We drove to Queens to get Cody's cousin, Matisse since he needed blood work and was invited to the party too. Both boys got checked and then we got lunch and Cody got his radiation. We hopped into a cab and heading to Sony World on Madison Ave for the Sloan/Kristen Ann Carr Foundation Party. I was there about 15 minutes and I hear "Mary Byrnes". It was Trish from NYU! We met here there with her sweet son, Patrick just after he was diagnosed. Cody was the trooper he always is and was showing Patrick his mediport. We were roommates for a few days. Then we hooked up with them a few months later at Sloan. Patrick is doing well and is so handsome and so tall. Trish offered her support when Cody is in the city alone as she lives nearby. It was nice to see them!
As I was standing at the back elevator, in walks Bruce Springsteen!! I was so star struck. Cody and Matisse were involved in something and I could not drag them away for a few so I went to check him out on my own! He was conversing and just kinda hanging with families and posing for pictures. He was not stressed and was very friendly. Matisse talked to him and shook his hand and Cody chatted with a few too. I got my own photos and he was sweet. His raspy voice is what got me! It was a fun time and we were all exhausted.
Cody took the train in today (Thanks SooHoo's for the ride to the train!) for a casting to be made. It is a protector of his chest so he can get back to soccer training with the mediport when he feels up to it. He got his radiation and took the train back home. As for me, I had an emotional day. Just hard to juggle it all. I want to be with Cody. I am taking him in tomorrow so I will feel better. I already do. Making it an early night and hoping for a good night of sleep.
I have to say this again, but I have such an amazing family and such awesome friends!! I work in place full of genuine caring people! Thank you!!!
PS..pictures are not loading…I will try again in the morning!!
