Hello All…Jordan is doing really good, baseball is keeping him busy and bringing normalcy back in his life again, which we all welcome! All chemo treatments in and out of the hospital have been going well and his ANC level is currently at 1400.

He is still being home schooled by his wonderful teacher, Patti Smith. When he’s not in school or at baseball, Jordan loves watching every baseball game on the sports channel (yes, even the repeats) and Full House.

Mother’s Day was wonderful because I got to spend it with both of my boys and not just one. I got very emotional that morning…Shawn made me a beautiful breakfast and I got to enjoy it with my WHOLE ENTIRE FAMILY! It’s the small things in life that please me now.

We’ve all been super busy with baseball of course (and yes, Jordan’s passion is still full steam ahead)…which takes up most of our time. There is also a wedding for my niece, Jamie coming up on June 5th and we have a graduation for my other niece, Jessica who lives in Bakersfield (Jordan is super close to her). With all these family events, we wouldn’t have it any other way! This is what life is all about and it sure beats worrying about hospital stays and if Jordan will be super sick from the hard chemo and us not being able to enjoy such events as this!

I’m so happy for Tristen’s baseball team and Shawn as well (who is the manager)…they are having a GREAT season! I thought there for a while that they would go undefeated but they finally had their 1st lost on game 13. They all handled it very well and didn’t even hang their heads much which pleased me because really…they’ve had an awesome season. The regular season will be over at the end of May and end off with a tournament.

Jordan’s team is doing well. They’ve had some loses but still are ranked middle of the pack. He’s pretty much come to terms that he’s on a Dodger team and not the Angles.

Tonight Jordan is speaking at a fundraising dinner where all proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. This will be a first for us but now is so near and dear to our hearts.

With the year anniversary of Jordan’s diagnosis coming up at the end of this month, we’ve been going back to where we were a year ago. Little did we know what was around the corner…how thankful we are to say the least! I will share more thoughts about this at it draws near. My thoughts have been all over the place…

All I know is…I’m so happy we serve a God that is bigger than any obstacle, circumstance, or sickness that may come our way!
