Kodi Update

Kodi starts a new leg of her treatment today...one that when she was first diagnosed almost a year ago, I am pretty sure was never mentioned. For 2 hours today, she will have radiation injected into her little body via her IV...so much so that her own parents can only be exposed to her for 15 minutes a day TOTAL because she will be so radioactive. No one knows at this point when that amount of time will begin to increase. It all depends on how Kodi's body flushes the radiation out of her system...of course, seems like she can't catch a break with anything and this is no exception. Kodi only has one functioning kidney, so it's quite likely it could take longer than normal for her body to rid itself of the radiation. Pray for Kodi as she has to spend the majority of her time by herself these next couple of days. She has a walkie-talkie that she can talk to Tracy J on, who will be sitting right outside her door. Pray also for Tracy, Tracy and Maegan as they can't go in to see Kodi and hang out and help pass the time like they normally would. They have all been in California for the last week having a family vacation and just spending time together and will all continue to be there until Kodi gets to come back to Texas. The last time I talked to TW, the plan was for them to fly back out here on Jan 22. I pray that this is the answer and the treatment that Kodi needs to get her little body headed in the right direction and on the road to a full recovery.
