Jordan

Jordan was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma a little over three weeks ago.  She had her first round of chemo last night.  This has been the most heartbreaking month of my life.  We all love Jordan so much and it really hurts to see her hurting.  She's so young.  Her prognosis is good, but the treatment is painful and will take months to complete.  She will lose the tibia in her right leg.  They should be able to replace it with an internal prostetic.  She will have four rounds of chemo...surgery on the leg...another couple of rounds of chemo and then....we check to see if it's been sucessful.  This morning, June 30, 2010, she is doing well.  The chemo has been tough, but she is not as sick as we expected....at least not yet.  We'll just have to keep praying that the treatment is less painful than predicted.  Samantha heard the medicine would probably make her sick and said, "Well, Momma.  She's just going to have to take it to get better.  Even if it hurts.  We need her to get better."  What a sweet little girl.  The kitty that Sabrina is holding is Jordan's new kitten.
