Thursday-Today was a day of ups and downs and emotions. Cody woke up feeling blah and upset about not going home and then took a nap. I talked to him about everything before he fell asleep but it did not help too much. He woke up and his dad was here so we played a game and he was fine. Then the team came around and explained about the rejection and why he needs to be here. The steroids are scary and he needs to be monitored. He is worried about his body puffing up and especially his cheeks. I feel so helpless. He gets very down and starts asking the questions..what did he do to deserve this, this should be happening to criminals and not him, it is really sad. I met with a few drs and the psychiatrist and asked for more meds to help his emotional state while we are here. I think once we get home, he will be happier. He is being so strong and so brave through all this. Let's face it, there is a war going on in his body. He will win it but it is draining him right now. There was some talk of us leaving on Saturday so let's hope that happens....stay warm
