JORDAN!!! You are absolutely soooooooooo amazing!!! I can't even tell you how happy I am to hear that you are starting to move more on your own! I know you are going to wake up, it's just a matter of time. Keep up the good faith, and good things will happen. We all miss and love you very much Jordan!

Jimmy and Brenda, you see what happens when people say negative things??? They get proved wrong! Keep up your faith too. I'm glad to hear you guys are out and about too (hospital air can get stale after a while.) Stay on the positive side.

With Love,

here is just somthing that will make you smile

Here is just a little somthing for you
ida:)

Your Friends will support you....


And respect your creativity
for thinking outside the box....


They'll be there when you need a
shoulder to lean on....


Or a great big hug....



A true friend takes interest in
understanding what you're all about....


They see beyond the black and white
to discover your true colors....


And accept you just the way you are...
Even when you just wake up in the morning


So make your own kind of music....


Follow your heart wherever it takes you....


And when someone reaches out to you,
Don't be afraid to love them back....


They may just be a friend for life....


Practice patience and tolerance....











Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave....
And impossible to forget!

HOWDY !!

A BIG KISS, HUG AND HELLO FROM SADIE, DANA AND DAVE !!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS !! AND ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE GOOD NEWS !!!

WEDNESDAY A.M.

Good Morning to Everyone!
In case you haven't figured it out from the posts ~ Jordan gave me a "purposeful" hug yesterday. She made her nurse cry!! (me too!) She is working so hard it is amazing.
She picked her head up and her shoulders (I thought she was going to sit right up in bed).
She only made it a little ways but she was trying very hard. We had our weekly "Team" meeting yesterday and the therapists were so excited to give their reports. Jordan is doing some purposeful movements and seems to be really trying to communicate with us. It takes her a while to process but although delayed she does some commands. She is now off the pick line which was another form of nutrition off her. Her trach hole is healing well and she is off all monitors. The only thing she is getting is what they call NJ tube feeding through her nose.
This goes down through her belly and into her intestine to feed her. We get her into a wheelchair twice a day now to get her out of the bed and into a different environment for stimulation. We wheeled her down to the intensive care unit to visit with some of her nurses.
They were very pleased to see her. She is tollerating this well although sometimes it becomes too much for her. She has been cleared for friends to visit although the doctors want to make sure there is not too many in one day or at one time. They also want us to watch Jordan to make sure her repsonses to friends is positive. Sometimes children don't want their friends to see them in this condition and in Jordans case she probably doesn't understand what has happened to her and why she is in the hospital. Maybe we could try to set up some sort of schedule for visits ?!?
The tape you made for Jordan was awesome!! I have played it to her a couple of times. She really seems to get excited especially when she sees Arrissa!! Thank you so much for it.
See ~ all this prayers, love and support is working for Jordan so please "Bring It On"!!!!!!!
we Believe!
Love: Brenda, Jimmy & Jordan

Hello

Hey Emerson Family! I am soo glad to hear all the progress you have made, Jordan! Today I was home from school, (I was sick) and my mom called me from her work to tell me all the amazing things that you did today, and it brightened up my whole day! I am so proud of you and I cant wait to see you. I hope I can come in and visit you really soon.
Love you so much!

Your Friend For Life,
Sally Coggins (:

PROUD

Hi jordy!!!!!! i was so excited when alyssa e-mailed me to tell me the good news!!! Now, don't go giving all you hugs away, cause I need about 50 million of 'um!!! i'm so proud of you, jordy!!!! I love you (all of windham does!!!) and i miss you sooooooo much! SMILE!

LOVE,
SpringP

Hi Jordan Bea!!!

