appointments. We went to urology and they tried to
take out the catheter and see if he could go enough on
his own. It wasn't successful so they put it back in.
Darn! We are all a little sick of that bag. It
seemed a little early though. The oncologists say
that as the tumor cells are dying they actually swell
first, so you wouldn't expect a lot of pressure off
the bladder yet. Maybe next week. They also drew
blood from his port, which was surprisingly not a big
deal to Jordan. The Childlife specialist came with a
bear that had a port and all the medical stuff the
nurse had for Jordan to administer to the bear. In my
mind I'm thinking...he's only 13 months, he's just
going to throw it or stick it in his mouth, but he
actually pulled off the tape and swabbed the bear
with the q-tip, and used the syringe. It was very
cute. And no crying, thank goodness!
The next appointment is Friday as long as he does ok
this week. Please pray for him as he has a cold (has
had it for last 3 weeks) and is going into this week
where his counts are supposed to drop.
We are doing ok. We are praying for courage to fight
this battle and believing in the Lord to give it to
us.

It is so comforting when you know you are being lifted up in prayer, so I just wanted to remind you that we are praying for all of you and all the volunteers/helpers.
Dear Brent and Becky,
I am keeping you in my prayers. Your faith will give you the strength you need to get through each day. Thank you for sharing through the website. I will light a special candle at church for Jordan. God bless you all.
