I spoke with both Vinny's mother, Laura, and her grandmother, Diane, on 10/14. Vinny is doing well. Laura wrote, "Vinny is doing very well.  They are lowering the steroids slowly and should be off of them in a couple of weeks, and physical therapy is doing wonders(or the Healing Codes of course!).  He is on his 5th week of chemo and so far no side effects at all!  Thanks to all who are doing the codes and to you.'

Note: I usually try to update on the original post, but don't always get emails out about this. If you want to keep updated, subscribe to the comments and/or bookmark and check that original post when the Healing Code is to expire.

Update, 10/21/11: Vinny continues to do very well. He's walking better than he did several weeks ago, his hand coordination is good, his latest blood count is "perfect."

He continues to have the 20-minute chemo treatments, but no apparent side effets at all! He is "more like his normal self" and his headaches are gone.

The doctors have no further treatment plan until he finishes the chemo and they do another MRI.

Update, 10/28/11:  Vinny continues to do very well. His blood profiles remain "perfect," he's walking well, eating well, and there are NO side effects of the chemotherapy. He still has all his hair, no nausea, or any other negative effects. Praise God! And thanks to all of you who pray and do his Healing Codes.

His grandmother, Diane, told me that the difference between Vinny in July, when they found the tumor, and now is "amazing."

The doctors have no further treatment plan until he finishes the chemo and they do another MRI in early December.

Someone asked how to pray for Vinny before doing his Healing Code. Here's what I suggest:

""I pray that all known and unknown negative images, unhealthy beliefs, and destructive cellular memories, and any generational memories and all resulting physical issues, related to Vinny's tumor and all negative effects of his treatment, would be found, opened, and healed by filling Vinny with the love, life and light of God as I do this Healing Code. I also pray that the effects of this healing be multiplied by 100 times or more."

After you do the Code for Vinny, say, "I release the full effects of this healing to Vinny, in love."

Update, 11/5: Vinny's blood counts were down–one down to normal that was high.  He had his latest chemo the other day. He's off the steroids, so appetite is normal. He is starting to tire from the treatments and all the extra appointments, plus the regular schedule with school and family activities. I uncovered two generational memories, so please add "and generational" after "cellular" (so it reads, "… and cellular and generational memories, be found, opened and healed …").

Update 11/15: Vinny had stomach problems over the weekend due to the antibiotics. (Please make sure you include in the prayer, "…and any negative effects of his treatments." There is also a generational memory and an in utero memory to heal this time.) He is off of steroids and will this week start on his last round of chemotherapy before they take another MRI in early December.

Vinny update 11/28/11: Vinny is doing well, but please do pray: On 12/1 he will have his first MRI since his chemo treatments. He had a blood transfusion two weeks ago because the chemo got his blood counts down. He tastes the chemo, which affects his appetite a bit.

Please also add "and generational memory" in the prayer of intention.

Update, 12/2: Vinny's MRI showed that the tumor has shrunk some; doctors didn't say how much. But that is very good news, and his grandmother reports that he is acting normally, like he was before the tumor symptoms appeared and the tumor was discovered. With this kind of tumor there are apparently cysts as well, so please pray that these cysts will go away as well as the tumor shrinking to nothing. He will continue chemotherapy for 4 weeks with a 2-week rest period after that.Thank you for praying and doing his Codes. Please continue, with this encouragement.

Update 12/12: The word from the doctors who viewed the latest MRI results is that the tumor is definitely smaller! They didn't even need to measure–it was noticeably smaller. Keep up your praying and coding! Here's his latest custom Healing Code:

Update, 12/28: Vinny is able to do more of his normal activities, even recess at school. He lost all his hair from the chemo. Still has a couple more chemo treatments to go for this round. Docs keeping an eye on his blood counts. His latest code (good until 1/2; I'm a little behind on updates):

.Update, 1/9/12: Vinny is off chemotherapy until 1/25. He is doing great! Able to be very active again, and loves his sports. Getting his eyes checked today for possible vision issues (effects of steroids?). Shows more confidence too, now that his balance is back. Overall, doing great! Family under a bit less stress, too. They are all very grateful to all of you for your prayers and coding for Vinny. Keep it up! We want to see this tumor disappear completely. Here's his Code, and you may include the whole family on this one (please do; just add, "and any heart issues from other family members that may be contributing to Vinny's issue")

Update, 2/6/12: Vinny continues to do very well. He had a blood transfusion last week because of a slight fever, but everything seems to be going well and he's living a normal boy life. Thanks and praise to God! And thanks to all who are praying/doing Codes.

Update, 3/2/12: Vinny continues to do well. His next MRI will be on 3/5.

Update, 3/12/12: Vinny had his MRI last week and it showed that the tumor has shrunk ever more! Very noticeable, said the doctors. They are very pleased. The cysts still remain but are not of much concern. Vinny will continue on some chemotherapy, so please continue to pray he will only experience good and no side effects from it.  He is doing well. This Healing Code is for Vinny and the whole family, for "any issues that are contributing to the stress and the tumor in Vinny's body."

Update, 3/20: Vinny is doing pretty well, though his platelets were down last week so he did not get his chemo treatment yet. We are continuing to include the whole family in the Code. Everyone in a family is so connected to each other, so why not heal everyone? Use this code to address stresses in the family (which run the gamut, as you can imagine):

Update, 4/3/12: Vinny's blood counts went back up, so chemo is scheduled for 4/5. Please pray about the possible suppression of making new bone marrow and of his immune system due to the two drugs he'd been given.

Update, 5/2:  Vinny took the third chemo treatment last week, will take a break for a bit now. Next MRI will be in June. We are praying the tumor will be gone by then. Please keep the whole family in prayer and include them in the prayer of intention, along with a generational memory from Vinny's mom. These are stressful times for the family. Current code:

• both hands Adam's apple
• both hands jaws
• left temple, right bridge
• both jaws (again)
• both adam's apple
• 5-10 minutes, 3x/day ((Q Codes 5-7x/day plus 1-2 regular)
• good until 5/14
