Hi Ellen:

Perhaps you could get Cody to meet with the little boy in Manhattan who lost his legs recently when a building wall fell on him. He will not talk about it at all. He is so sad. He's had a few operations and lots of infections. I think Cody could bring him out of his shell. What an inspiration.

I knew there was a reason why I left my office today to work out mid afternoon and watch Ellen - yes this reason was to meet Cody on Ellen's show today. I am completely inspired - Cody is a miracle and I thank him for what he is doing. This is not a "kid"!!!!! I want to get involved in Cody's work. Thank you Ellen for this story and thank you Cody!

Ellen,

I have always loved your show and I love it even more. Cody's story was so inspirational. I will always try to remember that little cherub face when I think I am going through a tough time. Nothing I have been through can compare. I can only imagine what those soldiers felt when Cody went and visited them and told them "Don't be afraid". So simple, but so strong to come from such a little boy. God has this child destined for some big things.

Bless you Ellen and keep up the great work.

Ellen - Thank you so much for bringing children like Cody on your show. What an inspiration and blessing Cody is for EVERYONE.

Ellen I live in Dallas, Texas and LOVE Soccer and I noticed that Cody plays.

I would love to donate 2 Season Tickets to Cody for the FC Dallas MLS Games for the 2008 Season.

Please help me in contacting Cody and making him apart of Soccer fun.

Cody - You are a dream.....;-)

I am a 63 year old woman who is currently undergoing radiation and chemo treatments for colon cancer. I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself until I saw that amazing little boy, Cody. What right do I have to feel sorry for myself when one so young has already undergone more pain and strife in his little life than I ever will and has such a great attitude. Thank you for showing me how to appreciate what I have not what might happen. Jodie

Ellen,the best part of your show today was listening to Cody talk. people all over th world need to hear his story and realize that there are no excuses in the world. we can all do what we want to do. if cody and other children with disabilities can do it than so can we. Cody, you are an inspiration. keep up that great attitude you have.

Cody,
You are a blessing...here I lay in my bed feeling a little sorry for myself and God just sends an angel named Cody to brighten so many peoples day. Especially mine!!!!!
God Bless You...
Ellen you too!!

It was quite amazing to see Cody this morning. My son who is 4 months old now was born with Prune Belly Syndrome and an undeveloped right leg. He too will need a prosthetic leg. Its a comfort to know that there are no limitations for kids like Cody and my son. I hope that as my son grown older, he too will be an inspiration for others. Good luck Cody!