Hello Emersons!!! Jordan, I'm so glad to hear that you respond to commands. I can't wait to see you again!!! When I found out that you gave your mom a bear hug I wanted to rush over there just like Jenny did and ask for one!!! School is definately not the same without you. Just a few days ago I was remembering all the games we used to play with eachother at Birchwwod. We would play alligator on the jungle gym at the little kids playground. We would also play Mr. McGreggor where we would pretend to be bunnys and we had to get away from Ahleigh who would always be Mr. McGreggor. I can't wait until you wake up!!! As soon as they allow visitors to come and see you, I'm gonna be there. As quick as a flash!!!! You can count on it! Jimmy and Brenda, I'm still thinking about you guys every day and I hope that Jordan is up and on both feet soon!!! It's pretty cool that she gave you a hug Brenda!! Keep up the good work Jordan!!! We BELIEVE in you! Windham loves you!! I love you and can't wait to see you soon!!!!!! Let's see that smile Jordan Bea!!!!!

Lots of love,
Alyssa Nielsen :)

Hello

Jordan,
Sounds like you have so much to look forward to! You are such a strong young lady. Everyone is so proud of you for the progress you've made. My family and I think of you often and hope you get better with each passing day. You can do it! Have faith and believe in yourself, precious little one!

Jimmy & Brenda,
We wish you both strength to get through each day, one day at a time. Like everyone here, we have been viewing this board, praying for good news. I have not had the chance to meet Jordan in person, but I can tell she's an amazing young lady who is loved and adored by many. I spoke to Kim briefly this morning. She filled me in on the progress Jordan is making. It gave me goosebumps to hear such wonderful news. Your rainbow really is on it's way!
I came by on Sunday to drop off some things for the fundraiser at Windham High School. I only wish that I had stayed to meet you and hear your speech. I admire you for your courage. That is not an easy thing to do...

~All our prayers and hopes,
The Bailey's (Dan Bubar's sister & family)

Great to see you Tuesday

Hey Jordan,

It was great to see you earlier this week, I hope some of that new music has been fun to listen to the past couple of days. I'll be in to visit again soon, and hope that I can bring Eric with me too... did we ever determine who was "it?" I bet it's Eric, from what I hear you always beat him at that game.Take care, our thoughts and prayers are with you from Concord and we're all proud of how strong you've been.

Love,

Kyle & Laura

Hey Jordan, Jimmy, and Brenda! Emily and I have some pics of all three of us in our super awesome hats on our myspace pages, and I thought super awesome people would like to see 'em! So, here they are!

I think Jordan's hair is really pretty in the one on the bottom, don't you?? Anyway, Jordan, I can't wait untill you wake up! Man, I miss you soooooo much!!! Cherokee does too! Can't wait to see you! I'm coming to see you as soon as they let me! I promise.

Lots of love and well wishes,

Desi

Hey Sunshine....

Jordan Bea...we all agree with Counsin Jenny - you are truly AMAZING!!!! Keep up the awesome work! I know Sally, Eric and I are going to needs some hugs soon too!!! We can't wait!!!! We are so very proud of you and we love you!!! Keep the faith and BELIEVE!!!!!

Terry, Eric and Sally

Your AMAZING!!

Jordan,

I just want to say that you were amazing today! I had the best visit with you and I look forward to many more visits like today. Aunt Brenda told me that she asked you for a hug today and that you lifted your arm and set it on her back. I drove right over to see you. Sure enough, I asked you for a hug and I got one. I'm sure you were very annoyed that I asked you for so many hugs after that. I can't wait to see you tomorrow and I look forward to our special plans on Friday. I love you with all my heart....I'm impressed by all your progress.

I can't wipe the smile off my face. Your getting better everyday. I can't wait until you wake up so we can converse back and forth about everything.

Love,
Jenny

MISS YOU ALL!!!! AMAZING NEWS!!!

Good Day Emerson Family ~ We were so excited to see your recent posts from the weekend and the progress that Jordan continues to show you each and every day! We are happy to hear that "mittens" is home safe and sound, too!

Keep up the amazing strength Jordan! Jim and Brenda, we think of you and hold all of you in our hearts each day. WE BELIEVE!

P.S. Thanks Jenny for your reminder on how to post on the blog!

