Compared to my Brother Lee’s death in 92, today was the
second worst emotional day of my life.
While overall Jordan did well on her first day of evaluations with
physical, occupational, and speech therapy, she had many emotional
moments. It was so hard to hold my baby
girl’s hand while she cried over things she wasn’t able to do today but could a
week agoL I feel so helpless, because I can’t fix
things for her!!! As a Mom that is all I
want to do and so during this process I MIGHT finally learn some
patience!! I explained to her that she is
not even a week out of MAJOR surgery, but as all of you out there with
teenagers know, they want things to happen yesterday! I did learn today that
she will be evaluated for the first 72hrs, and then her case will be discussed
in conference on Monday, with all disciplines involved in her care. After that
we will know the exact amount of time she will be hanging out @ CH.
Jordan misses not being able to do the things that she
should be doing during her summer break: Hang out with family/friends, hang out
@ the lake, work her job @ Stein Mart, read books, & help with Special
Olympics summer games!!! I explained that there were a lot more healthier
summers in her future!! So when you see her she will have that beautiful smile
she is known for, with a positive attitude, and a No, I am OK!!
We thank everyone for the continued prayers/thoughts. PRAY FOR JORDAN
Me and mom will missed you at summer games. We will thinking of you and praying

I just found your blog. While I was not a "stemmie", I had a deep angioma and a stroke because of the surgery. It was a LONG road to recovery, but I am much, much better. Stay positive,....Jordan will get better. It's hard work, but you all can do it. Cheering you all on and praying for you.
ReplyDeleteIf she is anything like her strong momma, she will do well with all her rehab. Keep your chin up Katie girl. Soon this will all be in the past.
