Gearing Up For The Big Day



October 31, 2012

Today was an emotionally rough day as we bathed Jordan, cleared up his things and prepare for his transfer tomorrow morning to Emanuel Hospital.  Tomorrow he will be transferred by ambulance and then we get him settled, visit with doctors on Thursday and surgery is planned for 7:30 a.m. on Friday.  Jordan's desats have been up the last few days, so we really feel this surgery is needed and are at peace with it but it doesn't take away the pain and fear of making the decision for your child to have a tracheotomy in his tiny little neck.  This has been such an emotional roller coaster ride that doesn't want to end. . . . yet.  

I must send out a big THANK YOU to our St. Vincent nurses and doctors.  We have appreciated all those who so lovingly took care of our little boy.  It was hard to say good bye to all those wonderful people who have made a difference in our lives.  You can tell when someone loves what they do and love those who they serve.  We love you and appreciate you so much!!!

Thank you as well for all the prayers coming our way!!!

                    Jordan without all his tubes and monitors, we took them off for his bath!
                   It had to feel so good to him! I sure loved seeing him without all his gear!
