Tuesday-we got up early today and went in for our appt at Sloan. It did not start off too well and they poked him 6x to try to get blood. They were able to get an IV but not blood return. So he got a finger stick and they really squeezed it out of him. Then when the antibiotic was finished, they got some blood. He is a trooper but I know sometimes it really hurts when they are fishing around in there. He has small veins and I think he needs a break. We were worried about the weight and it did not show on the scales. They are ok with it since he is eating. I know Cody was hoping he gained but he did not. He was bummed. But he is eating so let's hope it continues which I think it will. He tried shrimp tonight but that just did not do it for him. Still potatoes and now tonight also had some chicken-with tabasco of course!
