No News is Good News!

Hello to all! Well… you know what they say, “no news is good news”!

It has been quite some time since an update and Jordan; I’m pleased to say is doing pretty well. School is good, baseball is good, and spirits are good! He turned 11 in January and is thriving in all areas…we couldn’t be happier!

The weekend of Jordan’s birthday, he filled in as an extra player on Tristen’s baseball team and really did well. Jordan was a little apprehensive at first because the boys are older and he’s used to playing with kids on his own travel ball team, but he had nothing to worry about and held his own! It was a great way to spend his birthday…playing baseball! We wouldn’t have it any other way!

He still undergoes the same treatment and we are fast approaching the 2 year mark of Jordan being on chemo therapy with 2 ½ more years left to go. We continually make trips to Kaiser for blood work and chemo (at times it seems grueling) but really, we do appreciate life as we do so. Not to mention, the doctors and nurses are really our extended family now.

Next month is our make a wish trip to Walt Disney World, we are so excited and was just told by our make a wish finder, “That we are going to have the time of our lives!”

Jordan has been home from school all week battling fevers, a sore throat and a chest cold. We barely avoided a hospital stay, but because we remain in faith and trust God to carry us through every circumstance, we have been able to stay home! This is always our main priority! Today, he seems to be on the mend. I sure hope he’s taking a turn for the better, all though, we forget he’s not your average child, with the normal immune system. So patience is a virtue with us these days.

If I had to request the focus a prayer at this time, it would be that Jordan is strong and healthy, with no bugs, flu’s or viruses that would keep us home from making our trip to Florida next month. The last thing we need is to miss such an exciting trip to Walt Disney World.

May God be continuing to watch over your families, keeping them healthy and whole!
