Sunday-Today Cody popped out of bed at 8am. He was up and showered and ready to go see his cousin. We went to get a few presents. He also wanted to see another boy, Karl that he had met. We unfortunately saw another guy he knows, Ralph and he is not doing so well. Matter of fact, his leukemia spread to his spleen and now there is nothing left to do. He looked horrible. He is 23 and his family was there. His mom found me and she was a mess. I did not tell Cody. They are taking him home and it is just a matter of time. Awful.

Cody's cousin, Matisse is 3 and he was sleeping when we got there. He woke up and was feeling pretty good. He is going to have his bone marrow biopsy and spinal tomorrow. He is getting a central line in. I would imagine they will start chemo in a day or two. Just so sad and so unfair. I had to offer help today to get bloodwork for him. He was not a happy camper. I was sitting with him and he was complaining that the tape was hurting his hand. He asked for the dr. He said "get the dr and ask them to fix it." He is just 3. So cute. Just pray that he has an easy ride and that he responds to chemo.

Long emotional and exhausting day. We went to dinner with Casey and Nicole. Off to bed and saying a lot of extra prayers tonight...
