pip pip cheerio..... oops, that's England!


We just had a really short, but great visit with Charles! Everytime he's in the States, he always comes to visit. What a friend! We love you, Charles. Drink lots of Irish tea for us.
Cody woke up with a fever (101.3) this morning so I immediately called the nurse. We went in to have his white blood counts tested... they were ok, praise God. We then were sent to the hospital for a chest x-ray to see if he had pneumonia. Negative! I'm just hoping / praying that this is Cody's immune system trying to FIGHT! He will be taking an antibiotic for the next week... along with some tylenol to reduce the fever.
The shoulder.... hmmm, well we got the report back from monday's x-ray. Cody has a small "lytic lesion" on his right shoulder. It appears to be benign, but further tests (either MRI or CT) will be able to determine fully. We'll actually see Cody's oncologist on monday, the 17th, so at this point we don't know anything else. Now that I think back, Cody has had an achy shoulder pretty much since the beginning. So we do know that this lesion isn't something new. The pain has only recently intensified.
Please pray for continued healing in Cody's bones and for his shoulder. If God speaks anything specific to you... verses or words of encourgement, please email them to us.
