Wednesday-So up nice and early after a few hours of sleep. I was anxious to get to Sloan. They ended up running all the tests and added an echocardiogram. All things were negative, no evidence of a clot and we would have to wait for the echo results. The last thing we did was a chest xray. Cody walked in alone and came out smiling. The tech that did the xray was 23 years old and she was a survivor having the same leukemia Cody had at around the same age. She showed him her port scars and her feeding tube scar. He was so upbeat. I told him those are the kinds of people he should stay connected with. We were there all day, getting home around 7:30 pm. Cody ended up sleeping most of the day throughout all the tests and infusions. He was such a trooper. One of the times I stepped out to go eat lunch I think, our dr came in and she had 2 masks for him. He was thrilled. He has been trying to convince her to let him go race his car at the track. She actually gave him the same ones he was looking at online. He cannot wait to go race on Friday night. It will be a really long night and a late one so I will let him sleep on Friday I suppose. He is so happy to be going. It will be good with him to hang with the guys too.
We finally got home and I had to run the med that I did right before the chest pains started. He was really worried. He then asked if he could sleep with me 'just in case'. I know how scared I was so it has to be so tough for him. Today he said it felt like a huge cage was sitting on his chest.
So we really do not know what caused it. Maybe it was a bad medicine or something, who knows. But he is better, much better, thank God. We are looking forward to a good night of sleep.
