So THAT'S What This is For...

Today we had Jordan's 15-month doctor appointment. I asked Jason to take this afternoon as his comp time for working Saturday morning and just be there so we could make whatever decisions we needed to make.

For those of you that know our Jordan, he has had some "lung" problems. I'm not sure exactly what to term them without saying what the doctor said, which is reactive airway disease, but he just coughs ALL THE TIME. Even when he's healthy and doesn't have a cold, he has this yucky cough. Dr. Gloyeske, Jason, and I finally came to a decision to get him on some kind of medication. We are trying him on Singulair, and we are just hoping and praying that it will make a huge difference in his overall "lung" health! All in all, we are just happy that there is something to try - everything that the doctor was telling us this afternoon just made sense and just sounded as though he was taking a dictionary and reading the precise definition of Jordan's life, so hopefully this will be our answer, what will make him sound better and will make us feel better! :)

Since Jason was already off and we were all home, tonight was really just a nice night ... no dance class, no running to get Meggan's bangs cut, no choir practice. We just were at home! We had a great (and healthy) supper and then just got to PLAY!

Here are Jason and Jordan with their latest experiment, shall we call it.

Before (top) and after (bottom). Meggan came running out of her room when she heard the loud thud, which was Jordan's head hitting backwards. I believe my words to Jordan were, "Just exactly what we DIDN'T want you to learn to do."

Jordan's thoughts: "Oh, so THAT'S what this is for."

Hope everyone has a great Friday tomorrow!!!
