I just got home with Justin. He and Diane came down and Justin spent a few hours playing with Cody before I left. Today was a pretty good day for Cody. He got a chance to sleep in this morning. He had a noon time X-ray which we don't have any info on yet. As far as his liver numbers go, I have good news. When his bilirubin was checked on Wednesday it was in the 17.s. Yesterday it was in the 14.s. And this morning it was 11.4. We hope that this trend continues for sure.
Cody's chemo and his radiation on the right leg will end on Tuesday. We are not sure how his body will react to this half dose chemo. In the past we have went home until his body hit ground zero and he got a fever. The last time he had chemo it was a hard session right before he started 3f8 and they made him stay until his body recovered from the stem cell rescue. With this session being half dose, I hope he doesn't hit rock bottom and his liver fully recovers. We hope and pray that things keep heading in this direction.
I hope to get a few pictures while he is in the hospital. I'll post them when I get them.
Thanks for stopping by..

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

I'm glad to see better liver numbers. I hope and pray that everything starts moving in the right direction.
Those liver numbers sound encouraging. I'm glad he got to see his brother and sister, too.
Take care,
Dottie
I came over from Frippery. She did a post on y'all asking for support for y'all and Cody. I feel so ignorant commenting about cancer because I know so little(I'll be reading all the info you have listed to educate myself), but I am a parent and I know the heartbreak that comes with loving our children desperately. I will be praying for y'all and Cody for strength and healing. People do not have to know the child to love the child and want them well and happy. May I post the ribbon on the sidebar of my blog as a reminder to visitors and to myself of what really matters most? Blessings. Debbie
Thanks for keeping us posted, Mickey. Glad you all had a good day together, and that Cody's numbers are heading in the right direction.
Prayers continue - every day!
As a mother of four, I can't even begin to imagine what you all must be going through...!! I do hope that Cody recovers soon, and that this positive trend continues!!

Great news on the liver numbers. I am so excited to hear this. Cody keep fighting! I know how tough you are. Mickey and Diane you are both doing a great job through this hard time. Praying for more good news to come. Hoping the scan of the leg shows a reduction in size.
Anything we can do to help, let us know.
Susan and Jonathan
