to say the least, was very stressful. I started
crying yesterday as the nurse went over the 11
different medicines we were bringing home. Some of
them are just as needed, but it was unbelivably
overwhelming to try and sort out when he was to be
given what, how much, which drug was which as they all
have 2-3 different names. Anyways, we've got it
figured out now. He didn't have the greatest of
nights. A lot of tossing and turning until about 5 am
when he finally conked out.
We went into a clinic appt. today and have another
appointment on Monday with oncology and urology. I
always thought the urology guys at the hospital must
be strange. Who would choose that anyways? I have to
say they are my favorites now after Dr. Hawkins our
main oncologist, and Kristin my friend, the nurse
practitioner.
He's got a catheter to drain his urine since the tumor
is blocking up his urethra. We are hoping that it
shrinks enough in the next few weeks that he will no
longer need it. If he does, they will do another
surgical procedure for an indwelling catheter that
doesn't provide so much risk for infection. We are
hopin got avoid that.
Please pray for the tumor to shrink quickly, our
family's adjustment as I know it is hard on the other
kids as well, good sleep and no pain for Jordan, and
protection as his white blood cell counts may drop
next week. Thank you.
Many more thanks for all of the support. We came home
to a sparkling house thanks to my Mom and Dad, Liz,
Wendy, and Jay, and the kids have been well taken care
of by so many. God has used so many of you to sustain
and encourage us during this very difficult time.
Thank you for your faithfulness to Him and us.

Our family is praying constantly for all of you, but especially Jordan. Although I know it is the most important thing that we can do, it leaves me feeling inadequate. Is there anything we can do to tangibly meet your needs? Nothing is too menial a task. Please let me know!
