Yesterday was Cody's 3rd of 5 chemo days. He really was in great spirits all day. He went to bed at 11:00 on Tuesday night and he got up at 10:30 yesterday morning. We went down for his pre radiation session. That is where they put him in the CT scan machine and place marks on his abdominal area that will make it easy to line up his body for the radiation. This morning will be his first then he will go Friday and Saturday mornings. He will have Sunday off then he will go 6 days next week starting Monday. Then a few days the following week. One good thing is he has one more day of chemo after today. Also the radiation is in and out for the most part. He will be discharged Saturday morning.
You may have noticed in his latest pictures that his hair is coming back in. Well, that is going to fall out again. Hopefully this will be his last chemo.
Today is haircut day. I'm taking my hair shears in to cut Ernest's hair and then shave his head. I'd like to thank Ernest for his participation in our fund raising efforts. I'd also like to thank him for helping me kick off my new career as a beautician. Hopefully I don't draw too much blood. :)
I did get a chance to get in a 35 minute run yesterday. I'm not as fast or light as I was in November but I did OK. I'm just a little sore this morning.
If you haven't given to BOP or the Relay yet it isn't too late. Please give.
God Bless you all for caring and praying for my son.

About Me
- Deck Ape
- I grew up, ah, got older in Ford City Pa. A small town 45 minutes up the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh. Growing up a true 70's child I really thought that the Steelers were suppose to win the Super Bowl every year. :D Being the free spirit that I am I couldn't wait to get out on my own, so I joined the Navy. I flew out to the Philippines and met my boat the USS John Paul Jones DDG32. From there we sailed back to the states and spent most of the rest of my tour between San Diego and Long Beach. Since getting out I married twice, had 6 children and lived in Groton CT, Pensacola FL, Germantown MD and now in Northern VA. I've been married to my wife Diane for 10 years now and have three energetic and loving children. My life reads like a fiction novel in many ways. Many ups and downs but I feel blessed to have this life. To some it may seem boring but it's all mine.. :D

Good luck with your haircut. Maybe you'll discover a second career...

Perfect time for the hair cut!!! Ernest will be bald at in support of Cody! Always, thinking of ya'll. Praying that treatment goes well and he and ya'll continue to keep the spirits up as best as possible.
