Update...

I just wanted to drop a line and let everyone know what is going on. Diane will be taking Cody in tomorrow to start chemo. It has been determined that he will stay in for the duration of the treatment because of his liver issues. His bilirubin numbers on Friday were as high as they have ever been. We are hoping that they are swinging back in the right direction by tomorrow. He seems to be acting OK but his appetite is taking a major hit. It has become increasing difficult to get him to eat. So, he will start Wednesday through Sunday. I will relieve her Wednesday evening and do our usual 24 hour shifts.

Ounce again I'd like to thank all of you for being so supportive. It means the world to us that you all stop in and check on Cody and the family. Bless you all.

Praying that his bilrubin numbers go back down. Praying that his stay at the hospital goes quick and he is the better for it on Sunday.

We are praying over here too that his numbers turn around and that the chemo does what it needs to do and without being too rough on Cody. He is such a brave boy and you and your family are just as amazing. What hospital will Cody be at??? Any chance you can let us know so we can send him a card or something? Please keep us posted on how he is when you are able too.

Many prayers and God Bless all of you,
Mary

Just stoppin' by to say hi! I'm hoping that this new round of chemo does it's job well and has the least possible affect on Cody. I sure hope the little guy's appetite returns.... he needs the strength that those calories will give him.

Take care of yourself Mickey.

I guess it's good to get started on chemo- time to kick some neuroblastoma butt!

Thank you for the update-
