One of my best friends just let me know that their 11 yr old son Jordan is back in the hospital and things aren't looking good again. Jordan has been fighting this for a long time and the Doctors are somewhat surprised he has lived this long. I don't recall the original diagnosis from years ago but he has a tumor on his optical nerve and another on his brain stem - both inoperable.
This is most of the e-mail I got this morning from Brad and Nicole:
Jordan is now at Children's Mercy Hospital. He is still having the low heart rate and erratic breathing and is having trouble keeping anything down now. His eye is very swollen and pressing in his brain. We ask for your continued prayers. Many of you have asked about sharing this info with others so they can pray...pass on, pass on...the more prayers the better!!!! Brad stayed with him last night and needed to be up every 15 minutes to put medication in Jordan's eye. His eye is not closing and we have to keep it wet. His surgeon would like to try something new and put him on a good dose of steroids. We pray this will relieve enough swelling that he could eat and close his eye. Children's Mercy is doing a good job of managing his pain, PRAISE GOD!!
On top of this Nicole's health (she is 35 yrs old) has been deteriorating over the last few years. The Doctors never seem to find reasons for this and suspect it's tied to stress etc over Jordan.
