Tuesday, April 20--8:30am

Cody came off the Cpap machine around midnight. He only has a nasal canula in and is on 4% oxygen. Lieda, his nurse, said he had been waking up around every 30-45 minutes and moving around a little. So it sounds like he didn't get much sleep. Dr. Hough, pulmonologist, has already been by and he was pleased with Cody's progress breathing wise. They gave him more Lasix, mainly for a preventive measure to make sure no more fluid collects on his lungs. He will continue to monitor him closely through the day. He tries to talk but not much comes out. It's a real light whisper. He's still not out of it. It exhausts him to even open his eyes. Please pray that God wakes him up and brings him back to us. The neurologist was in and pretty much said the same thing as yesterday. I guess he doesn't realize that it's all in God's time not his time!!! He is sweating again this morning, so hopefully that means his body is trying to regulate his temperature. His vision still is not really there. We don't think he can see us. He has this glazed look about him. Thank you for the prayers. Thank you Lord for controlling Cody's breathing. Please continue to pray God heals Cody's body and he wakes up to us. It's all in Your time. Please keep praying...please keep praying..please keep praying.

  2. Tammile, LuAnn and I were talking about the neurologist...Dr. Negativo! He's just not a believer...yet! God will touch him through this as well! I dare anyone to say God isn't still in the miracle working business.

  3. After much thought I have decided to post from my own experience.. I don't think it is that the dr is not a believer but remember that his job is the medical aspect of healing. Brads neurologist told us horrific things and Loren wanted to deck him (and Loren is not a fighter)! Dear family, when you become too overwhelmed go to the chapel ! You all are constantly in my thoughts and prayers, Patty

  4. My prayers haven't ceased! Cody is in my thoughts constantly, and with each update I just keep praying for strength for him and the family. Baby-steps are wonderful, though they are extremely exhausting for him. Let the docs say and think what they want, but they will all be touched by this miracle that they are being a witness to!
