Cody is Fighting for His Life: A Miracle in the Making! Help give this young man every opportunity to live! He needs significant immune modulation therapy to be healthy enough to survive open heart surgery.
Cody has a list of diagnoses and is terminally ill- his most crucial diagnoses are terminal refractory autoimmune anti phospholipid syndrome (APS), and the catastrophic form of this disease CAPS, Libman Sacks Endocarditis (from his APS) and other contributing factors. He has survived six strokes- two are major frontal lobe strokes.
He needs open heart surgery but cannot attain it until receiving significant autoimmune treatment to attempt to allow his terminal autoimmune blood clotting disorder to go into remission.
Cody just survived a Catastrophic March 1st autoimmune APS crisis: He had his 5th and 6th strokes, was diagnosed Libman-Sacks Endocarditis (heart clotting x2 clots and heart valve damage), 3 DVTs, Clots in all limbs, and massive clotting microangiopathy in his liver and kidneys.
Following this, his body began attacking its own red blood cells in severe hemolytic anemia.
He is battling when all medical providers do no know how he has fought to stay alive. He is stronger than any professional has expected and wants every chance at life!
Prior to his March 2026 crisis, we saw a dramatic rise in his platelets (from a dangerous FOR HIM 80 up into the 200’s). This might have given hm a fighting chance!
But how did his platelets recover?
We believe two specific, non-covered treatments saved his life by fortifying his system:
1️⃣ Plasmapheresis: Cody’s APS (Antiphospholipid Syndrome) causes severe bleeding. We found that one treatment per month is his "sweet spot" to avoid setbacks.
• The Gap: Not covered by insurance. Total cost (with travel/lodging) is $7,400–$8,000per session, 6x a year.
2️⃣ High-Dose Vitamin C Infusions: These aided platelet production and stabilized him. Because we live rurally, Cody is too sick for the 4-hour round trip. He needs to stay near the clinic for 5 days at a time.
• The Gap: These cost $900/weekplus $600 in lodging, $1500 total.
He needs this 2–3 weeks every month but can likely only tolerate one trip a month.
He has NO government help!
The Path Forward:
Why did Cody have a catastrophic event if he was starting to improve?
Cody needs more extensive immune modulation -Rituxan- Evulizumab/Solaris and hopefully with stem cell treatment CARRT using his OWN stem cells to reach remission and halt the APS antibodies in his significant and life- threatening, terminal case that was triggered by his Covid-19 vaccine adverse event - a peer reviewed and published case of vax injury.
Rituxan has been known to bring severe APS into remission. He FINALLY got this treatment after this 5th and 6th stroke catastrophic event but we have no help from outside sources or SSDI, etc. 💔
He needs more of this treatment!🙏
He needs the other extensive treatments so that his APS blood clotting disorder is in remission and he can have his open heart surgery.
These are resources we are fighting for- both for Cody and the other vaccine injured- so much so that I wrote a law to help Cody and other vaccine injured and that law is now being slowly reformed and worked into federal SSDI public policy!
The vaccine injured need help! We need help, to help them and to help Cody!
This journey has financially destroyed us- but we are FIGHTING strong and CODY IS FIGHTING for his life and health!
We finally have a plan that works, but we cannot afford the fight alone! We need your help! 🙏

Details & Notes from Cody’s mom:
Most who are left with devastating medical conditions after vaccine injury struggle to get care. Cody's case is no different, except that many times vaccine injuries are censored and not shared or spoken of, so they fight to get medical help and help from their communities.
Please see UPDATE section to learn about Cody's trip out of state to get Plasma Exchange Therapy and the need for him to te-take this trip in 2026.
Cody has suffered the most severe form of autoimmune APS blood clotting disorder since 2021, when hospitalized with a catastrophic auto-immune blood clotting event that left him with a pulmonary embolism, leaky heart valve, left ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, and what is now a known stroke (missed by the hosp. 2021) which left him with right side weakness and unable to walk without assistance at age 21 after his COVID mRNA vaccine.
In 2026 Libman Sacks Endocarditis, two heart blood clots, two strokes and hemolytic anemia, DVTs snd clots in all four limbs. In 2025, he had new brain clotting, and in 2024, he had an additional stroke and more APS brain injury. He also has APS-related thrombocytopenia, which is an insidious aspect of APS that brings about bleeding of internal tissues and open sores on his skin, along with the clotting of veins and arteries.
He did not have COVID infection, as shown in all of his hospital tests and the nucleocapsid blood testing - all negative.
His case is a terminal disorder - he has libman sacks after he had blood clotting in all four limbs and now six, brain clotting events, including a large frontal lobe stroke March 2026. His prognosis has moved to the point that his only chance is to continue the described immune modulation therapies which have the potential to lessen the antibodies that cause his aggressive antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) blood clotting disorder that is attempting to take his life.
Cody's case was published and peer-reviewed early on in his disease progression. We now know more since then. And this information can also help others.
To be clear, prayers and sharing his story will have just as much impact as a donation if you cannot give. Sharing his story is essential as it can save lives.
Every doctor that he saw of about 15 doctors in three hospitals and several specialties did not know that APS can take place after vaccines, and that promise is seen in some patients with the fatal version when they are treated with Rituximab and plasma exchange (according to studies).
So you can imagine, donations are much needed, but sending his story to news stations, emailing it to your state representatives, local representatives, and senators, and giving it to your pastor will all help just as much! His story can save the lives of countless others suffering like him!
God Bless you and thank you for caring for others.❤️
