Thank You for Your Constant Prayers

June 19, 2009

Dear Family and Friends,

Since last update we have been blessed with excellent days. Cody has felt better overall, on less pain drugs, hence more coherent, back into physical and occupational therapy and is showing improvement with both his dexterity and overall physical, eating like a horse, has gained weight, no more stomach issues, all of his blood counts have improved, the infection in his broviak line (catheter) has come up negative 3 days in a row so we don’t have to have it replaced, he has a great attitude (cocky as all get out – which is a good thing as it means he’s feeling more like himself J). Wow!!!! Amazing answer to many prayers. So very much to be thankful for. The power of prayer is an amazing thing to watch unfold. Thank you God for listening to the many, many people praying for Cody (and us), thank you all for caring enough and loving us enough to pray us through this.

The current plan is: He will be on IV antibiotics through 6/24..as is protocol to treat infections in broviak lines, last night was his last night to have TPN (IV nutrition in a bag) because he is eat ing so well; we are slowly weaning him from the pain meds with the idea that when we go home he will be off all IV everything having only oral medication and working diligently physical and dexterity recovery.

We look forward to going home...maybe 6/25? Thank you for your diligent prayers.

Love,

The Days
