MEDICAL UPDATE FRIDAY 8:37 PM
Okay,
Cody is back from his CT. It is NOT a blood clot. It is Pneumonia. So in order to help combat this they have put a vibrating vest across his chest. This will help loosen the mucas that is in his lungs in hope to clear this up. They will also be treating him with antibiotics.
Not that Pneumonia is a good thing BUT it is much better that this is the case over the blood clot as no invasive surgey will be needed.
Pneumonia By Definition to be clear.
Pneumonia is an inflammation of your lungs, usually caused by infection.Bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites can cause pneumonia and Pneumonia can range in seriousness from mild to life-threatening
Invasive By Definition to be clear.

Hello my name is Cole I'am 15 and live in Northern Michigan, i've never really heard about your son until i heard about it on facebook through Ski Racing Mag. On Feb, 13th my birthday i fell at highschool regionals and broke my tibia and fibula in my leg. After a surgery and 1 month out of school i was getting around on crutches It was really hard on my family watching it. I cannot amagine what it is like for you guys even tho i havent met you, I'm praying for you son Cody, and your family through these hard times. Ski racers are tough mental people and i know that he'll be ok its a matter of time. This is an extremely rough time for your family i can only amagine i offer up my prayers and wishes to you guys.
-Cole M.
