Not a great day & Nadia please contact me!

nadia (or someone who knows her), you left a comment on my blog, but i have no way of contacting you, could you please email me? i would love to talk about some of the things that have gone on with your son and maybe some things that have helped him. it's nice to know that someone knows what you are going to and to have someone to talk to about it. my email address is ds4nier@megalink.net.

jordan did not have a great day today. we went to church and he went to his sunday school class and then to junior church. his teacher in junior church brought him to my mom because he was starting to complain of leg pain again. he did ok, but was starting to limp a little and walk on his tip toes so i knew eventually it was going to get to the point where he couldn't walk again. we went and had lunch at my mom's after church and then i laid down with the girls for their nap. around 4:15 i heard him crying as my mom was trying to bring him potty. sure enough, he could no longer walk. i know people i have talked probably think i seem like it's no big deal and i'm not too worried about it, but this is a face that i put on. i don't like people to see the vulnerable side of me. i have cried with him several times because there is nothing i can do for him. i bring him to the potty and he cries, he literally cannot move without crying out in pain. there's nothing like watching your child cry out every time you touch him or try to help him. i also know that things could be alot worse, i completely understand that. so, all that being said, please just keep him in your prayers, that the pain is not too unbearable, and the rest of the family as we try to deal with this. i am very worried about jordan and school. he seems to have made great strides and now it looks as though he will miss alot of school. his preschool teacher has offered to tutor him in her free time. this means alot to us, and will help out tremendously so that maybe he won't get too far behind. anyway, please keep him in your prayers. here are some pictures i took of his knees tonight (notice how huge his knees are from the swelling):




i wanted to add a cute story that happened with jordan tonight. he was sitting down and i saw him move without crying out in pain and jokingly, i said "wow, it's a miracle, your healed". he looked at me and said God can heal people, he did it with the man in the river. it was very cute. we told him there were lots of people praying for him to be healed.

now, something completely unrelated but i definitely wanted to mention. the other night when we were in the emergency room till 4 am, all 3 girls were up at 8 am. neither jordan nor i were ready to get up at that time and doug was at work, so latoya got the girls down and got the three of them breakfast and played with them while we slept for a couple more hours! what a great help she is, i know i don't brag on her enough. she really goes above and beyond with her sisters. i also wanted to mention that latoyas fundraiser for cheering went awesome, she was the top seller. here is a picture of her in her uniform:


well, that is all for tonight. please keep everyone in your prayers, and have a great week!
