The cast comes off in 3 weeks!

10/23
Jordy and I just returned from a quick trip to Portland. First we went to Shriner’s . . . not as a patient, but visitors. One of Kevin’s co-worker’s daughter had surgery at Shriners so we stopped by to visit her. She has the surgeon as Jordy. After visiting ( and a short period of nausea), we went downstairs for a check-up with Dr. Krajbich. He told Jordy that he will have his cast for three more weeks. Another doctor gave him some exercises to do in his cast that will help get his brain trained to make his foot move. He is able to feel the movement in the cast.

After Shriner’s we headed to Doernbecher for a routine blood draw. The nausea was gone, so Jordy was relieved. His counts were fairly low, so he has to be very careful about getting sick. He can’t go to the mall or movie theaters and we can’t have anyone over that has been sick. Hopefully the counts will be high enough for him to start his chemo next week.

Kyle has called and sent pictures from his trip to Chicago and Indianapolis. He is having a great time!!! They have seen skyscrapers, concerts, and racetracks . . .who could ask for more? He assures me that there will be plenty of pictures to share when he gets home.
