Jordan started his second round of chemo today. This one includes one spinal tap a week, and then chemo in different forms, and in different intervals. For instance, today he took his chemo in pill form and by IV...one that was a push and the other that was given to him over an hour time span. The doctors smashed his pill today and put it through his feeding tube, however, with how well he is able to eat more solid foods, they are thinking he will be able to swallow the pills in no time.

The spinal tap today was very scary for Jordan. He has had 3 others, but today was the first time he was alert with no type of sedation. He did great and it went well. Jordan is on round the clock medication for nausea, however, it is yet to be seen how he will react to this round of chemo.

This round of chemo will last for the next month, and then it will start all over again. The good thing about it is that it can be given to him as an out-patient. He is still in the hospital because of how sick he was to begin with. They haven't given any specifics as to when he will be going home, but at least it is a possibility! He is being moved to another hospital soon, the day is yet to be determined.

For those of you who have been asking, the Stater Bros in Calimesa will be holding a Blood Drive on July 10th to benefit Jordan's Cause. More details will follow soon!
