Friday-Well, I am happy to say Cody is feeling better than he has felt in a long time. I hope it stays that way and he continues to get better. Today he scared the crap out of me. He usually sleeps late. Today he comes walking out of his room around 9 and I thought I was seeing a ghost. He scared me. He smiled and was up. We hung out most of the morning and then we went to get groceries. He came with me and picked out a few things. He came home and ate hot italian sausage. And he ate one whole one!! He was so happy. We then went to the car shop to get the new shocks for his truck so he hung out there for a little while. He loves those guys. It is good for him. We went to Subway then and he ate there. He is doing good with the eating. We had a nice conversation there. I asked him if he ever thought about all this. I asked him if he remembered that first day at Huntington Hospital and he said no. He said he did remember at Schneider's when we told him he had cancer and he lost it. He said he thought he was going to die and he got upset. He asked me if I thought he was going to also. He then said it has changed him and he now does not worry about the little things. He said when he hears people complaining or talking about problems, he thinks they really do not have problems. He said he still feels so lucky. It does change you and it changed him.
Our friends continue to amaze me. We got a card and a mass card from a teacher I work with. It came out of nowhere and we are so lucky. We also got a letter from a friend that Cody played soccer with. His family sent a donation to "Friends of Karen". They are a foundation that helps us with some of our bills. So special, thanks Amy!!!! We are truly blessed. With all that we go through on a daily basis, it is nice to get the mail and see how many friends think of us!
Cody feels great!! It brings me to tears. I hope to God he stays that way and we can make this trip. I hope to God that Casey passes. Keep your fingers crossed! And your toes for that matter!!
A friend from high school that reconnected with had a devastating loss. Her husband had leukemia. We had talked about all this as her husband was preparing for a bone marrow transplant next month. They had a memorial service for him and I hope she and her girls are hanging in there. It was kinda a shock as he was doing so well too. As you know, it hit close to home and I am uspet by this.
Have a good weekend everyone!
