He did enjoy the COLUMBUS hockey game (sure not to say the Ranger game) on Monday night. On Tuesday he went to the Knicks game and was so close again! The picture is attached. It sure helps pass the time. In case you did not know, the man in the picture with Cody is Spike Lee!!!
Last night I drove in with GREAT friend, Jean Szigethy. It is nice to have the company and I know Cody enjoys it too. Cody has bonded with her fiancé as he is setting up a salt water tank too. We went to the mexican place that Cody loves for dinner and just hung out at Ronald house for a little while. He carries that huge backpack of meds and hydration with him and it gets heavy and wears him out. But he is a trooper and never complains.
During radiation, Jean and I were there and watched the whole process. It is amazing how exact they have to be. Cody just lies there like a wounded baby bird and lets them make their precise adjustments. It breaks my heart and I cannot help to wonder what goes through his mind while he is there. The 12 inch thick steel door closes him in once he is in place and it takes just a few minutes. Usually they try to put on a favorite song for him. We watched the monitor from outside the room and could see the outline of the tumor. We do not know if it is shrinking yet but there will be scans coming up at some point. It was day 23 so he has 8 more days of it, not counting the weekends. I think he is about halfway through the chemo regiment too which looks like he will be finished this summer.
So I have decided with the new fish tank to switch rooms, the two down here, so that Cody can have a bigger room and have more of a hangout and nicer place for the new tank he bought. He is excited. He was cute in asking if it would be done Friday before he gets home!! I wish! Thanks to another GREAT friend, Bernadette, we were able to switch the bed and futon and did our best with Cody's drums-Bobby I said we did our best!
It was great to be with him and we had some laughs. He loves his nurses and we enjoy seeing the drs from the transplant team that we miss! Tomorrow is Friday and I will have him back home in no time. He will come him to some presents left over from Christmas. Thanks to the Short family for our goodies. We will use that Melting Pot gift card as soon as he can eat out again!! Love you guys!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We are so blessed that way.
