"that darn seizure!"

Dear Family and Friends,This last 2 weeks has been challenging in many ways. 5/8 at 12:30 am we went to ER as a precautionary measure because Cody seemed confused and disoriented. While there, he got very sick (from chemo the previous day) and his feet started tingling..then the tingling sensation went all the way up his legs. Then his legs hurt to touch and he lost some mobility from the waist down. We had some tests run, we were assigned a walker and a wheel chair, given IV pain narcotics and sent home 5/18. We rested a couple of days then ventured out and strolled Laguna in our new wheels and met friends for lunch. We had a wonderful day with our friends and rediscovering our little town. The following day, he was up for visitors; so friends (old and young) stopped by. The boys (and girl :) - his cousin) had a blast playing with his new gift. Treasured times.My good friend from Washington state was here helping out for a few days. Great diversion for me. We decided to run some quick errands. Dave and Cody were just going to relax at home. While at the bank I got a frantic call from Dave that Cody had a seizure and paramedics were on the way. The decision was made to go to Mission rather than St. Joseph ER due to the desire to get him quickly stabilized and Friday traffic may delay his delivery to ER. Once stabilized, we were transferred to CHOC. While getting him settled in his room, he had another seizure so they transferred us to PICU to be observed more closely.He is now at OICU and doing well. He will likely be transferred to a regular room today or tomorrow and hopefully coming home by Wednesday. Some mobility to his hands and lower torso has returned and each day is better than the previous. We will likely start physical therapy this week and are optimistic that he will regain all of his mobility.Cody absolutely is an inspiration for all of us to heed. I shake my head and thank God. Even with all that is going on, he doesn't complain, smiles and retains his remarkable sense of humor. Friday night, he just said "that darn seizure!" He remains with a great attitude (thank you for your prayers). We have a couple of older adult friends that were recently diagnosed with different cancers, but having to face radiation and chemo and the "C" word.... they are so inspired by Cody, they are asking him for pointers for strength and courage. Thank you for your continued prayers. Our prayer this week would be that the mobility for everything be regained swiftly and the tumors diminish to nothing and stay away forever.....and praise for gifting us with many family and friends that encourage and support us through this.In His Grip,The Days
