Round Two / 4th of July

Wednesday June 30

Today was round two and both Cody and I are very nervous. The unknown is what gets to us.
He did really well his first round other than two days of just being tired and not wanting to eat. If that is all we with be just fine. This last two weeks since his last treatment we have had a hard time keeping Cody full. He has gained quit the appetite. We are very excited to see how his weight is coming along.

This round we decided to post pictures when he was getting unhooked form his pump. People have been curious about his port and where abouts it was. so I tried to get the best pictures possible with out being in the way.

We had just found out that he had gained 6lbs back which we are just trilled.

This is what Cody goes home with for 2 days they have a special needle that they poke his port with and then the IV is connected to that. He really enjoys his pump which Tenlie calls his man purse.

Here is Cody getting his port flushed so he can head out for another two weeks.

4th of July in Manti

It was such a nice quiet 4th of July. My parents had taken the kids down to Manti to a small little camp ground. When Cody was done being unplugged we headed down to join them. There is nothing better than a small town celebration. Saturday morning we headed over to Mount Pleasant to watch there town parade.

Tenlie and Stetson were so excited for all the candy they gathered up.
I just love these ages they are such great friend.

After the parade we headed back to Manti and enjoyed their town pool. stetson wasn't afraid of anything he kept begging to go down the slide. Grandma was such a good sport since Cody couldn't be in the sun and I was unable to swim for 2 weeks. Grandma and Grandpa stepped up to the plate. Stetson finally got Grandma convinced to go down the slide with him.

It wasn't just once I believe the kid did it about a dozen times. We couldn't convince him to do it alone though. Grandma had to go every time.

Tenlie was a little difficult to get her to go we tried everything. Finally I told my mom to just take her and make her do it at least once.

And of course she LOVED it. We couldn't get her to get off the dang thing. Not only did she go with Grandma she decided it was pretty fun by herself.

I was so proud of Cody he did so well this weekend you would never have guessed he had been given chemo. Round two so far has been great he as not even missed a beat. Thanks for such a great weekend.
