Day 60 August 4, 2009

Tuesday-Cody was up at around 4 am. Later he told me he was anxious about the appt at Sloan this morning. He tried to sleep but just could not. At one point, he asked me to lie with him in the twin bed. We cuddled which was really nice. He is so sweet. We got to our appointment and he was great and so was the visit! All of his counts were satisfactory and after we saw our doctor we waited to see one of our nurses, Julie. He was happy to see her on the outside. Dr. Kernan initially said we could go home next Tuesday but after telling her about how hard it is to eat and cook here, she thinks that maybe on Friday/Saturday. We saw a picture of Jazzy all groomed and it makes us more excited to get home. After the appt, we were told we could go to the cafeteria and Cody got some bacon. As we were sitting in the Sloan cafeteria, he said "I feel like I am on top of the world!" We went downtown a little, by cab and went to the Container Store to get a pill box that the drs recommended to get. It will keep us organized. We did a little shopping and then came back to the room to chill. We took a walk again around 4 to the park nearby and got ice cream. I made the mistake of letting Cody go into Duane Reade, the drug store and he loaded up on snacks. We will need an extra suitcase to get home.
He is a different person. I can't wait to get him home for everyone to see this. He is truly amazing and a trooper. Life is good!
Before I end this, I went downstairs to get something to eat. I saw the girls all standing in a circle. I thought they were going to dance or something. Then I thought someone looked famous and I realized it was Paula Abdul. I ran back upstairs to get Cody. He was thrilled to see her and we took a few photos. Great way to end a great day! Fun!
