Not much to report from yesterday and today. The doctors have decided at this point to just keep Jordan in the hospital and on IV fluids until wednesdays proceedure. His blood counts look good. The uric acid came right down when the fluids were restarted and his blast count is down to 14! He is in very good spirits and has a great appetite. Wednesday will be a big day. He will not be able to eat which will be a huge challenge. Then he will have surgery to place the port-o-cath, a bone marrow biopsy, a spinal tap and chemo infusion. Depending on when all this gets done, we will go home either wed night or thur morning. Noah has a cold so he has not been able to visit Jordan which is hard on him. Right now we are praying that the chromosomal test comes back negative today, that Noah's cold gets better soon, that Jim and I don't get Noah's cold, and that we get an early surgery time for tomorrow. Thanks for your prayers! Lara and Jim

Amazing how tough times produce "community." Thanks Jim & Lara for all your updates... it's been so cool to hear 30,000...800...190...and 14 "blast counts." Praise God (by faith) for the day there will be ZERO cancerous cells! Tell Jordan that myself and perhaps others will join him in for-going breakfast and lunch tomorrow/WED. and that everytime my tummy wants food-- I'll pray for his hungry tummy to be patient and for his strength to wait (and perhaps we'll have chicken nuggets and fruit roll ups for dinner too -- my 5 and 2 year old daughters would love such a dinner!) Love R & J

We are thinking of you today and hoping everything goes well with the surgery. Loved the pictures...Jordan looks so happy in them which makes me feel good!
Lara, I lost your cell phone number- can you email it to me when you get a chance? I want to call you but thought today sounded like a real busy day.
Thanks for the updates!
love, lianne and the Gurfs
