Doubleheader

Well after two and a half months of chaos and most of our time spent at the hospital, we for the first time, had not one, but two family outings. That means everybody including Jordan left the house together to go somewhere that people don't wear blue gloves. Jordan was overjoyed. Saturday we were invited to a spontaneous gourmet dinner at our friends the Smiths. And, Sunday was Jordan's birthday party at my parents. Both times he smeared cake and icecream everywhere and tore around the house dumping out whatever he could find. He even threw a beautiful European music box across the room onto the hardwood floor at my parents. You can get away with a lot when you are two and have cancer. Jordan had to go to the hospital today for labs which is not a big deal. We went visiting after. The highlight of the day was delivering a stuffed Elmo to another two year old (Kayla) who after 4 months is finally leaving the hospital. She usually has such a sad face, but she lit up with smiles when she opened the gift. It made me cry. We also visited Ben who was admitted yesterday. He is getting better, but please pray for him as he is recovering from a very difficult round of chemo. We are hoping to stay home, and don't have any other appointments until October 31st and then are admitted on November 2nd for his next round of chemo.
