Wednesday-what an emotional and stressful day! Cody did well all night but woke up at 6am with blood and clots again. Then he had 2 more and so I had to call in. We were both so upset. I also called the GI dr and told him what was going on. I emailed our dr at NYU to see if he could get us in to that specialist and soon. The drs talked and the decision was made to do an endoscopy and colonoscopy and soon. So we are doing it Friday. The GI at Sloan seems to think from the description that it is the colon or rectum. He does not think it is diet. I do not know and will feel better after Friday and maybe they will have something to tell us. Maybe he is being treated the wrong way. Could it be the immodium? It is so frustrating. So I went in to tell Cody and he was so upset. He was supposed to go to the Islander game tomorrow night with his dad and he was going to see his player. After he calmed down, I asked him what was making him so upset-was he scared? His answer, "I won't get to see Richard". That is his player. Well, I made sure that message got to Richard. It breaks my heart. We are hoping he feels well after Friday because the Firemen/Police hockey game is Saturday, we are going to the Islanders practice on Monday and then the Islander game on Tuesday. He has a lot to look forward to. Today I let him take a long nap and then we went driving around and he did pretty well. We rode by his school and went to get a smoothie. We ran into Sue and Emily there so we sat with them. It was a nice afternoon.

Tomorrow he has to prep his bowel and it will be a tough day. Then hopefully we go in early on Friday.
