Happy Good Friday!
So Cody started back soccer!! He is working with a trainer at International Soccer Academy.  He lasted for 3 weeks and sprained his ankle.  He took some time off and went back this week and did a last kick and got a groin strain.  So he is taking it easy and going to physical therapy.  He is planting peppers and still enjoying his time with the Islanders.  He is doing well in school and it is hard to believe he will be finishing his 2nd year.
Healthwise, he is great!  He is back on track and eating more than ever.  He has more stamina and feels good.  The bouts of nausea have not occurred for some time now.  He is going to the long term team this week so I will report back on that.  He will also be going to his kidney specialist and hopefully decreasing his medication that he is on now.  We need to get him off his anti depressants and move on!!
We are keeping tabs on Casey, as he is overseas again.  We get to chat and Skype with him which makes me happy. We are planning on a trip at the end of June and are all connecting in FL.  It will be nice to be all together again.
Happy spring to everyone!

Wow, it is the first day of Spring!  We have been very busy and Cody feels great!  He has started working with a soccer trainer and LOVES it. His comment was: I felt nervous when I got there but once I touch the ball, I knew I was back.  So cute and so touching.  He never ceases to amaze me.
We spent the day with a recording studio and they put together a promotional clip for Contractors For Kids.  It is awesome.  We have gotten amazing feedback and I hope it helps them with some funding.
Cody is back doing some hockey games and is almost finished with his 2nd year of school.  I am so proud of him.
Casey is overseas and we worry daily.  Nicole was here visiting so we enjoyed some time with her.  We are all planning a trip for the end of June to be together at my dad's and brothers.  I am looking forward to that!
I pray for our lives to continue this way and only get better.  Our friend, Meg, is finished with chemo and we pray she is on her road to recovery.  Matisse is in the maintenance phase of his treatment and is doing well too!  On a sad note, we pray for the Bellero's who lost their son in a car accident.  He was just 20.
Thank you for reading and keeping us in your prayers.  XO
