One day down, 30 to go!  Just want this behind us.
It was a long day but Cody did well.  He finished up chemo around 5 and then we went to radiation.  The reality of all this bites and to see all those people going through this routine is heartbreaking.  It is like a cult.  Your name is called, you get a key to go get changed, you go to the back and come back out and it is over.  Most treatments do not last too long.  You can see some very sick people waiting and others are doing ok.  Cody looked relieved when he came out.  Just trying to work this all out.
He got an early Christmas gift.  I bought this magic sand from Brookstone before he started mentioning it.  I knew he would love it.  So Sunday when Jean delivered our tree and he kept talking about it, I went up and got it.  I told him not to buy it that I had it so just decided to give it to him.  He sat all day with it.  It is therapeutic and relaxing.  He showed everyone that came in.  So one less gift from Santa...LOL
He also is wrapped in the prayer shawl in the picture too.  He does not know exactly what it is, as that stuff freaks him out.  But he knows Jean made it...thank you!
Another long day and I am working through it.  I will work tomorrow and go after school.  This might become a pattern once we get a schedule for radiation.  It could work.
We are hoping he feels good because Monday there is a party in the early evening at Sony World and it is put on by a foundation.  Only Sloan patients are going.  Lots of gifts and one person that usually stops by is Bruce Springsteen.  I would like that.  Hoping...
Have a great day friends and family...
