Monday October 26th

It's hard to believe that it has now been 45 days since we checked into Jefferson on Sept 12th! That's a lot of days but Jord's room is filled with love, laughs, and lots of good vibes daily!

It was with a positive attitude and fighting spirit that Jord started chemo (again) at the end of last week, and he is already more than halfway through this second course which is a total of six days- 12 doses of treatment administered every 12 hours. Not surprisingly, the treatment is hitting his system hard. While we know this is by design, as the chemo is killing the cancer, the toxic nature of the treatment means the rest of his body and cells get beaten up too.....especially with back-to-back treatments! Jord is being tough, and all parties (medical and non-medical) continue to marvel at how strong he is... but there is no question, this is just no fun! 

Thanks for all the continued prayers and positive vibes being sent our way. Jord really gets strength knowing family and friends from all across the world, and from many different parts of his life are cheering him on. Much appreciated!!!

Lastly, we wanted thank Christopher Shuman who organized a group of eager and generous supporters to participate in the Light the Night walk, benefitting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Christopher did this in Jord's honor and Christopher's "fishing for the cure" team had amazing success. Thanks to Christopher and to all of you who participated with your feet or your spirit!
