Thursday-Another beautiful day on Long Island. Perfect weather. We went to the outlets with Cody's girl and her friend. Cody got a new hat and we ate at Chipolte. It was a nice afternoon. We came home and they watched a movie and I was able to have my guy here to get a haircut. It was long overdue so I ended up getting 4 inches off which is kinda short but I will fix it later and see if I like it. I was so tempted to chop it all off but not ready just yet.

I got some sad news today. The boy, Tyler that we were next to in our first stay at Schneider's is not doing well. He has a rare brain tumor and they were able to do surgery and remove it years ago but part of it was left in the brain stem. He had that zapped with radiation. Well, he had some symptoms this summer and the tumor grew back. He is not doing well and surgery is not an option nor is radiation. The chemo drugs only have a 25% chance of working and that is very low in the big picture because this a rare tumor. He was all set to start college too. His mom and I keep in touch and she emailed me yesterday. It is so sad. He was really supportive to Cody through his time there and he is a really special guy. Please add him to your prayers and at this point, we are looking for a miracle. Thanks.
