Things are much better today!

11/7
Am back in the loop a little bit now, so here goes. Jordy's blood got lost or made a break for freedom and after a long delay he flunked his test today, but it was close enough that he got to go to the volleyball tournament. The girl mentioned below had surgery today (broke in three places). The McDonalds got lost and missed the game they wanted to see.
They are spending the night in Wilsonville and Jordy will be giving more blood to science in the morning. If he passes this test it is home to Scio til Wednesday. I have it on good authority the Scio people petitioned the doctors to take off Jordy's cast Wednesday so he can shower. Stay tuned and upwind until then.

Good evening.
Today Jordy had a much better day than yesterday. The Atavan is out of his system, and he is making so much more sense. Thank goodness!!!
I was able to go to the state volleyball tournament. Jordy's fourth/fifth grade teacher, Pam Dowdy, coaches at Heppner. It was a great game until their captain broke her leg in a big way. I have never witnessed such an injury. Two people passed out. The girls returned to the game and lost 14-16. At least the down time gave me a chance to visit with Pam's husband and kids. I hope the player is ok and the girls can play well tomorrow.
I was feeling VERY guilty while I was at the game. I decided to buy Jordon's approval with a new magazine and Kentucky Fried Chicken. when I got back Jordy was so excited . . . another race car driver came by the hospital. He even gave Jordy one of his shirts that he wore. Jordy says it smells funny, but is really cool. Funny smells are another side-effect of the chemo. Jordy had a great time talking cars. Where was this guy when Jordy was reacting ti his meds and asking weird car questions? I could have used his back up!
All in all, Jordy had a good day. He felt pretty good, talked cars, and got a break from his mama.
Now he is just waiting for updates on the Central Linn and Scio State Football games.
Hopefully we will head home tomorrow. If all works out, we may stop by the volleyball tournament.
