Thursday-So this morning I was up early and I met with the person, Nancy, from Friends Of Karen. This is another foundation that helped me early on with my mortgage and with my car payment. They also helped with my electric bill and pay for my parking and tolls and mileage into the city. It was a huge help. They have their annual event on Aug 3rd which is where they get a lot of donations. It is in the city and at a rooftop place. They want me to speak at the event. So today we met and chatted and we are bringing my neighbors and good friends, Craig, Sue and Emily. My brother Roy or sister in law Veronica may fly up for the event too.

Then as she was here I checked my email and it sounds as if the drs all approved our flight! Now the girl is trying to find the pilots. I have a lot to do to prepare and to make this happen. It will not be a piece of cake but we will do it.

We are going for this procedure tomorrow morning where the dr is basically looking at Cody's anus and looking at the fistula. You cannot touch it there without pain so it is best to do it this way. They are going to try to see if there is inflammation inside as we are trying to cut down and off of some of the meds so that more healing can take place. We have to be there at 7 a.m. and that means we are up at 5 and on the road at 6. Well, I will be anyway. Should be an interesting morning but at least Cody does not have to wait all day and not eat or drink.

So let's hope it all looks good down there and nothing stops us from going.
