In this meeting we discussed Joey playing for the Cardinal baseball team and getting into the finals. The last game they played Joey was at bat and he hit his first ball of the season, which helped the Cardinals win the game.
Joey also went back to the hospital for a check up on his condition. He had a new doctor, who was curious about Joey's cordination. After he found out that Joey was in a coma for that long his worries went away and he said Joey's leukimia wasn't affecting him at that moment.
