Cody took the train yesterday and went to Sloan.  On Friday the NP said there was a 99.9% chance he would need platelets….well, he did not.  That is my Cody.  He continues to surprise and challenge us each day, even in small instances.  The other night, Saturday, he bowled 3 games.  That was after a blood and platelet transfusion on Friday.  He will not let this cancer stop him. We had a long discussion.  He is planning to visit his dad on Friday and come home Sunday.  That is in Canada.  While I do not want him to go, I know he needs to do this.  We have made a doctor contact in the event of an emergency.  He will begin chemo on Monday.  It is a rough protocol.  The maintenance scares me.  Not sure when he will start that.  We will do scans on Thursday and go from there.
Tonight we are going to the Portugal/Ireland soccer game which he is VERY excited about.  He claims his Portuguese heritage (from me, of course) and loves soccer so it is a win-win for him! Thank goodness tomorrow is Field Day and I do not need my brain too much.
Special prayers for two good friends at work.  One is having a mass for her son that passed away one week ago.  So sad.  The other needs prayers for her husband as he had a scare yesterday and needs some tests.  It will all be ok.  I believe that.
Have a good day my friends…hug your kiddies..xoxoxox