Love to all,
Karen, Jimmy & Will

Hello to Jordan

Dear Jordan,

Hi, It's Mrs. Clark. I have finally figured out how to post a note to you! Guess I am not as tech savy a person as I thought I was :(

Jordan, we at WMS are thinking of you everyday and we know you are feeling our love and support. We are encouraged by all the things you are doing to let us know you are right here with us. And we are not at all surprised by how hard you are working--we know you are one determined young woman.

Sally, Kayla, Ida and I are working on a special project for you that we should have put together in the next week. We know you will love it and we have had a wonderful time getting it together for you.

Stay strong, dear one, and feel us all there with you. Tell your parents I send my best to them and to just say the word if there is anything Windham Middle School can do for them right now.

Much love,

Barbara Clark

GOOD EVENING !!!

DANA

Good Evening

Hi Jimmy, Brenda and Jordan

I am so glad to have found this post. I am trying to keep updated on Jordan's progress, and let Uncle Norm how things are going. He calls a couple of times a week and always asks for Jordan. I am inspired by your strength (all three of you) and I am keeping you in my prayers. I believe that Jordan is taking this time to heal, and she may have an amazing story to tell you one day. It is great to see the whole town rally behind you, and I love seeing Jordan's friends send her updates. I hope that soon she will be able to tell you about her great adventure. Be strong.

DeAnna & Family

Hey Jordan, Jimmy, and Brenda,

The walk was AWSOME! I was so glad that you guys came and that Brenda spoke. The turn out was great. It was so awsome when we walked the track and you could see the line behind us, it was like half the track!! Everyone is BELIEVEING in Jordan. She is getting stronger and stronger each and every day. BELIEVE

Love Always,
Kayla Dugas :)

Hey Jordan!

Hey Jordan, it's Lauren D.

Yesterday was the fundraiser walk for you and the turnout was amazing!!! There was so many people there to support you and your family and I know that A LOT of money was raised! I'm glad to hear how you are doing and I try to check this website everyday to see how you are. We don't really know each other that well, but I know you well enough to know that you are a strong girl and you will get through this!

Lots of Love,
Lauren Delcourt

Hello Jordan, Brenda & Jimmy

This is Tammy, Dan Bubars little sister. I know you don't really know me, but I remember Jimmy from years ago when he raced with Dan, wow thats a blast from the past, for me anyways. I first met Jordan out at the races when she was with Kelsey this year, and I couldn't believe how much she looked like Jimmy, sweetie pie :) I just want you to know that my family thinks of you everyday and we pray for you all alot. Missy, Dan and the girls keep us updated as often as they can about Jordans recovery. I hear that the benefit for Jordan this past Sunday went extremely well, unfortunatly we couldn't make it. I was so proud of Kelsey and what she did for Jordan at beechridge last week, she should be very proud of herself. I know how much she cherrishes her friendship with Jordan, she is a true friend. My children Matthew and Julia ask about Jordan everyday and they are happy to hear that she is making some good progress, Julia even wrote a story about her during her class at school, I will save it and give it to you. Its humbling to know that you have such a great support system out there. Jordan has touched the lives of many many people, and I believe that she will forever. We believe in her and we'll keep praying everyday. WE BELIEVE.

Take care
Tammy, Reggie, Matthew and Julia Wyman

MITTENS WAS FOUND YESTERDAY !!!!!

I forgot the most important thing! Donny found mittens yesterday in his race car trailer he used 2 weeks ago to move our house. Mittens is an indoor cat except when Jordan has her in the wheelbarrel pushing her around or putting her down the slide or taking her on the 4-wheeler for a ride around the house!! She got out when the house doors were open moving furniture and must have jumped in the trailer and was hiding. She even went to the races at Beechridge. They keep the side doors and back doors open the whole time they are at the track. She never jumped out. Donny happened to see her move yesterday and couldn't believe his eyes. She looks pretty healthy for no food or water for 2 weeks!! She is now at the new house with Jimmy, Grammy, Princess, Biscuit and PeeWee. I called last night and she was crying to me over the phone. She slept with Jimmy under the covers. I can't wait to see her!!
YESTERDAY WAS A GREAT DAY !!!!!!!

