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.

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

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,

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.
Ron
Praying for safe travel for you and Diane. Praying this chemo treat fights this beast. Love and Prayers for you all.
