day 239 January 29, 2010

Friday-It was a good day. Cody continues to eat and feel good. He did physical therapy and got a foot massage! He is really getting spoiled! The candy cart comes here on Friday so he loaded up. We both took a long nap today as one of his machines was beeping all night. He stayed up till 9 pm and all looks good for our leave for home on Sunday. Nothing is coming back as far as the cultures goes which is a good thing. The meds stop tomorrow so let's hope all goes well.

Casey called and he got accepted into Ranger school. He leaves to go to Ft Benning in Columbus GA on Feb 8. This is an intense 9 week program. He is very excited. I know it will be hard for Nicole to be without him once again but this is what he has been waiting for. I hope Cody is well enough to attend his graduation in April. I am very proud of both of my boys. Way to go Casey!

We heard today that the little girl from NYC, Jasmina passed away this week. She was at NYU with us and we connected with her here at Sloan. She had a tough time and had a rare form of leukemia. She was 6 years old and was a tough fighter too. My thoughts are with her mom and family.
