This is hard to write.
After a good night, the day did not end well.
We went down to xray around 9 am. While sitting in the wheelchair, Cody had a grand mal seizure. It is beyond describable. Uncle Jim was there and we both freaked and started yelling. In a matter of seconds, he was flooded with help. We landed in icu. A cat scan of the brain was ordered. It is not good. The cancer has spread. Cody now has a brain tumor in the left frontal lobe which caused his seizure. I am speechless. The conversation with his dr was heartbreaking. Cody will begin radiation tomorrow to try to stop the growth. He had an MRI tonight which only showed the one tumor. He will have a petscan in the morning to look in the rest of his body. My heart is shattered. And to think Cody apologized to me for putting me through this. We talked a bit tonight. He now knows he has to stop school and driving. I feel awful. Sick.
Cody was up to visitors today. I am thankful that my friends came up. Tomorrow and Thursday more are coming. It breaks it up and Cody seems ok with everyone. I pray and ask all of you to do the same.
Cody is a fighter ! He can do this! I can't imagine what you are going through but I know you are surrounded by great friends! Anything at all you may need please ask!
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteJust as you are at a loss for words, I am as well. I hope the radiation and all the other interventions work to irradiate the tumors. Cody has been so valiant and pushed through everything and you deserve to have your boy with you forever and ever.
I send prayers, healing vibrations, hugs and love to you both.
xoxo,
Diane
Mary, I am paralyzed with heartbreak. I am reading this at work and can't stop from crying. I love you, Mary and obviously Cody too. You are both so special to Meghan and I for so many, many reasons. You were both the rocks we leaned on when Meghan was ill. I am forever grateful to you both. What can I do? When Meg comes home for Thanksgiving, and you are both up to it, we'd like to come visit. Intense, fervent prayers to you. And of course, so much love.
