REHAB UPDATE FRIDAY 8:55PM
Cody had a great today and very busy. We were outside for awhile and
were enjoying the beautiful summer weather. This morning he made his
first outing out of the hospital. We visited Red Butte gardens. He
enjoyed the vibe of the place and being able to walk around freely. For
his first PT session we went for a little hike behind the hospital.
After lunch and a quick nap he had another PT session were he worked on
his balance, which has been improving everyday but still can't be quite
frustrating for him.
He had a full afternoon with friends and was in good spirits when I came back with dinner. He was able to play a little foosball with Tj, Worm and Mikkel. We went outside to enjoy the evening and played a little frisbee. He is really tired now and ready to settle in for the night.
He has been enjoying reading all your comments from the blog and I think he is amazed to see all the support he has behind him. It defiantly keeps him going.
Much love,
Chelsea
P.S. NEW SHIRTS AVAILABLE IN BLACK AND INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS UP. IF YOU EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING PLEASE LET ME KNOW friends@thinkcody.com

Wow Cody, it sounds as though you had quite the day today. I'm glad to hear that the recovery is going well; you seem to be progressing extremely fast which is awesome. Keep up the good work.
I also wanted you to know that I received my thinkcody.com t-shirt today and I have to say I never thought I would be sporting a shirt with your pic on it, but I think I'm pulling it off well.
Have a great day tomorrow.

Coooodyyy!!! What's ahhh happening hot stuff?? Ok, so I just got back from an intense night of battling on the dance floor. Yes, notice I say battling instead of dancing, it's quite different, and it gets pretty competitive but I'm always up for the challenge. Sounds like ur doing pretty well, taking field trips and all...NIIICE!!! Your progress is amazing, but I'm pretty sure I'll always be able to take you in a DFB (dance floor battle!!)...or can I??! I think you should continue to kick ass so you can show me up, I know you got it in you. Ok, WORD! hope ur catching the sweetest zzzz ever...kate

Hey Cody!
I'm back in the 'real world' in Norway - man, it's quite the transition!
Last time I checked your blog I wasn't able to post cause of maintenance, and I was so frustrated cause I have some pretty exciting news! Looks like I'll be in SLC in mid-October, which means, I'll get to visit you! Yey!
So, make a list if your craving any Norwegian chocolate, viking helmets, ham & cheese in a tube, you name it, and I'll bring it along!
Other than that, I'm stoked to read you're headed outside to visit the sun, that rehab's getting better and that you're pushing yourself every day! Keep it up!
Talk soon

Cody, Your Florida support group is really pulling for you and I love delivering to Grandma Marshall such an upbeat report as Chelsea wrote on Friday. If you think she would also enjoy your Facebook site, please add me to your list of friends and I'll see that she reads it. Your progress may seem slow to you but in the big picture it is really amazing what you are doing so soon. I know you will keep it up! Margaret Parker

Hi! I am glad to hear Cody got out to enjoy some fresh air today at Red Butte. That is a beautiful place! I sent you an e-mail (friends@thinkcody.com) a few days ago about your visit to The Pie on Tuesday. I just wanted to make sure you got my e-mail. Please contact me so we can get you taken care of! Thanks... monetp@comcast.net

Hi Cody it's been a while since I last posted but I ve been in new Zealand and just got back to new Zealand again from Australia where I spent a week . I am getting the blog on my iPhone daily and I m so happy to see the progress ur making. Just yesterday I talked with someone about the races here 2 years ago and remembered how u kicked ass at the Fis race 2 years ago in first run. To bad u went out 2 nd run cause u skied awesome and I am so sure u ll get back on those skis again to rip. So I wish u all the best for now. Not sure if u ever watched the movie nemo. Nemo would say keep on swimming. Wish u all the best and fight hard and hopefully see u soon

Chelsea,
Way to go on helping out update the Cody man's blog.
It's good to see Cody getting outside in that nice Utah air. For sure any hospital hallways and rooms can be not quite as pleasant.
Cody, keep working it, stay focused and keep your goals in play. Your support team is just awesome. So, I wish you the best in your recovery. Rock on!
