Cody continues to baffle everyone

Cody continues to baffle everyone. One doctor said it wouldn’t surprise him if Cody sat up and started playing the piano tomorrow based on how much he has improved in a short amount of time considering how his condition a couple of weeks ago.

He has been spending 2 – 5 hours a day in his wheel chair, he is staying awake longer, his humor intact. We have been outdoors to the rose garden at St. Joseph Hospital across the street almost every day last week; he has been read to daily; We went down to the basement at CHOC for physical therapy in the pool last Friday and again Monday; it was very fun for all of us....our summ er days at the “beach”.
We are grateful for the miracles already given and praying for and needing more. Cody’s blood and platelet counts still need to be transfused every few days…but, overall have been improving, albeit slow. However, any further treatment is on hold indefinitely and may not be feasible. Once home, we will go to the clinic weekly for labs and a check up.
We are scheduled to go home this Friday and preparing for the blessed event. It has been about 80 days since we have all been home together and are looking forward to being together as a family once again…..a true celebration.
Same prayer request for Cody as last update:
  • regenerated platelet and blood cells
  • pain relief - that all pain goes away
  • regained physical strength, in a mighty way
  • an unquenchable appetite and thirst
  • healed body (tumors be gone!)
  • comfort in our Lord, good spirits, strong will

Appreciate your faithful prayers and blessings to you.
