Friday-We got up nice and early. Cody slept well but I was too worried about him. I did not have the necessary stuff I needed for the night so I was worried. The pump they gave him for his IV fluids was rather loud too. Cody finally had a bowel movement this morning without blood. We had to do the laundry at the Ronald house (part of the reason it is so cheap-no maid service) so we had to wait for it. The shuttles were all covered with snow so we decided it was best to walk to few blocks to Sloan. We would have waited for a cab so we hauled our suitcase on wheels and hiked the few blocks to Sloan. Now luckily, I had some winter coats in the car but we did not have gloves or boots. We took our time and we go there relatively dry and not freezing. Once there, we discussed the plan and they checked Cody's blood again and he was fine. He had a bowel movement there but he forgot to look so not sure if there was blood in it. Is this what teen's do??? UGH! We left there around 1:30 and got home around 2:30. The roads were clear but there was a lot of snow blowing around. Hard to believe we got dumped on again. Once home, he had another bloody stool. Still nothing has changed so unless it gets worse, we will be here at home and not eating. It is tough. He is obsessed with it. He went to play his video game and that was broken. So we managed to get him a new one. I feel so bad and he was so bummed and upset. We are trying and I am being kinda hard but he has to not eat. I spoke to the psychiatrist there today and asked her to talk to Cody but we left before she came back around. We will touch base again on Tuesday. So let's hope tonight goes well and we can continue to stay here this weekend. Oh I hope so!

Hope my teacher friends enjoyed the day home and have a good 3 day weekend. Drive carefully out there everyone!
