Fri, July 11 - Sun, July 13th - Friday had the family going up to Cole's Oncologists office to have the kids mouths swabbed to test for a bone marrow match. The swab samples will be sent overnight to the Dana Farber Institute in Boston. We are told that it will take 7 - 10 days to get the results. This goes without saying how important this is. We returned home and a little later his 3rd grade teacher Ms. Gadberry came to visit. She brought him one of his current favorite lunch's, popcorn shrimp. She stayed for a little while and hung out with Cole. He was pretty tired, but he really enjoys her company.

The evening brought us a delicious dinner from Espisitos Coal Fire Pizza and Pasta. Thank you from our JCC friends Lisa, Yvette and Tema! After dinner we watched a movie and then an early night to bed.

On Saturday Cole began to feel a little better and we were able to get him up and about a bit. He felt good enough to go to Target and purchase a new wrestler toy. A little later in the afternoon one of his baseball buddies Max and his mom Jennifer came over to visit.

On Sunday morning I had my Vipers baseball team practice and we wound up scrimmaging the Cobras. Cole felt good enough to come over to the fields and say hello to the boys. The boys all came over to say hello to him and we took a nice picture of them all together. What a great moment! He stayed and watched for a little while and then Denise took him home.

Cole is still pretty tired most of the time and when he is not sleeping, he is generally wanting to eat. Thank you steroids. Can't wait until these are no longer part of the treatment. A little later in the early evening, Cole was feeling better and I got him in the pool for a little while. It's good for us to get him up and about as much as we can.
