Wednesday, April 21--11:30am

Physical therapy was just in and you'll never believe what he just did! He walked all the way around the ICU!!! They told him he needed to stand up straight and not slouch and he stood straight up. Mom had walked in and saw him, he walked to her and pulled her closer to give her a hug. All the nurses, not even Cody's were all crying! Mom came out and got us so we could go back and see him. When we got back there he was back in bed sitting up. I walked in and he reached his arm out and gave me a hug and rubbed my shoulder. Ady and Reese gave him kisses and he hugged them. Vanessa walked in and he reached for her and gave her a hug. Then Dad walked in and I told him that Dad was in there and Bubba reached for him also! Our hearts have so much joy in them right now. I told him that made our day and my heart is smiling.

Speech therapy hasn't been in yet. We told him that when they can get the feeding tube out that him and Ady will have to share popsicles! He cracked a smile! Him and Ady go through a big box of freeze pops in just a few days! He doesn't want to be left alone. He's so tired but he's afraid to fall asleep!

Praise God for what he's done! There is now a walking miracle in 901 Bed 7!!!

We still have not heard results from the CT scan. Thank God for your prayers!

  6. you don't know me or my son, but he works for CEC and he was telling me about Cody I've been asking about your son everyday,until my son told me about Cody's blog, and I've been following it every since, when I heard about this I ask a woman in her church to pray for him, when I read the news of how Cody is doing I call my son and tell him in the day time , I told him about how Cody is doing and the news was great for him to hear , for it was one of the guys that worked with my son that helped keep Cody alive before the ambulance got there. So we know God is with these guys everyday they work, they have a dangerous job. We will keep Cody in our prayers . GOD IS GREAT!!!

  12. I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. 3 He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:1-3
