Well, Cody finished his first full week of school! It is tough and I def have to help him and still not sure if he can do this but he is giving it one hell of a try! He is doing a lot, driving out there to Dowling, eating 2 meals out and is responsible for himself which is something he has not done in a long time. He is still adjusting to his classes and the routines and is complaining about not meeting anyone. However he did say today that he was talking to a Marine guy so that is someone! He spoke to his psychiatrist at Sloan today on the phone so hoping that helps. He is working out at the gym and my friend/trainer there is working with him one day a week so that is another huge perk. Overall Cody is happier than normal and sings and laughs and does not stop fooling around with me. He is going to have one happy relationship when he finds the right person. He is really funny too! We are getting excited about seeing Casey and Nicole. Casey has to deploy again around March so that is upsetting but this is what he is happy doing. I really want to get Cody there to visit him this December when he is off school. They need that!

So pushing along and continuing to encourage Cody hourly to keep up with his school and to keep him focused and not lose confidence. He may end up having difficulties and we will worry about this when that time comes. For now, getting him through this semester is my goal.
