Day 61 August 5, 2009

Wednesday- Well, after emailing the doctor back and forth, she said we could go to the Museum of Natural History. So we grabbed a very heavy wheelchair and a cab and headed across town to the museum. We avoided the crowded areas and Cody really enjoyed it. He walked a little and rode a little. We walked along Central Park West and headed back to the room. We were really tired. We hung out in the room and then took a walk later in the day and then in the evening. We walked up to Sloan. Cody wanted to say goodbye to his night nurse, Erin. He was always asleep when she did her rounds and then so groggy in the morning when she left us at 7:30 a.m. I think if Cody was near her age he would have proposed. She is a tall, dark haired, green eyed Irish girl. So sweet too. We will have to go see her from time to time. I will have to get a picture of her for him. I know we will be back there at some point so we will see her then.

We both crashed early and are resting and cleaning tomorrow so that we are ready to go when the drs give us the green flag. On Friday he has physical therapy and occupational therapy until around 5 so IF we get discharged, we will have our neighbor Sue come for us early Saturday morning. Who wants to sit in Friday night summer traffic??? Cody already told me he won't be able to sleep that night. We'll deal with that.