Love, Brenda

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!
The walk/run for Jordan was amazing yesterday!!! Jimmy & I have heard about the community getting together and we are so glad we came to see it in person. We were overwhelmed with the support for Jordan and us as well. It was so good to see everyone and we talked about it afterwards saying some people may have talked to us and we have no idea what they said (we were having Jordan's "blonde moments"). We cannot thank you all enough. That boosted us up so high and was amazing to see all these families pulling together and realizing it was for us!
I have to tell you all that the speech I wrote was written about a week ago. One morning I got up early and walked from RM house to Jordan's hospital room and pulled out my journal and sat beside her and just started writing. It came from the heart. Then I knew I wanted to share it with all of you so we picked the walk for me to read it. I thought for sure I would never get through it but surprised myself and my family for doing it! I too am shy like Jordan but I got strenght knowing that it would help us and her and to tell you all more about her.
One thing I left out is that our friends (@ the farm in NH) bought Jordan a 4 year old horse.
They showed Jordan pictures of the horse the weekend before the accident up a our camp in Solon. Jordan could not wait to get through the following week because on Friday we were driving her down to New Hampshire to meet her horse and to name it. That day never came (YET) so we are not sure what Jordan had picked for a name or whether or not she wanted her to keep the same name (Cochena). She is beautiful. She is Arabian and white with unusual markings on her. She has big eyes like Jordan and we tell Jordan she is "one of a kind" just like her owner. The plan will be to someday bring her to our new home in Windham.
Our new house is on Route 115 (know today as Tanberg Trail). We are very close to the Windham/West Gray line. Jordan knew about this house and has been to it several times as we have been working on this for 7 months. The rules were ~ we could move as long as we stayed in Windham because Jordan wanted to stay in her school with all of her friends. But now we are very close to my family which is going to be great fun! and we have grammy living with us.
The house is a ranch so it is all one level and open concept so it will be easy to get around in.
We cannot wait to bring Jordan home! We cannot wait for her 1st sleepover their with her friends!!
Jordans nurse kept a journal for us yesterday while we were gone so that we would not miss anything that happened. They are so wonderful to us at the hospital. The nurses are now fighting over who gets to take care of her. The day and night nurses!! I took the leftover goodies to them yesterday and everyone in the Barbara Bush Wing says "THANK YOU" very much! They were very pleased to here about everything to happen yesterday and to see the smile on our faces. It was a great day! Jordan had a great day! We cannot wait for our weekly "TEAM" meeting tomorrow to see what all of the treating doctors and therapists have to say about Jordan. We will keep you updated!
Again "thank you for yesterday" ~ thank you for your generosity ~ and most of all thank you for keeping Jordan close to your heart and in your prayers!
Love: Jimmy, Brenda & Jordan

p.s. We gave Jordan all of your hugs yesterday!!! Remember hug someone & "pass it on"!
&
Mr. Green I also forgot to mention the record at Seacoast Fun Park. She will be looking forward to beating that some day!!

BEAUTIFUL DAY !!

Hello !!
Wow, what a wonderful day today was......... Warm fall sun and a whole world of love, the turnout at your walk was amazing ! Jordan, I cannot wait for you to meet Sadie,(I think she is like your second cousin??) Your mom and dad met her today, she made them both smile !!
I hope that you like the book, " Angel Horses" that I sent with your parents. There are some really inspirational stories in there ! I am sure that you will love it ! My mom gave me a copy of the book and some of the stories really have touched my heart.
Speaking of touching my heart, Brenda, your speech today was breath taking. You did such an amazing job with it ! You all are so strong and it was great to see you today ! Please Please Please give Jordan a kiss for Dave and me ! We have been thinking of you every day and I am so happy now that I know how to post on here because we can now let you know that you are in our daily prayers and forever in our hearts. We are here for you !! And most of all, we BELIEVE !!!

DANA, DAVE & SADIE
