I'm So Proud Of You Jordan Bea!

I'm so proud of you Jordan! You've come such a long way. I understand how you need your space but I can't wait to come in and see you again! I'm so glad to hear that you are talking and whispering. I can't wait until you are back at home! I miss you so much! Did you know that when you lay down in bed each night, you grow? Well, now you are the exact height as me. 5" 2'. That's big news. I hope that you are out of the hospital soon! I can't wait to see you again. I love you so much! We BELIEVE in you Jordan Bea! FAITH is what we all need to make you STRONGER and HEALTHIER. I HOPE that you are at home soon! I'm sure you miss it! Keep up the good WORK!

I love you guys to farthest galaxy and back,
Alyssa

(P.S.- I remember how the top of your head used to be at my chin! I guess we can't call you "Munchkin" or "Little Jordy" anymore can we?)

We cannot thank you enough Greta, Sadie and Lacey for coming down to meet us.
Sadie - you are so beautiful and such an inspiration to us all!
Greta - you are an amazing mother and I hope your girls (& boys) realize that! You are my
role model. I hope to be half as strong as you are!
Lacey - you are beautiful as well. In body and spirit. What an amazing sister you are!
Sadie your talk must have worked for Jordan because today she started talking (well whispering to us). We hope that you all will be lifelong friends with us and I cannot wait for the day I can bring Jordan up to your place! She will love hanging out with the girls.
Anytime you are in Windham - PLEASE stop in! You are always welcome and NEVER need an invitation !! We will never forget what you did for us and my family. Thank you.

FRIDAY - OCTOBER 19TH

Hi Everyone!
We have been very busy for the last 2 weeks and Jordan has been making amazing progress. She is speaking now in a "whisper" voice. Yesterday it was just yes & no and today she is answering all questions asked of her. She even whispered to the nurse "leave me alone". She has made a lot of people cry today (including me) but HAPPY TEARS! It is so good to hear her speak. She whispered "Hi Dad" when Jimmy came in tonight. This is such a great day. She is continuing to hold her head up more and more and she can stand and pivot to get into the wheelchair and big chair on her right leg. The left side is still the same but her arm is looser and they plan on injecting more botox in her left leg, knee and ankles to see if they can loosen up the contractured muscles. She is very aggresive these days meaning she is extremely frustrated on what has happened to her. She will try to bite, scratch, dig, pinch and kick you if you are near her. This is the stage she is going through right now but they tell us this is normal for this type of injury. I just hope this stage doesn't take that long. I already need a new pair of glasses and I would love to shave my hair off so Jordan cannot pull it anymore. She has bitten me a couple of times pretty bad. She was also able to be put in a stander. This is a device to stand her up but she is safely strapped in and it is on wheels. I pushed her around the wing and she smiled and waved to the nurses and doctors. Some special nurses even came over for hugs & kisses. Jordan seemed to really like this as she was upright and the same height as everyone. They measured her. She is now 5 feet 2 inches tall! I think they are feeding her miracle grow in here!! She is eating 3 meals a day (still pureed food) but she is still being fed also through her G-tube until she can chew & swallow food normally. This is coming along well. Everyone on the Team is very excited about Jordan's progress these last 2 weeks. She is working very hard.
So long for now because I cannot wait to go back in and listen to her whisper to us.
Just so you all know I have moved home and I am not staying at Ronald McDonald house anymore. I travel back and forth every day now. The drive in kills me but Jordan has someone with her 24 hours a day now that they call a "sitter" to make sure she does not get out of bed and fall and hurt herself. I feel better knowing someone is with her and I am trying to get a little bit of the "real world" feeling back. I went to the grocery store Monday night and it felt so strange and I didn't know what to get for food. It all felt very strange to me.
Our old house is now gone and our new house is beautiful. I can't wait for the day to bring Jordan home. They are still predicting by Christmas! That is the only present we need!
Thank you for the continued support, love, prayers, gifts and meals. We Love you all !!
Love: Brenda, Jimmy & Jordan

AMAZING VISIT!!!!

Jordan,

Thank you for an amazing visit today. I am so proud of how strong you are. When you whispered my name and said I love you I couldn't control my emotions. You've made my entire day, week, month. You continued to talk (with a light whisper) as I asked you questions and everything I asked you, you answered correctly. I'm so proud of you.

Love you,
Jenny

Jordan your a funny gal!

Hi Jordan,

You have been providing some great comic relief. As usual, I love to embarass your mom and tease her. She's been telling me about this "McDreamy" doctor of yours and I have only seen him once or twice briefly. While he is no Patrick Dempsey, he is handsome. The other day I asked in front of the doctor, your dad, and mom if you thought he was a "McDreamy" of course you have good taste and gave the thumbs up. We all chuckled and the doctor thanked you and you immediately gave him the thumbs down. It was so funny! Your still so full of zest and I love it. Maybe you'll even get a "McSteamy" doctor...I'll be in there all day and night if you do, ha! For those that don't know, watch Grey's Anatomy and you'll meet McDreamy and McSteamy and be hooked to the show! I can't wait to come see you today. I'll make sure to bring in some fun nail polish so I can paint your nails again.

I love you, have a great day in thearpy!

Love,
Jenny :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Hey Brenda and Jim, We just wanted to drop a quick line and let you know how nice it was for the two of you to stop by yesterday. We realize how precious each moment is for you, and that made your quick visit even more special. Keep smiling and we will keep each of you in our thoughts and prayers!

It certainly makes a huge difference to hear about Jordan's progress directly from you......she is truly AMAZING (must get her strength and courage from both of you)! My Jimmy is looking forward to seeing Jordan's newest hand signals. We hope the plans can be carried out for Saturday. We will be in touch with you later this week.

Keep fighting Jordan....we believe you are strong enough to recover from and conquer all of the obstacles set in front of you!

Karen, Jim and Will
