day 119 October 1, 2009

Thursday-We had a rough night of several bathroom visits and little sleep. We were told we would go at 4 but lo and behold, they came for us at 11:30. Cody was in the procedure room at 1:00. He was upbeat going in. We heard about an hour and 15 minutes later that they did several biopsies on inflamed areas of his stomach, colon and intestines. It was not a horrible looking outsome but something is wrong. We will know from the biopsies whether it is an infection, virus or gvhd-graft vs host disease, the rejection. Once we know, we will begin proper treatment. When we talked with the doctor, she and I both agreed it was best to stay here tonight. It was 5:30 and one more night here would not be a bad idea. Well, this did not sit well with Cody and he was very upset....with me. He cried and was being short with me. Once he settled down, he apologized and it took all I could to get it out but I told him I know he is scared and I know I am the one he takes everything out on and it is ok. He cried and asked me not to cry but it was hard. I made sure he knew it was ok to cry. In a way, I am glad he cried and that he saw me cry.

Now we have to wait until tomorrow or most likely Monday. We'll keep praying and he will keep fighting. He has to win this.
