"Friends. Prayer warriors. I believe in the power of prayer and my daddy needs prayers," Cody's daughter, Hannah, shared via Instagram on Sunday, May 31. "A little over 3 weeks ago, he was admitted to the ICU in heart failure and kidney failure. After weeks of being on a roller coaster of emotions, tests, dialysis, medications, steps forwards and steps backwards, it was determined earlier this week that his only option for survival would be a double transplant, heart and kidney."
"Last night, his heart strength and ability to pump blood took a downward spiral and we got a call from his doctor early this morning that they were having to intubate him to put him on ECMO (a machine that does the hearts job for him)," she shared.
"Pray that he will not experience any of the risks that come along with ECMO — stroke, blood clots, infection," she pleaded. "Pray that the next 48 hours on ECMO gives his body time to rest and gain strength. THIS is his biggest hurdle for transplant qualification right now. He has to gain strength. [And] pray that the transplant team that meets on Tuesdays will find him a candidate for transplant and get him put on the list."
