We are here for now......

Although it was a very stressful trip, we are here. It is 12:30 and Cody is still sleeping. We are going to let him do what he wants to do.

The day started with a stretch limo ride to the airport from our house. The kids absolutely love riding in a limo. Cody at one time said he loves riding in a limo more than being at the beach. He later took that statement back. :) The limo ride was nice but rough. Cody was in a terrible mood and most of the trip didn't want anyone to speak. As we started through the security line Cody got sick to the stomach. Right before we were to go through the x-ray machine he had to throw up. I picked him up and held him over the trash can. Well, not only did he throw up but in the process the feeding tube that goes from his nose to his stomach came out of his mouth. This was very traumatic for him and most of the people standing in line. I hurried and pull the tube from his nose and out all together. He was very upset. We cleaned up and headed for the plane. We were not going to let that stop us. He will have to have a new one put in the next few days.

When we arrived at the hotel it was chilly but the kids were not going to let that stop them from going to the pool. We hadn’t eaten most of the day so were all hungry but we let the kids get dressed and headed over to the pool. The kids loved it. Cody was like his old self as soon as he hit the water. He was doing his best to do the free style stroke. He is actually a very good swimmer for only watching Justin and Daniela. So he stayed in the pool for about 15 minutes and then wanted out because he was getting cold. We left the other kids with Chris and headed back to the room. Cody and I jumped in the big Jacuzzi tube and warmed up while playing with his little monster guys. We had a great time. After the kids got back we ate pizza and veggies, and tried our best to keep him happy. The kids are doing their best to keep him happy.

2:28pm, Cody was able to get enough energy to get outside. We were heading to the beach but to do that you have to walk past the pool. He saw all the kids in the pool and decided that’s where he wanted to go. He got in the pool and lasted for about 10 minutes. He was cold and wanted to play in the tube with me again. He hasn’t made it to the beach yet. I hope by this afternoon.

He is very lethargic today. We had to give him some morphine because his tummy is hurting him. We were able to get to Walmart for goggles and beach toys. I pray that we are able to get him down there to enjoy them. He is just not the same boy. We miss our Cody!!!
