Day 148 October 30 2009

Friday-Cody had a good night and a good morning other than being poked. He nibbled in food and I will continue to 'force' that in a some small way. Someone from peds (we were not on the peds floor) brought him a huge bag of Halloween candy. That made him feel a little better and he ate a few pieces. The drs came in around 2 and asked if I was sitting down. I started to sweat. But then he says he is kicking us out of here. You can't do that to me and have me panicking even if for 2 seconds. Then we discuss and find out that we are going home without any kind of IV in and that he is on his own for eating! YES, a little happy and a little nervous. He told Cody he was counting on him. I hope he can do this. I have to push the issue and I will but it is hard. I said a few bites of something every hour to get his stomach back in shape. When he does nibble, he does not vomit. At the hospital on Thursday, he ate 3/4 of an ice cream bar and that came up. I know it probably tasted so good and was nice and cold but it was too much. The little bites definitely work. So we will get that into place. We got home around 6:30 and Bobby his drum teacher came and showed us his very ugly costume. It was great!!

So we are glad to be home and tomorrow is Halloween!!
