18 months!
Once again it has been too long since our last update about Cody. Honestly, since everything is still status quo there hasn’t been *too* much to update. Cody celebrated a pretty big milestone this week, 18 MONTHS! WOOHOO!!! He is still loving life on three legs and being the goofball that he always is. His personality hasn’t skipped a beat despite all he has been through. Tim and I were talking the other day about how many things Cody has gotten to experience that we were scared he never would when we learned of his diagnose and the prognosis from our oncologist. The main ones being moving back to Elmore, moving into our first home and meeting his baby sister when we found out I was pregnant.
I remember watching my belly grow and seeing how Cody reacted to it. He would snuggle up on my big ol’ belly and sleep, follow me all around the house, hang out in the nursery with me when I was putting things away. Sometimes while he was doing this, I would shed a tear or two and pray that he would stay healthy and be able to meet the new addition to our family. For those of you who know Cody, you know he LOVES babies and it would have broken my heart into a million more pieces if he never got to have one of his own. But Cody keeps living life and crushing every osteosarcoma statistic there is!
No Chemo, No Radiation, just homeopathic natural remedies from Dr. Loops, a new diet, and LOTS of love have allowed Cody to keep fighting like he is.
Still weighing in good, still eating/peeing/pooping fine, still playing with his brothers, still howling when you come home, still running to greet guests at the door.
We are BEYOND thankful and truly believe that God put Cody with us and has given him so much extra time for a reason. He completes our family and this cancer can just take a hike!
Enjoy some photos of Cody, notice in them how much he adores Emma. 🙂
Thanks for listening.
Hugs and Kisses to everyone!
