Friday-Well, we got to the city in great time this morning. We went to the third floor for an EKG to check Cody's heart. A side effect of the new anti fungal affects the heart so thank goodness, all was good there. We met with Dr. O'Reilly. After the chat and visit with him, Cody says he is his favorite doctor. He kinda made us both feel at ease after a rough week. It was a down week for sure. The gagging/dry heaving from his dry throat/thrush is so upsetting. I think we have it under control. He is drinking more and we got a new artificial saliva spray to use and it seems to help. Unfortunately Cody is one of those patients that just takes longer to get over this hump. It is coming but it is slow. This doctor says that by Christmas he should be feeling better. We made it home and we both took a nap and then went to HSE's soccer game and it was cold. It was at 7pm and just damp and cold but Cody wanted to go. It is his social life and I will do my best to get him there. We bundled up and went to the game. Thank goodness they won!Cody fell asleep in the car and had his vomiting episode when we got home. But this time he knew he gagged.

He did get 2 bites of soup down today. We are trying.
