What we know so far....

Cody will be starting radiation therapy and chemo therapy on Monday. There was a meeting of 4 great doctors at Georgetown today that were discussing Cody's treatment. Although they are not really sure that the new spots are cancer, they are relatively sure one of them is. The area in the liver that is showing up is believed to be new tissue growing because of the surgery. So, Cody will get two weeks of radiation and one week of chemo. Hopefully he will start the antibody treatment after that. This road is very hard and bumpy.. I wish I were as brave as him. To be honest with you all, I'm starting to get in a bit of a rut again. This is why I try to focus on things like fund raising and drawing.

Speaking of fund raising I mailed a check to BOP today for $1000.00 and two checks totaling $40. All of this was raised from Cody's Crew bracelets. I still have some on hand and I'm not sure if I will be ordering anymore in the near future. Please let me know if you are interested. As this slows down I'm going to get ready to start the soda drive. You will hear more in the days to come. We have to get through the next couple of weeks first. Also I have started some drawings for Xmas cards to be sold on BOP's site for the up coming holiday season. I like drawing these because I can knock out one each time I sit down and draw.

Once again I'd like to remind you that if you have not stopped by the BOP or Relay for Life site please do so. You can make a difference in some child's life. Just to let you know, thanks to all of you I'm currently the top fund raiser in Prince William County for the Relay and my company is second. We are second to a team that has 5 times the number of members. Great job everyone. We thank you very much....

God Bless You All!!

Hey Mick,

Why not bring the Cody's Crew bracelets to your relay and sell them there? They'd sell out in a heartbeat.

How many do you have left?

Let me know...
