Darn cancer, darn chemo PLEASE PRAY

Dear Family and Friends,

Thursday night, at 11:30 PM, Cody woke up disoriented and confused, so we ended up in ER to check him out. He had radiation on Wednesday and chemo and radiation on Thursday so was worrisome that he was so confused. We were thinking it would be just a short visit, however, while there, he got very sick and lost everything he had, to the point of dry heaving time and time again...causing him much pain in his stomach. At about 6:30 AM we were transferred over to CHOC. Friday afternoon he got a CT scan just to make sure all is OK on his brain. There was nothing on the scan to warrant concern.

Friday he was unable to eat or drink anything. Even water made him sick. He is hooked up to IV for hydration and nutrition. Today he was able to keep little bits of water down...and took a walk in the halls; so this is an improvement we were praying for. The doctors expect him to feel good enough to come back home on Monday. Darn cancer, darn chemo. Is so hard to see him in such pain. We pray 24/7 for his returned health and grateful for every little step forward.

Please pray that the pain in his stomach goes away and his appetite returns quickly.

Thank you for your continued prayers.
