Today's update

After receiving a few transfusions, Jordan has more energy today than in months. He is surrounded by balloons and new stuffed animals and has adapted really well to his new "bedroom". Results from tests indicate that he has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia; the most common in children. Before starting treatment, his doctors are trying to get his blood healthier so that he will tolerate the chemo well. He will start chemotherapy Tuesday or Wednesday at which point he will stay at Children's for about one more week. Chemo treatments after that will be on an outpatient basis, continuing for several years. The good news is that he's feeling well and enjoying all the time with family.
