No big news yet..

I took Cody into the clinic for his blood work today and all is good. His doctor is pleased with the way he is recovering. He confirmed that Sloan Kettering received all of Cody's stuff. She is going to talk to the doctor up there this evening and we should know more tomorrow. If they decide to do more chemo before our visit it will probably start in the next few days.

Cody's tastes change daily. One day he likes lobster tail, one day he likes salmon. His lunch time tastes usually consisted of McDonald's nuggets or cheese burger happy meal. Now he is asking for a Big Mac. It's not the most nutritious thing but it is fattening. :D

As soon as I find out more I will post it ASAP..

Lobster tail and salmon ???!! I'd say Cody has some great taste !! A Big Mac will definitely put on some weight !!
Anxious to hear when you will leave for NY. Glad the bloodwork was good !!
Prayers and positive thoughts continue !! G2G

Chemo does odd things to all your senses and really makes food taste odd. It really changes daily but your body seems to know what it can handle and you crave that. I used to also get a metalic taste in my mouth - like chewing aluminum foil. Peanut butter on a spoon was the only remedy for that. My 3 year old has started including Cody in his prayers - he doesn't know who he is but he hears Tate pray for him and has added Cody to his 'God Bless' list.

Get him a milkshake to go with his burger - they pack tons of calories!!!

He's eating some good stuff tho - like he's craving protein with the lobster and salmon...

It may not be big news but it is good news. It is good to hear that Cody has such a healthy appetite. Continued prayers and thoughts for the entire family.

Dittos on the encouragement for the appetite, and I'll echo Monica on the Milkshake. You can work on nutritious eating later. Glad for no surprises. Hang in there.

I lived on ice cream during chemo, much to the chagrin of my poor oncologist who said "You can't just eat icecream! It doesn't have enough protein!" I said, um, watch me. I say Cody should eat whatever he wants! :)
