Dear family and friends,
Thank you for all the support and prayers. Cody’s bone graft surgery was a success. He has been obviously in a substantial amount of of pain, but it has subsided somewhat. Surprisingly, Cody has been moved to outpatient status, and into the baracks for possibly a couple of weeks at Camp Pendleton, CA. He is happy to be moving forward in his recovery, and very much appreciative of his fiance Katie and her love and support. Thank You all for everything,
Much Love,
Brian, Kerri and Cody’s family

Here is the video story from KSBY about Sunday’s successful fundraising event held at the Santa Maria Elks Club.
Dear family and friends,
Cody is now actually in route to the Naval Medical Center in San Diego with his fiance Katie. They should be arriving sometime this afternoon. Cody was very excited to be moving forward to California and to a new change of scenery. Kerri, Gracious, Andrew and I are planning to make it there by tonight and see him tomorrow. We are all very excited that it looks like we will finally be seeing him soon! A man named Dana from Amp Surf (an organization to help amputees get out surfing and offer support) has already called us and told us he is rounding up his connections in San Diego to give Cody support.
Thank you everyone for your support, love, and prayers,
Brian and the family (Cody’s Family)
Hello there, unfortunately I can’t control the universe. Well, actually… it is fortunate for everyone!
We got word today that Cody has another infection which is causing a 103 fever. He will not be coming to Palo Alto as soon as we thought. He will be having one more skin graph surgery on his face when his fever is gone, hopefully on Monday. Please be in prayer for Cody as we see how quickly plans can change.
Much Love, Brian and Fam (Cody’s Family)

Dear friends and family,
It looks like Cody’s infections are clearing up and he has been weaned off of one of his main medications. Today Cody told Kerri he is getting stronger and didn’t have as much trouble getting into his wheelchair as he had the last time. If all goes as is planned, Cody and Katie will be flying to Palo Alto, California on Saturday August 6. We (our family) are planning to visit Cody in Palo Alto from August 9 to 12.
We wanted to give a special thanks to Kerri’s mother Susan for staying with us for awhile, helping with the baby, the kids, and the house during these times. Also, we give a special thanks to my mom Judy for coming up and staying from Tuesday to Friday for four consecutive weeks helping with the baby, the kids and the house. Life would have been much more difficult had they not helped out.
Thank you everyone for your support, love, and prayers,
Brian and all of Cody’s family
Dear friends and family,
The doctors found an infection in Cody’s leg which was probably causing his fever, just below the knee on the inner side. They had to put a third tube in his leg to drain any infection. Please pray for him as he was experiencing a great deal of pain. Since I drafted the above, Cody is doing better. Two of the three tubes have been removed and his pain has also lessened some. It looks like the infection has been brought under control. Please, if you will, continue to pray for the healing of this right leg and for Cody’s well being, and for his fiance Katie, who is there with him now.
Thank you, Brian, Kerri and family
