Wednesday-I am still checking his sugars. It is getting better. Today was a snow day so I could keep a better eye on him. Definitely improving.

Tuesday-Sugars are coming down so we did not have to go in today. I kinda wanted to have the day off but looks like we will have Wednesday off due to snow. I am feeling a little under the weather. I have been using the ear drops but I feel like I may be getting a sinus infection. My throat is really dry and I think my voice is getting hoarse. I came home today and Cody was at the school's basketball game. I had planned to rest but that did not happen. I was surprised to see a box here. It was really cool. It was from Jeff Dunham, the comedian we went to see. I had emailed a fan club person and asked if we could meet him. She said that was not possible but she offered to send an autographed photo out to Cody. Not only was there a nice photo and addressed to Cody right on it but a puppet of the character he loves and a t shirt and lots of other goodies that he was sooooo excited about! I have to get a thank out. That was really special.

He spent the afternoon with Brittany, so glad he has her and we both crashed pretty early last night. And....we got the news that tomorrow is a SNOW DAY-I can live with that.

Monday-Well, I was really hoping for a better start to this week. I was all set to leave for work and did Cody's finger stick for his blood sugars and he was very high again. So I went to work thinking I would need to leave but they adjusted his insulin again and I jetted back home to give him a dose and then checked him throughout the day. I left an email for Dr. K last night and she agreed to switch him back from prednisone to hydrocortisone. He seems to be more affected mentally (he is very cranky and irritable) and then it messes with his blood sugar. Not sure why it was even switched back but I am thinking that was a mistake. I have not been going to Sloan and I think it was just an oversight and switched on accident. So back on hydrocortisone but not sure how long it will take for the prednisone to get out of his system. We will continue to monitor sugars and see if we have to go in tomorrow.

Sunday-I was up early and did Cody's pills and then went back to bed. I slept till around 11. I wish I could do that every day. I kept a close watch on his sugars and am hoping we get this worked out. Cody went to the race track and watched a big race there today. I ran a few errands and got groceries before picking him up and taking him to eat. Sitting here now and watching the hockey game...hoping for a snow day this week, Yes, I really am!!

Saturday-Well, today was not so good. I noticed that Cody had passed a lot of urine during the night. I checked his blood sugar and it was almost 600! So I called in and we had to go to Sloan's emergency room. He got some fluids and insulin and this took the entire day. We stopped at Ikea on the way home to see if we could get any ideas for his TV room. We got home around 6 and we were pooped. I was so looking to chilling all day but will get that tomorrow. Good night all.

Friday-Glad this week is OVER! Cody ended up having his science teacher here since he did not have her this week. It was a quiet afternoon and we are looking forward to a quiet weekend.

Thursday-Is this week over? I woke up and got Cody up and was hustling around. I was cleaning my ears and bumped into the wall upstairs in bathroom and the q tip jammed into my ear causing me such pain. When I calmed down, I checked and it was bleeding. Anyway I had it checked out at my ENT today and I punctured it. No water and antibiotic drops and pain meds and no hearing loss but takes time to heal. VERY painful.

Cody had a tough day at Sloan as he lost weight and had high blood sugar. He got over it but we have to work on his eating and back to more on the feeds. He ate better today and looks better.

Long day for both of us and now bedtime. Oh how I would love a snow day tomorrow but does not look like we are getting it. :( Night all.....
