MEDICAL UPDATE SUNDAY 9:54 AM
Wow, Cody is squirming around and looking like he wants to get out of bed now! This is the most active I have seen him. He tried to speak to me twice this morning. I couldn't understand what he was saying but it was still very uplifting and made me smile. Cody is scheduled for another CT scan today. The blood clots in his arms are getting more serious. The best option is to use Heparin, which is an anticoagulant, meaning it will thin his blood. This will help the blood clots dissolve. We are mainly worried about two possible side effects. It could cause the contusion on his frontal lobe to increase in size as well as increase his risk of bleeding. The CT scan will provide a clearer picture of how far along Cody is with these injuries.
Go Cody Go!! Jesse & Chelsea hang in there you are doing a fantastic job. I am praying for all of you to be strong.

Cody,
You're one of the strongest athletes we've ever met. You always give it your all. Put the same effort in to getting better as if it were another training run.
Get well soon. We're all thinking of you!

Marshalls keep up the hard work! It's paying off!!! Cody is almost back!
Thank you for the updates. We check all the time. And, the news of his constant improvement is uplifting. He is very lucky to have all this positive energy coming his way. Along with the care Chelsea and your family are providing.
Jesse looks great. We saw him on TV. He handled himself with distinction. A grown and mature man fighting for his younger brother's well being. It was a very touching interview.
Our family sends hope and prayers for Cody's full recovery! Along with our support for your fight. Thank you for the terrific tees.
Cody - wake up and smile for us soon! We are wishing for some laps on the Super Star Chair with you.

Great news about the ventilator and the squirming. Can't wait to hear what the first words are out of his mouth...
We have a new set of young ski racers arriving tomorrow at ELITEAM and we will have them high-fiving the Cody Wall and sending you energy.
Baby steps. Baby steps.

Cody! So I am off to New Zealand with Ted and Andrew- don't worry I will keep them in line, might even punch Andrew in leg for you as a pay back...so while we are gone, you have some work to do. It sounds like you are starting to get a little feisty and have a lot to share. Keep up the good work and energy flowing. We will send you some of the that good clean NEW ZEALAND energy! Take care, be strong and keep the fight up. Lots of love and prayers and so many thoughts to all of the Marshalls and Draven- the website is great! Christa
