MEDICAL UPDATE MONDAY 2:01 PM

Cody is having another strong day!

Current Vitals:
ICP: 19
Body Temp: 37.7
Heart Rate: 98 bpm
Blood Pressure: 131/68

He is shivering a little right now. He has a light blanket on. Another balancing act here with his body temp. We want to warm up his surface temperature and cool his internal temperature. Tylenol is still proving to be effective in helping control his fever.To help stop the shivering they are starting a Demerol drip.

Demerol is recommended for relief of moderate to severe pain but also has the unique ability to interrupt postoperative shivering and shaking chills.

    My thoughts are with the Marshall family. From a Mass, an ancient prayer sung in Latin. The exact translation of the prayer is "Lord, only say the word, and I shall be healed." It's a small prayer but a telling one. Say it over and over again, I am saying this prayer over and over again for your precious son, brother and friend. Bless Cody's soul.

    Hey Cody! I haven't met you yet in the flesh but we've been communicating recently via the ether. I know your bro Jesse and love him and therefore you are guilty by association and get the love too!

    I had 13 people in a cooking class Sunday and they took turns stirring a dish but while doing it they had to make a healing wish to you and they did.

    The theory here is that when they all were eating the dish the wish was manifesting. 13 is a great auspicious lucky number.

    I've heard it's a relaxing place to be in the unconscious state, but mentally focus on the breath while you are there and visualize the flow of the inhale and exhale.

    You should though not be too comfortable there! Come on, snap into consciousness quickly and then check out a Ram Dev video and get into the yogic breathing techniques of pranayama, actually means energy control. Pretty cool stuff, apparently the healing properties are over the top.

    In the meantime remember that the brain is secondary to the heart. You only hit your head not your heart. So accept the outpouring of love coming your way!

    Hurry, wake up I want to meet you in the flesh!
