Update

We've been home for a week now. Jordan is doing well and is mostly back to himself walking around and getting into everything. It has been difficult for Brent and I as he still requires a lot of nursing care and Brent really got no time to recover himself. Not a lot of sleeping or relaxation going on over here. Thursday the iv antibiotics are over and that will make things a lot easier. We are really hoping to get him eating again more normally so he can get rid of the feeding tube. As of now we have to follow him everywhere with the backpack and that is a huge pain in the neck. He starts a different chemo drug on Monday. It will be Monday - Friday for about 1-2 hours each day in the outpatient clinic. We will do that every 3 weeks for about 6 months and are looking forward to then being done with treatment.

Sounds like a positive way to start the New Year. May it continue to be so. Prayers and love to you and yours.

Great to see you yesterday Becky. Prayers for Jordan will continue in 2008 -- may tomorrow bring a tiny bit of simplicity to the busyness of caring for Jordan and your family. You're a superwoman!!!!!

Lot's of Love,

Katy

Wow, I didn't even think that you would have to follow the little guy around! How challenging! I will be in prayer for all of you and really hope things turn around for you all very soon.
Miss you,

Glad to hear you're "coming down the mountain", altho there are a few "slopes" to overcome. We'll be praying for your strength and positive attitude as you finish off this "descent".
