Peggy Nelson has kindly helped us set up a donation account in Josh's name at Regions Bank. If you'd like to contribute to the ongoing medical and travel expenses, simply go to any Regions Bank and donate money to the "Joshua C. Bodle Benefit Account."
I'm hoping to also add a PayPal option to this webpage soon that will go directly into that account.

We have had an incredible number of phone calls & emails trying to help us with the flight to TX, and it looks like "Pilots for Christ" will be arranging the first flight for Josh & Sarah on Wednesday, 5/30/2007. His first appointment & labs at MD Anderson are first thing Thursday morning and will possibly take 3-5 business days before returning to Alabama.
I just wanted to let everyone know Josh is on his way home from Baptist Hospital for the night and will need lots of prayers thru next week as he starts the next leg of this journey in TX. Of course I will keep you posted and will let you know his progress weekly.
God Bless you all.......Michelle
Thanks to my brother Brad for making this Blog happen, I will try to keep it updated with any news and results from the Dr's.
This morning Dr Fitzgerald came in and announced Josh's white count is down to 25,000, we are very excited!!! Now he just needs to get the infection from the Port they used to do the blood treatment in check. They are changing his antibiotics now, so we'll know more later today. Dr F has set an appointment in Houston for Thursday morning, we are in the process of working with "Pilots for Christ" to get Josh and Sarah a flight out tomorrow. I will drive Sarah's mom Judy & the baby out so we will have a vehicle while in Houston. The Dr is saying 3-5 business days of tests for this first trip, then the Dr's in Houston will decide the next step.
I want to thank everyone for their continued Prayers and support, we can't do this without you. Keep lifting Josh up in prayer and know that your prayers are being answered everyday! God Bless our Family & Friends!
