Cody did well this week and kept very busy.  On Thursday he and his dad (free tix again!) got to go to the Rockettes show.  Cody was bored with that but it was something to do and to occupy the time.
I drove in Friday around 12 to get him.  He finished up early and I did not even go in.  He had physical therapy and met with his psychiatrist this week.  He stayed busy.  We got home around 4 yesterday and we both took a snooze and then he wanted dinner and then the race track.  He tries to do all he can do while he feels good.  He loves it there.  When I checked in on him, I texted one of the guys there.  He wrote back "he's as happy as can be".  That actually brought me to tears.  I went to hang with him for a bit and took him to eat...again.  Glad he has an appetite.  Hope that doesn't change.  I see how different this experience is from the leukemia.  With that, he could not eat and needed a feeding tube.  Keeping my fingers crossed nothing changes.  We are busy getting things organized for Casey and Nicole's visit.  They come in late on Monday night.  We will see them Tuesday.  It will be a mellow week, just visiting as Cody will be neutropenic again.  We go in Thursday to radiation.  We are all going for that.
Enjoy the 3 day weekend, my friends.  Don't forget why we have it..thank a soldier!!
