Vincent is an 8-year-old boy who was just diagnosed with a tumor on his brain stem. His grandmother, Diane, contacted me for a custom Healing Code for him on Saturday, July 16.

I told my subscribers about Vincent and there was a wonderful ground swell of support for him–people responding they they are praying and even doing a Healing Code on his behalf. (Bless you all!)

I'm happy to report that as of 7/19/11, there is good news. Further testing leads the doctors to believe the tumor is benign, as there seem to be no issues with Vincent's spinal cord. Because of the location of the tumor, surgeons are loathe to operate. They believe that steroids can reduce the swelling and a shunt can keep any fluid from building up. Vincent went home on Monday, 7/18/11.

So let's keep praying for Vincent and, if you're so inclined, do The Healing Code for him. (Here's an article on how to do a Healing Code on behalf of another person. Dr. Loyd says that when you do a Code for someone else, you benefit at least as much as they do, probably more.) Wouldn't it be wonderful if the tumor shrank to nothing?

I'll add updates to the blog. If you want to get these updates and other blog posts, subscribe in the upper right-hand corner, please.

If you'd like to comment, you may also do that.

I will post only his latest Code, but keep the updates as is so you can track the progress.

Update, 7/27/11: The doctors did another MRI on 7/24, and the neurosurgeon was astonished. The tumor had shrunk noticeably. The doctor said, "I've never seen this kind of tumor respond like this to steroids." His conclusion is that "it must not be that kind of tumor."

(Perhaps there is another explanation? Such as that prayer and the Healing Codes are working?)

The doctors have decided to give it three more weeks, then do another MRI before doing any surgery.

So let's keep praying and doing Codes for Vinny. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the next MRI shows "no tumor"?

Update, 8/2/11 Vincent's latest custom code is: Left hand – Bridge, right hand – Temple; both hands – Jaws; left hand Temple, right hand Bridge; both hands Adam's apple; left hand Jaw, right hand – Adam's apple. 10 minutes, 3x/day, good through 8/10. (Even if you do it once, that would be great.)

Update, 8/10/11: Another MRI will be done tomorrow (Thurs., 8/11). Please pray for good results.

Update, 8/26/11: Vinny's MRI on the 22nd revealed his tumor was bigger than the last MRI, but not as big as the first one. The specialist, one of the best children's neurologist in the country, is puzzled because the tumor "is not behaving like any stem glioma he has seen in the past." There will be another MRI on 8/29 to see what's going on.

Vinny's main symptoms are side effects of the steroids (huge appetite, weight gain, fatigue). They keep cutting down on the steroids.

Please keep praying and if you want, doing Vinny's Code. His current on is: Both hands Adams apple; Left Jaw, Right Temple; Both hands Bridge; Left Jaw, Right Adams apple; Both Temples. 10 minutes, 2x/day. Good until 9/7.

Vinny's mother, Laura, and grandmother, Diane, want to express their deep gratitude for all your kindness in praying and doing Codes for Vinny. Laura said, "These people have troubles of their own, yet they're still wanting to help Vinny." Your kindness moves her to tears.

Update, 8/30/11: Vinny had an MRI yesterday that showed the tumor had grown in size. Doctors are not sure what kind of tumor it is. Today he underwent a surgical procedure to drain the fluid, as well as a biopsy.

Update, 9/8/11: Have been trying to get in touch with the family, no answer, so somewhat concerned.

9/13/11 Update on Vinny:: He had a consultation on 9/9 with doctors, who said that the tumor is benign (thank God!).

However, it can still grow and cause problems because of the location. Last week he had a ventriculostomy (I think that's what it's called), where they drilled holes into the ventricle so that any fluid that accumulates can flow through the holes into the ventricles and be absorbed by the body.

Vinny has started on chemotherapy. For the first 10 weeks, it will be 1 time per week, for 4 hours each time. Then he'll go for 2 weeks with no chemo,then on a maintenance once per week for 4 weeks, and finally, a 2-week rest period. This will make up one cycle. There will be 8 cycles in all, 420 days, 48 weeks.

Doctors will keep on doing blood work the whole time. As you can imagine, Vinny feels some fear. Let's keep praying that whatever issues have caused the tumor will be healed, that his immune system would stay strong throughout the treatments, for wisdom for the doctors, peace for Vinny and his family. God bless you all for caring!

The family continues to express their gratitude to everyone who is praying and doing Codes for Vinny. To keep updated, visit this page regularly and subscribe to the comments.

9/20/11 Update on Vinny:  The last Code seemed to be helping his walking and the symptoms that came up from his treatments, thank God. (Please remember to include in the prayer, along with his tumor, "all negative effects of his treatments.") Vinny has been going to school and is losing a little weight (gained a lot from the steroids).

On 9/21 he will see the doctor for his regular appointment. On 9/22 he has another chemo treatment. People have asked (and family asked this too), why if his tumor is benign he needs chemotherapy? Answer: they believe it will shrink the tumor.

FYI: Someone passed on this link to a video that you might find interesting. Truthfully, I have not had the time to watch it yet, so I won't offer any opinion. I'm posting it simply because it might help someone else who may need it right now: http://youtu.be/H0ibsoqjPac.

9/28/11 update on Vinny + new code: Vinny is doing ok, doesn't seem to be feeling negative effects of the chemotherapy (thank God!).

Update, 10/4: Vinny has been going to school most days, except for when he has to take chemotherapy. He's starting occupational therapy (for fine motor skills, which he's having trouble with) and physical therapy for his muscles and legs. Doctors have upped his steroids a bit. Please continue to pray and address in the Code any negative effects of treatments to be healed, as well as the tumor itself. Here's his latest Code:

Update, 10/14: 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 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.'

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 effects 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!

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.

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, 1/23/12:  Vinny continues to do very well, with no side effects from the chemo besides baldness. His ophthalmologist noted a bit of slowness in his vision, so you can add "vision issues" to the prayer, but the doctor is not concerned. He does start another round of chemotherapy on 1/25, so please continue to pray for no negative side effects from his treatment. Also again you may include the family in this code.

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. Please include the whole family in on this new Code as well, and also any negative effects of past or present treatments. The new Code:

• both hands adam's apple
• both hands jaws
• left temple, right bridge
• both adam's apple
• left bridge, right jaw
• 5-10 minutes, 3x/day (Q Codes at least 9x/day), for 2 weeks (until 2/20)
