Blazer Training Camp a possibility for The McDonald boys!

2/21
Jordy has had a lot of fun during the last couple of days. Yesterday, Terry, the man who donated the Blazer's tickets, brought his wife to visit Jordy. Kyle was also able to be here. They are so nice. It was great to talk to both of them. They are also trying to work it out for Kyle and Jordy to go to a Blazer's training camp so that they can meet some of the players. More excitement for the McDonald boys! We also heard stories about Willy, the limo driver. They told us that in eight years he has never had an accident, just on little "incident." They were in Las Vegas.
Willy hit a sign which flew through a crowd of people. Luckily no one was hurt and all was well.
There was another "card party" in the hallway last night. There were six kids this time. Another girl with a type of sarcoma joined the group. At times it appeared that there was more talking going on than card playing.
It was great to see them learning from each other and realizing that they have so much in common. The parents are also enjoying the chance to compare notes. It is not often that there are this many teens here at the same time. There are plans for another gathering tonight.
After the card game, the night nurses presented Jordy with a poster listing the Top 7 Things We Love About Jordon. It is so funny! Among them are his request for staff to address him as Sir Jordon and his belief that night nurses don't do much because all of the kids are sleeping!
Even Jordon has figured out that most of the excitement in a hospital happens at night, and very few kids (including Jordy) sleep at night. We all had tears in our eyes from laughing by the time they were done reading it to Jordy.
Jordy's Methatrexate level was .41 today. It has to be under .1 to go home. We will probably be home on Monday. Jordy is taking a week off from therapy, but on Wednesday he has an appointment with the prosthetist for some adjustments.
Enjoy your homes and families. We will be doing the same soon!!!
