Cody woke up this morning with a song in his heart, a smile on his face, and a pep in his step! He was even dancing around the bathroom.... too funny!

We had a fun and relaxing weekend.. and even went on a little date saturday night! Cody had 2 significant dreams over the weekend... he dreamed that his hair grew back and that he was getting ready to share his testimony.

We just met with his oncologist and here's the latest...

Next monday, the 24th, Cody will go for a round of CT scans to see how everything looks.

Then in about 3 - 4 wks, we will go to Stanford for an evaluation and stem cell transplant. Cody will not need a donor. They have new technology (Thank You, God, for imparting the knowledge!) where they can remove Cody's stem cells, send them thru a santization process, and then put them back in. How they can even do that totally blows my mind!

My heart has come along way since we first heard the words "bone marrow transplant". I've heard so many encouraging testimonies from all of you guys who read this.... thank you, Kathy Foster and Sandra Boone for your words that bring such peace and encouragment! We have incredible peace that can't be explained.

Cody still has a lot of pain in his right shoulder. He's taking liquid morphine every 2 hrs as needed. Cody's doctor doesn't want to radiate the shoulder since Cody already had a lot of radiation last month. We'll know more about what can be done when we're at Stanford.

Please pray for: weight gain, Weight Gain, WEIGHT GAIN! (it's like a cheer) and for continued healing in Cody's bones and shoulder.
