Treatment from here forward...

10/24
I just realized that I have not given much information about Jordy’s treatment from here forward. Starting next week he will have three weeks in a row where he will be at the hospital for 3 to 6 days per week. The last session will include the medication that is the hardest on him, but the good news is that will be the last dose of that particular medication!!!! After that he will have a two week break, then three weeks in a row of chemo and one week off. He will do the three weeks on, one week off routine three times. This is all sort of confusing, but the short story is that he will have about four more months of chemo. After he is finished with the chemo he will have about two weeks of inpatient therapy at Shriner’s. They told us it will take two to three days just to align the prosthesis.

Although this is difficult for Jordy, there is beginning to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Even though he is about halfway through the treatment, getting past the “newness” and the surgery have been huge! Now we just have to keep him from getting sick so that he does not have any delays.

We also have some thank you’s to add. Thanks for the generiosity of the employees at Smith Seed. Kevin is lucky to work with such a great group of people. Also, thanks so much to all of the families that have sent meals our way. The food has been wonderful. Thank you to Joan, Marguerite, and Dee for organizing all of the food. It is very much appreciated.

This journey has been rough, but our friends and family have smoothed out the road a bit. Thanks again.

Tonight Jordy is going to cheer on the Scio Loggers as they take on Culver at the football game. It should be a good game.
