Well, today is day 1 of radiation. I was really hoping and praying that Cody wouldn't have to go through it on top of all the chemo. I have to admit that I was super bummed out when we found out he has to have radiation. And I also admit that I questioned God a little. But for the most part I just cried and prayed that I wouldn't be mad at Him. People all over prayed wholeheartedly that the CT scan would be totally fine. . . . and not only was it not totally fine, the tumors were worse. I guess I just don't understand. Please don't try to help me understand. I think this is something God and I have to work out together in our own time.

Cody woke up feeling OK this morning. We actually spent the night in Ukiah at a family friend's house instead of driving all the way home and then back again. Thank you, Ann, for opening up your home to us! God bless you!

We found out yesterday that he has lost weight again. He's down to 153 from 164 just last week. Now I know if we were on the east coast, my mom would fatten him up with all her meat and taters, and corn bread... tomato biscuits.. mmm...Anyway, please pray specifically for Cody's appetite.
This is what a real live angel looks like.. her name is Sarah, Cody's oncology nurse.

I must admit, I don't understand either! I wouldn't attempt to try to help you understand. I have "been there done that in this cancer journey". My love to you both. Sandra B

Our journey is never how or what we think it 'should' be. Well, at least mine hasn't been. He'll see ya thru it though. Love you guys.

Amy and Cody.... again I struggle to say the right thing...which is what? As I look at your situation, I too wonder what God is up to. But then I think of the timetable, the precious love, the devotion and desire... God put you two together "for such as times as this." I hurt for you, I pray for you and I thank God for you. We will witness God's miracle...one step at a time.
1 Kings 2:3

Amy and Cody...I shall continue to pray for your health...and your journey. I love you both.
