Jordy's still got that basketball knack!

Jordy had two sessions of physical therapy today. He walked on a treadmill (forward, backward, and sideways!), walked up and down stairs, karate kicked bolsters, and other fun activities (I think Jordy would have a different term than fun). The most amazing thing to me was when he stood on a teeter-totter type of contraption and shot baskets. I am pretty sure that I would have fallen down if I had tried the same thing. I just rebounded and passed him the ball. He also stood on a trampoline and shot baskets. The therapist told him to use his legs. He told her that his mom and coach used to say that to him all the time!

After a long day in Portland, Jordy went to his dad’s company dinner. The people at Smith’s have been great to us, and many really wanted to see his shoes that were signed by LeBron James. It was wonderful to hear the encouraging words from Kevin’s co-workers and their families. They are a great group of people.

For now Jordy is going to therapy and waiting to get his in-patient therapy at Shriner’s scheduled. Oh, and some other good news . . . on Thursday Jordy will be meeting with the man who is going to paint his car as part of his wish with the Children’s Cancer Association. We will let you know details as we find them out.

Enjoy the sun and the rain.
