Still doing well after almost six years from his ND Accident!

Five and one half years from his near-drowning accident, Jordan still continues to surprise us with what he is capable of doing. He is still doing well both physically and mentally. Jordan continues to get great reports from all his doctors and therapists. Recently we saw the pulmonologists and he said Jordan's lung function was excellent. Still no return of the Pseudomonas! No pneumonia for the last 2 years! Praise GOD! They said he was colonized and that we would never be able to beat it. I believe it was the treatments that Dr. Tennant told us about, as well as the diligence of Jordan's caregivers in following through. Jordan has been blessed with a team of excellent doctors, nurses and therapists. It takes a dedicated team to achieve results in any endeavor. Jordan's care still remains exhaustive, which is one of the reasons that we don't blog often, but we did want to share this brief update in hopes that it might encourage others. We have added some videos and some still shots to his website so you can see for yourself how well he is doing. I

Jordan is attending Tennessee Virtual Academy and receiving excellent grades. The brief video segments help to demonstrate how we communicate with Jordan and how we assess what he understands. We taped a lot more but this is an example of "yes" and "no". Just a reminder that tongue flicks signal "yes" and a back forth eye movement signals "no". We use this method in every subject to communicate his choices for schoolwork. We also use it to communicate how he feels and choices that he makes in everyday life. He is not always correct in all his answers, but he does respond appropriately about 99% of the time. Hopefully this is enough footage for you to get an idea of what we are doing. I hope that you can see some progress in this short video and that it provides some encouragement to you. We all feel that none of this would be possible without the prayers of Jordan's friends and family. We thank God everyday for the people who allow God to use them as His instruments of healing. Thank you!

Blessings,
