There is NO PLACE like home !

Hi all.
We are still trying to settle into our new home. I think it is much better for us but Jordan misses her old house. I hope we can take her there soon to meet the new owners. Jordan is having therapy at an outpatient facility 3 days a week and also does some therapy at home with mom (when she allows it!). She is going back to Boston on Friday to be re-checked by the surgeon who did surgery on her vocal cords....she is still whispering!?!? and it has been 2 weeks now. I am still in hopes that her voice will come back.
It would make things much easier if people could hear what she was saying. We have had a lot of visitors "THANK YOU" for that. We do appreciate the short visits as you see how tired Jordan gets very easily.
She wants the company but she doesn't realize how much strength and effort it takes her and she gets tired and wants to sleep after visits. She is starting to walk with assistance at therapy using her right hand on the parallel bars to support her. It makes me so happy to see her trying to walk. If only we could get the left arm to straighten out. She is moving her fingers on her left hand now opening and closing them up. We are all very excited. It is so nice to have my family practically next door. It only takes Cindy 3 minutes to get here and Kim about 5. They have helped me out a lot through all of this and they are on my doorstep when I need them. I havent ventured out much away from home except to take Jordan to her appointments. I did, however, go grocery shopping and to WalMart this week. It was a very strange feeling. I also am learning how to drive again!
(ask Cindy about our dump trip experience...lol). I think she was really scared I was driving!! Jimmy & I went out on snowmobiles for about 1 hour last night....we met up with my sister, nephew, brother and brother-in-law....it was fun and such a great feeling. What a beautiful night! I also got to go snowshoeing to break a trail with Kim....lots of fun that trip as well....lol....my boot got stuck in the water hole but I fell over. I layed in the snow laughing a long time....it felt so good. I find myself going out the back door a lot just to breathe in the air. It is soooooooooo nice to be home. Jordan and I remind each other of this every day. One of her favorite things to do is to stretch out on her bed. She said it just feels good to do it. (I know what she means)
Thank you again for all of the blog posts, phone calls, visits and letters we are receiving. This has been a great lifeline for us. Jordan is trying to AIM her friends now. She is doing pretty well considering she can only use one hand to type. She tries to get on every day (if we let her).
Thank you all for your support for our family. We love you.
Keep those blogs coming !!!!!!!
Love: Jordan, Brenda & Jimmy
