Latest Update- 2:00p.m 4-13-10

Cody has been sedated and still paralyzed with medication. No changes this afternoon. He had a good night. He is only getting 50% oxygen which is down from 100% initially. His lungs have improved as well. Still have some fluid but not as much as when he was admitted. His heart is only pumping at 15%. It's been through a total of 4 shocks. The initial electrocution and 3 shocks by perimedics on the ambulance ride in. They started a hypothermia treatment in the ambulance and we end that at 7:30 p.m. We pray to God that his heart had time to heal during this 24 hours and is working at more than 15%. Cody is such a fighter and a strong minded man. He's fighting. We have the Lord on our side. That's the ONLY thing getting him and us through this. At 7:30pm we as a family ask that everyone pray to God that Cody comes through this and his organs make it through this. The process of "warming" him up is a slow one. They only do a tenth or so at a time every hour. Pray that we see improvement every hour. We appreciate every single prayer that has been lifted for Cody. Please keep them coming.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.-Josh .1:9
