Hi Everyone - It's us again
It's Tuesday a.m. I couldn't sleep much last night thinking about Jordan. Her surgery was for her Tracheotomy and she was given a feeding tube in her belly. (i have no idea how to spell these words). It means that Jordan is breathing on her own and is getting fed and she has already had 1 1/2 bottles of what we call (frosty or chocolate milkshake). What I meant by her face is now there is nothing on her face to stop me from kissing her forehead, eyes, nose, lips, cheeks, ears - (I think you get the picture!) I got to get in bed with her a couple of times. I know she is too old for that but I just cant help it. I love all of your stories and as I am reading I am remembering her telling me and laughing myself about it. She has the best group of friends!! She is still sleeping and we are trying to keep her visits short and not too much talking but enough for her to know we are there. Jimmy and I feel so proud that she has touched so many hearts. Right now all we can do is thank you ALL for your substantial support, cards, phone calls and e-mails. We are in this for the "long-haul" and will fight the fight! We have a saying now ~ "bring it on!". Everytime I loose it someone is always there to pick me back up, brush me off, and throw me back in with a good attitude. We are staying at the Ronald McDonald House - Jimmy said it's his version of "Aunt Bea" on Andy Griffith. They are so good to us. We did go home to get some of Jordans clothes yesterday. She looked good in her Windham Soccer shirts (see below) and her favorite cropped sweat pants. They will be putting her in her own clothes now everyday. The outpouring support and generosity of all of you has touched our hearts deeply and more than you will ever know. We are hoping for another good day and as the saying goes "bring it on!" We Love You ALL!! Keep the hope & faith as we will also. She may be small but she is one tough cookie! Love, Jimmy, Brenda & Jordan

Good Morning Jim-Jim, Brenda and Jordan! We are so glad to hear that Jordan will be in her favorite clothes each day......I sent an e-mail through the MMC site yesterday and hopefully you'll get that today. It says Fergie Rocks and we can't wait for another hot tub party at Club Jimmy. You are ALL in our thoughts and prayers daily. Keep the FAITH,keep touching, kissing and holding that precious little girl. We do BELIEVE that Jordan will ride that new horse soon! I love this blog and HOPE that it gives you all the encouragement and support you deserve. Jim sends his love from Massachusetts.
Stay strong.......Love, Karen, Jim Will, Carter and Kathy
