We Are Finally Home!

Dear Family and Friends,

We are finally home! Cody did well transitioning home and was happy to be in his own bed....me too. We are all in good spirits and look forward to spending time together .

Before we left the hospital, we met with the radiologist to go over our new plan. He will get 14 treatments of radiation to his entire spine over the next 3 weeks. On Monday we go to get "fitted" for his mask that is required to bolt his head down to the table while they radiate...they want to be right on target; in addition, he will get the positioning "tattoos" . He is not looking forward to this but is psyching himself up. We may also start chemo next week pending his white cell and platelet counts. The chemo plan is to be all out patient and is not as potent as the first round. The sooner we get started the better as to not give the tumors a chance.

Our prayer would be that he get a ferocious appetite, that the tumors disappear; never to return and his health completely restored. As a friend recently said, "Cody is my hero and inspiration", he is ours too.

Thank you for your continued prayers. It is awesome to see God at work, not only in our lives, but in many lives that Cody has touched in some very profound ways.

All His,

The Days
