Friday-We had a pretty good day.  Cody finished his IV fluids and Casey (a trained EMT) de-accessed him.  What that means is that the 2 lines going into his mediport could come out as we were not needing the lines anymore while at home.  I have not done this before and learned with Casey but Cody really wanted him to do it.  All was successful and without any complications.  We then all went to the movies, Cody's friend and his dad included (oh joy) and it was ok too.  We hung out at home and just did burgers and hot dogs on the grill.  Cody's drum teacher and our friend, Bobby stopped over and so did Ben, the neighbor kid they grew up with.  It was great to hear them sharing stories and laughing.  It was a busy day and Cody said he is feeling a little better.  He is hydrated and this upcoming week he is supposed to feel better.  His wisdom tooth is coming through and causing lots of pain.  Hoping we can get that taken care of next week too.  His hair is starting to fall out so he will be getting it shaved today. I know that bothers him but he is staying upbeat and wants to put some fake tattoos on his head.  We will see.  It's Saturday morning and all is quiet.  We are having dinner at Nicole's house tonight with the ex and his wife included.  Maybe we can show up late??
