Personal Chef

I have become a personal chef these days. Jordan has started eating again! He eats a few bites of something and then is on to the next. Yesterday he had cereal, pancakes, oranges, bananas, juice, coffee (mostly half and half), chocolate chips, sparkling water, and cheese and that was just for breakfast. We are so happy that he is eating, I'll make just about anything. We were thinking it was going to take a while to get the feeding tube out, but now maybe not. Before he would ask for things, look at it and then say..."don't want it, mama you eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it," and then shove it in my mouth. Chemo starts on Tuesday, so we are really hoping he keeps it up.

The other news, after all my nagging and planning, is that the final chemo day is June 3rd, with all his tests and scans on the 5th. That will be the end of his oncology treatment if everything looks good, which they expect it to. Please pray.

I'm so glad he is eating!!! Great news...and yes, my girls like to drink my coffee which is mostly cream and sugar, too. I think it makes them feel big. Thanks for letting us know about the dates and we will pray.
Love,

We are in agreement with you for a great report in Jesus name. Psalm 119.15 tells us to meditate on the Lord's precepts and consider His ways! We love you - The Bright Family

Way to go Jordan!

This is a good time to get whatever you want from your mom. Trust me, she will serve you anything.

We will be in Monday and Tuesday now. Maybe we can sneak out to the end of the Giraffe parking lot and blow up the last chemo bag in celebration.

Love you!
C, J, B & R

We had a clear checkup for our little boy last week and a fabulous Relay for Life on Friday; praying the joy continues this week to your side of the state!

I'll be thinking about you all this week, and praying for good scans and the end of this long road.
