Jordan Update

It's 4:45 a.m. I'm in the Family Resource Room at Children's Hospital in Seattle, where I've been since 9:00 last night. My sister hadn't gotten much sleep the past couple of nights so I came down to stay up with Jordan while she sleeps. He's in Intensive Care, and there's a nurse by his bedside all the time, so I told her I was going for a walk... I was getting a little bit sleepy. So here's what's new: Jordan had an X-Ray done of his abdomen, and now he has a twist in his intestine, which could/probably is a source of much of his pain. Not the reason for the infection in his blood, just an added complication. He's also starting to get fluid in his lungs, as a result of his body not flushing fluids through, and the fact that he's been inactive and lying in bed for over 48 hours. His blood pressure is more stable than it was yesterday, but his heart rate is still too high and he's still running a fever. Keep praying for him, he's still got a long way to go before he is better. We're taking things 5 minutes at a time, praising God for the smallest of improvements and praying for more. Please ask everyone you know to cover Jordan in prayer, we've got people all over the United States praying for him... would be awesome to spread it across Canada as well. Thanks so much you guys... more updates to come... God Bless!

Pray, Pray, Pray

More news about Jordan...
He is in the Intensive Care Unit at Children's Hospital in Seattle, fighting for his life as we speak. His fever is at 39.4, heart rate is dangerously high, blood pressure dangerously low. He also has Sepsis, which is a "severe illness caused by an overwhelming infection of the blood stream by toxin-producing bacteria". His whole body is turning against itself, and my precious little nephew is only three and a half years old. The doctors are currently discussing the pros and cons of putting him on a respirator to help him breathe. I'm scared, because the reality that we may not get to have him here much longer is so real. Thanksgiving is on Thursday, and I'm having a hard time being thankful. The only thing at this point that will heal his body is a miracle. We know the God who is in the business of miracles... please ask everyone you know to flood heaven with prayers for Jordan. Thank you so much, I'll keep this site posted with updates as I get them.
