More Chemo

Jordan had more chemo on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, Jordan was admitted into hospital for another spinal tap along with chemo inserted into his spine during this procedure. While he was asleep for the spinal tap they also inserted another pic line in the opposite arm. The surgeon thoughts still remain the same and he feels Jordan is still not ready for the port in his chest yet. Hopefully, when we get to the maintenance phase, possibly around February, we can start this discussion again about the port.

We had to go back to hospital on Saturday for more chemo, this time two more injections in each thigh. Of course, all side effects kicked in by Saturday night and his eating stopped. It's now Monday morning and I can see that Jordan is starting to come around very slowly.

For all you prayer warriors out there - while yes, we need prayers for the leukemia to stay in remission permanently and for weight to come on, we also need Jordan to be protected from the aggressive flu season that is upon us. I am stunned with how many families have been hit so hard with the flu already. Jordan cannot afford to get anything right now, especially with his immune system so suppressed. He needs protection in all areas.

Thank you to all for your continued support and prayers, they are so needed right now. More than you'll ever know.

  1. Hi Macias Family,

    We were hit last week with the swine flu, officially, and had a scare with Benjamin. While he is recovering well now, I couldn't help but imagine the kind of ordeal you're going through. Just know that you are loved, are being prayed for, and are always in our thoughts.

    All our love,

    The Taylors
