Not much.....

to report here. I will be taking Cody in for radiation today. His last treatment on his chest will be Monday. It was decided that we can no longer wait for word from the insurance company on the Cyber Knife issue. It seems that their word is final and/or nobody else cares to intervene or has no influence on the all mighty insurance companies. The doctor at radiation says he will try to use the regular treatment and hopes to minimize the damage to his growth plates. We will address the insurance company at a later date. Cody is our number one focus right now. As of yesterday his bilirubin numbers are still climbing but his other liver numbers are down slightly.

So, next week we continue radiation on the legs to try and stop the onslaught of the beast in his little legs and hopefully relieve some of the pain. On Wednesday he will have a CT scan on his torso and neck to see what affect the chemo had on those areas.

This weekend will be a special one. Tomorrow is Chris's 20th birthday and the kids and Diane are going to have a party for him. You all know how close he is to Cody and he is like one of our kids. Next year we'll be able to go out for a beer... :)

Justin crosses over from Webelos to Boy Scouts on Sunday. He has worked hard and stuck with it through the rough years and I am proud of him. It would have been much harder if it weren't for the support of the other pack parents. When I couldn't make it they made sure to pick him up on meeting nights and to other special trips. Again, proof that we have so much support during this time of need. Thank you all....
