Dec. 18, pm...

Nice day with the festivities.  The carolers were great, Santa and his elves were fun.  I actually cried when they carolers sang "Jingle Bell Rock".  He asked for that song and the moment was sad for me.  They sang "The First Noel" to the little girl next store who goes by Gigi.  She is the granddaughter of a teacher at VB-small world.  She is precious.  She could not come out of her room so she watched the elves and Santa through the window.  Breaks your heart to know that this was the first time she saw Santa and she was in a cancer hospital behind a door.  There is a lot not right in this world right now.
Very sad time to be here.
I got a special quick visit from a great friend from work.  Thank you for the movies, LOVE them and for dropping by to say hello.  So good to see a familiar face, for sure.
Cody is improving.  The drs this morning said it is likely he will be home for Christmas but not sure.  We will do what it necessary.  He still has to come to radiation each day but Christmas and New Year's day are off.  Chemo will not start on Monday as he needs time for his body to recover.  It might start on the 30th but not sure of that yet.
I might actually go home tomorrow night to sleep.  Cody suggested it so I think he is ready for me to go and it is good for him to have his independence even it is in the hospital.  I could use a comfy bed too.
We are in the thought process of that decision.
Thank you all again for the continued love…I feel it!!  XOXOXOXO
