Thank you to all of the wonderful friends and family members who continue to pray for our family and Jordan daily. We are still reading all the comments, cards, and prayers to Jordan. I am sure it gives him comfort to know so many people reach out to him with their love. Even people that we have never met personally write the most beautiful words of encouragement to us. Often if one of us is discouraged we will go to Jordan's petition and read the comments. I can not read them without shedding a few tears. I have seen firshand the incredible power of prayer. Foolishly I once told someone that all I could do to help them was...to pray. Silly girl!!! What a huge blessing it is to have others pray for you. We can quite literally see the results of prayer in Jordan's healing almost daily. When there are lots of prayer warriors doing battle for Jordan, the increase in Jordan's healing becomes hugely apparent. I used to scoff when someone would tell me that, but now I have seen it for myself. As a family, we are continually blessed by your prayers. Please don't ever stop praying for Jordan and us. God hears your prayers and answers them. We also pray that you all are greatly blessed for your part in Jordan's miraculous story.
Love and Blessings,
Pam, Bobby, Erin, Jeannie, Ashton, Kayleigh, Brandon, and Jordan

More Steps toward Recovery
Lots of things have been happening in our lives lately. Jordan got his first report card from pre-school. He qualifies for summer school and in his case that is good. That means that he has made enough progress in the short time that he attended school, that his teachers feel that summer school would be beneficial to Jordan's recovery, not only physically but also educationally. He will be using an adapted computer to help him better communicate until he can talk more understandably. That is such a wonderful thing.
Also Jordan got a walker!!! And he can make it move as much as six inches with a single push. He only has the strength to do a few pushes at one time, but he will build up his strength. He is also able to hold his head up most of the time that he is in the walker. He also has begun to make larger movements with his head, arms and legs. I was holding him in my lap a few days a go. I looked down and noticed that Jordan was swinging his legs. He loved to do that before the accident. I was thrilled. His recovery is not always consistent. He has days that he does not seem to be able to do much at all. Then sometimes the very next day, he does a whole bunch of new things all at once. However unpredictable, I am thankful that he is continuing to make progress. It is easy to forget just how far we have already come. I praise God for the gift of every day that we have together as a family. None of us are promised tomorrow.
