Hey everyone...

Today was a very special day. Cody had a rough time sleeping last night because he was so excited about the party today. The party wasn't until 2pm so all day long he was asking Diane if it was time to go yet. When we arrived at the school we checked in at the main office and Cody had hugs for everyone. He hugged the secretaries, he hugged the nurse, he hugged the principal too. He also had hugs for both of his teachers. He was so happy to be back in school. It was a very emotional time. Cody wore his mask and his camo skull cap. We brought some extra masks for the other kids if they wanted them. After Cody was settled in I asked him if he wanted to take his cap off. At first he said no but then changed his mind. The other kids were amazed and concerned but after we explained why his hair was gone they didn't say another word. It was like he had never missed a day. I stayed for an hour but had to go back to work. Diane stayed with Cody and finished the party. Dr. Abu Gosh said that when his counts are up there is no reason that he can't go and spend some time at school.


Well we have a bit more of a plan now. Diane received a call from Dr. Modack up at MSKCC. It looks like we will be heading up the end of next week. Right now it looks like we will be heading up on Wednesday evening and staying for about 7 days. The Dr. did mention to Diane that he thought that it would very strange for one tumor to shrink and a new one to grow. That statement made me feel a little better. We will decide in the next days how we are going to get up there. I look forward to meeting some of my running friends while up there. Hey RunWest, Park Runner, Liz and I Love New York. I hope to get a run in Central Park with you all while I'm up there.

I hope you enjoy the pictures...
