My Handsome Baby Boy.....

Well my son name was Cody Allen Willard and he was born with "water on the brain". He had mrsa when he was 3 months old and was basically hospital bound. The hospital felt he needed more care than either me or his father would ever be able to handle. he was a strong little boy. he had 13 surgeries because of the shunt infection and problems he was having. he was placed at a rehabilitation center for children and was there for 10 years. He had a lot of issues up to this point..ceberal palsey, couldnt walk, talk, see, eat(had a g tube) and was havin breathin problems very badly in that year of 09'. I didnt go to see him as much as i should of ...i guess because i thought he was gonna live this way and i thought my girls would see him as they got older and never thought it would be this way.

I got a call june 4th 2010 telling me that my son was rushed to the hospital because he was not breathing...i started to cry as i hung up the phone because i couldnt believe this was happening. I got up to the hospital that following morning on the 5th of june and i spoke with the doctor and they told me they could not reverse it that he was brain dead. They keep him on the machines til my daughters arrived with my mom and before we left that day his organs were saved and his heart went to a 14 mo old little girl and his liver went to a 52 yr old woman. His legend lives on. I miss my son so much. I love you Cody !!
