Cody's Update


Cody returns to New York on Sunday, April 6 for his quarterly check-up to identify any changes in his remission from Neuroblastoma. 

While there, he will undergo 5 days of immunotherapy, which is extremely painful. He will relax over the weekend with Mom and return to the clinic for 3 days of body scans, followed by bone marrow aspirations. After that, he’ll fly home with Mom to Texas.


Cody now weighs 40.4 pounds. He is looking great. His hair is coming back in – thick and blonde. 

He loves to play, but still has sore knee joints from his Accutane prescription, which is also used as an anti-cancer/chemotherapy drug. 

He just began a regime on injections to raise his white blood cell count because his upcoming treatment will wipe out them out.



Cody got a white bunny rabbit for Easter (right). He's looking so much better than he did a few months ago at the Ronald McDonald House's Petting Zoo (above).

As always, thank you for your continued prayers and good thoughts. You make a difference.
