Last week ended with Jordan continuing to push through Physical and Occupational Therapy. However one of Jordan's lifelong friends Tony Flores suffered some tragedy early Thursday morning with a house fire that took the life of his two young children Cruz and Ella, Jordan received the news later that morning and wanted to take some time to reflect on the events that had taken place. He was able to talk to Tony which helped and Jordan knows that he needs to remain focused and continue to work hard so he can come home and be the best he can be for his friends. So we would like to extend our deepest condolences to Tony and Stephanie and their families, we are here for you all at this time! If you want to help this family you can do so at : Cruz and Ella Fund
Going into this week Jordan's headaches continue to linger on and off but are getting better. He has been working on his flexibility and strengthening, and getting more and more time in the wheelchair around the hospital grounds. He has now been fitted for a custom wheelchair which should take 3-4 weeks to build, until then he uses a chair at the hospital. His nourishment & eating is not where he would like, but he has completed a swallowing test and did well, so he should be able to eat regular food by the end of the week. The hole from the trach is still healing,but it should be closed by the end of next week; Jordan refers to it as BIG! His attitude is great and he continues to want to do more, but is restricted by his strength and headaches.
Spoke with him on the phone earlier and he is now working on his wheel chair task list, which includes wheelies and 360'. His therapist has commented on what a Rockstar Jordan is with how much he is already able to do, with the time he has been in this particular chair that does not quite fit him perfectly. Right now is able to go half way around the gym on a wheelie and was able to hold a wheelie for 60 seconds twice. He wasn't able to get the 360 in today but he did try, the balance with the chair he is in was his struggle, but I am sure Jordan will have them down in no time!
He sounds determined and excited to be at Craig, he has already been thinking of a chair for off road and doing the research for it. He was able to check out the weld shop they have at Craig and he showed the instructor some of his own work and left the instructor speechless.
So overall Jordan has been doing great and his attitude is in the right place!
As far as the efforts go for Jordan's home, Pooker Stade and Paul Harbauer have been leading the effort at the house. In the short time they have been able to get the additon to Jordans room framed and the trusses up. They have coordinated getting most of the material and labor donated however more is still needed to assist in the project. At this moment exterior painting is needed, so if you can assist with that please contact Brittany and she will get you in touch with Paul to coordinate. Brittany (702) 325-9623
