January

Happy New Year All! The holidays were mellow for us, as expected. Jordan was recovering from Cisplatin chemotherapy which impacted his energy, immunity and overall well-being. We were just happy to stay away from the hospital.

His body is working so hard to heal from the RotationPlasty while continuing to get blasted and interrupted with chemo treatments. It's a vicious cycle. His surgeon is pleased with his progress, all things considered (picture of him and Jordan below). Jordan is also working hard to remain positive and strong during what might be the toughest time in his lifetime. His mobility is limited, being without a right leg, which is super tough for a 14 year old who is typically physically fit and active. We definitely have our moments and are really looking forward to having all of this behind us.

In the meantime, we have 3 rounds of chemo this month. 2 Methotrexate followed by our least favorite Doxorubicin/Cisplatin. The month of January will include many hospital visits, many emotions and require a ton of strength. And, when Jordan is feeling good he will be going to school. Having some normalcy and structure in our lives will help.

Thanks for following along with Jordan's journey. We value your ongoing love and support. And, as a reminder, please send your messages/pictures for the inspirational book (see last post). He couldn't do this without you all cheering him on.
