The week to come...

Here is a little information about our upcoming week. Monday Jordon has a blood draw in Salem. It is great that the doctor has been able to schedule these weekly appointments in Salem! Sometime on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday Jordon will go to Portland for an ultrasound of his veins. This will update the information about the blood clot in his arm and give the doctors more information regarding the placement of his port. Thursday is scheduled for his port placement surgery. From surgery he will check into the pediatric oncology outpatient clinic for chemo. The doctor said that the medication used this time should not cause so much nausea. They are also going to try some different medications this time. Jordy should be in the hospital for about four days.

Also, Jordon has agreed to check his e-mail more often so I will give all of you his own address. He may not always be able to check it when he is not feeling well, but if you have anything you want sent directly to him, feel free. I am also still willing to give him messages or receive messages or questions for Kevin, Kyle, and I. An additional note . . . our mailing address is PO Box 92, Scio, OR 97374. We get things sent to our physical address, but the post office prefers the PO Box.

Jordy has gained 11 pounds since returning from the hospital!!! The food from our friends is really helping. I think he gets tired of Mom’s same old cooking. When the cooler comes home he rushes to see what Dad brought home.

Thanks for all of the good thoughts and wishes. We appreciate everything that everyone has done!
