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.

Updates on furlough ~

Due to circumstances beyond my control this news update system is taking a break. Since Jordy is done with his chemo, and gaining weight and hair there is no need for a semi-daily updates. Jordy has weekly therapy sessions, he will have a full body scan in mid March, and will start two weeks of intense therapy by the end of March. I will report on these as needed. When new or interesting news about the McDonald family happens you guys will be the second or third to know. The McDonld family wishes to thank everyone for supporting them this last year. The communities of Central Linn and Scio should be proud of the way they help and support families with unexpected needs and hardships.
