The Long Island Raceway where Cody races his rc car did a fundraiser for him. We were able to stop in and I think Cody was overwhelmed. We only stayed about 20 minutes but it was long enough to see tears and the huge support of the friends Cody has made there. I was so touched. It was a really nice event that Don, the owner did for us. Very special. Thanks for representing us, Corinne, Michael and Bern. We appreciate it. We love you all!!
On Saturday, against my wishes, we took him to the casino in CT. I was so scared and so worried but he toughed it out. He actually came in 10th (which he was paid for) in the poker tournament and knocked out 5 players which he was compensated for too. He was in it for 5 hours!!! He took plenty of pain meds but he did it! Jean and Mike joined us there and Cody played craps with Mike and he won there too!! He came out way ahead!! It was a crazy long day but he did it.
He is making up for it today, he is sleeping most of it. I made my chicken soup and he is eating it which is good since his appetite has slowed down.
Tomorrow is his last day of radiation. He will have completed 67 rounds of radiation in the past 6 years. That is hard to grasp for anyone, let alone a 21 year old. But he fights on and does it, like a champ, no complaints whatsoever.
I am hoping for a quiet week. Almost forgot it is Thanksgiving. Casey comes on Thursday so that will be nice.
I am thankful for everyone. We have had food deliveries, cards, gifts, gift cards, texts, emails, donations, visits, sleepovers, lots of hugs and tears and we appreciate each and every one of you. There is no way I could do this alone, never. Thank you.
Cody and Don, the owner of the race track on Friday night.
I am glad you are surrounded by friends and family. It will bolster you and lessen your fear, I hope. Please call on us if there is any way we can help. I think of you all throughout the day.
