day 91 September 4, 2009

Friday-Today was a very busy day. We started off at our appt nice and early. It was very productive and all was good. We are increasing his med for diarrhea and hopefully that will work. On the way home, Cody got a pair of those sneaker/shoes out that are for improving circulation. MBT's I think they are called. His dad has them and was with us and got them for him. We then got to see Nicole and we went to mini golf with her. It is one of the things Cody can do and likes to do. Then we went to get pizza at the beach in Northport with Nicole and her parents. I thought it might be too much for one day, but Cody did it. We took our IV bag with us. He did not eat and had diarrhea a few times but he was a trooper. He could not keep his eyes open on the ride home but he did it. It was a full day, probably the most he has done in a long time. I am proud of him.

Something you may have forgotten but in honor of our favorite soldier that is away, you can tie a yellow ribbon around a tree for him.

Also September is Pediatric Cancer AwarenessMonth. The color is yellow too.
