2-24-10 – Jordan Update, Prayer Request

From Amy:

Can you pass along for everyone to keep praying for Jordan’s body to recoup as his counts are still too low to start this next round of chemo (his “immune system” ANC level is still at 280…needs to be above 750). His MD says this is normal as he just finished a really intensive round…and he is high risk ALL so they blast him harder. He is doing well other than that. =) Thanks for your prayers.

On another note…please pray for Cedar to get off her GI meds…she is almost 3 and it has been way too long. But every time we reduce them she really has a lot of trouble processing her food (ie she does not eat because her stomach hurts and is up at night crying as her stomach hurts). Pray her motility would learn what to do on it’s own (ie her intestines would know how to push food through so that her stomach does not hurt…get constipated, have acid reflux, etc). One of the preemie issues still remaining…but her labs are showing that the reglan is increasing her progesterone level so we are taking her off the med quickly. Pray she would not loose weight after coming off the meds and keep a positive relationship with food. In the past, she regresses when her stomach hurts and just wants to drink milk.

Thank you all for all your prayers!
