody.

We have a lot to be thankful for and I wish each and every one of you a special Thanksgiving with lots of love and healthy thoughts.

Saturday-Yesterday was Veteran's Day. Thanks to all those that served and continue to serve to protect us here. A very special thank you goes out to my boy, Casey. Your job scares me every day but I am very proud of you and I know you will always do the right thing and stay safe.

Yesterday we went to Sloan after not being there for 6 weeks. The weight is stable, not really gaining but we are trying. Cody gets only one can of feeds which is 250 calories. It is easy to cut that out. Do what I do, eat a bag of chips or a bowl of ice cream. We are allowed to cut that out and are slowly cutting back on the fluids. He is definitely drinking better. He got a few more immunization including tetanus and started hepatitis. He is a bit sore to say the least. He was a trooper and got all three at the same time, meaning three cute nurses and one assistant one.

On Tuesday, he had a tough day. A loose stool did not allow him to get to the bathroom in time while he was at school. He was humiliated to say the least. It was before class so he took the VERY long walk back to the car and I was able to meet him at home. Could have been caused by the senokot but not likely. More likely it was caused from the sugar free gummy bears he ate. Sugar free foods can do this because of the additives. He got the sugar free ones because he likes the texture better. We had to go back that evening for an alumni meeting and he was fine. I know some kids noticed and made a few comments as he walking but not any he knew. He went back to class on Thursday and we are kinda just not talking about it. He did tell the drs yesterday which I am shocked but this is where his support is. He continues to amaze me with his strong outlook.

We also got a call from Casey and he and Nicole are surprising him for Christmas. They are only coming for a few days and we will have to share that time with Nicole's family. Cody will be happy and any time I get with my son is appreciated. Now I have to keep it a secret!

Enjoy the upcoming holiday season my friends!

Well, we survived the wedding weekend and it was a stressful one!! Started with a changed fight and that day ended with Cody and I driving from Atlanta to Savannah-4 hours. We made it and did not miss the rehearsal dinner. Wedding day was beautiful. The weather cooperated and was perfect! Everyone looked amazing! Reception was fun but ended on a hectic note but everyone was fine in the end. I would have liked longer time there and to visit with my son and his wife but we will do that another time. We walked around Savannah and it is a pretty little town. Hope to get back. Hope Halloween was fun for all!!
