Well Jord and Kenzie are back in the full swing of school. They seem to be doing well. Kenzie judges how school will go by how many friends she has in each of her classes.

Jord is becoming more active. He floats the canal with his buddies, starting to go to church dances, and hanging out with his friends more often. It is good to see him having fun. We recently had the neurologist run the yearly test on his brain. They said that he still has memory problems and the ability to concentrate is low but better than one year ago. So he still has to be on meds. The doctor told us this is probably as good as he will get. The first four months is the healing period. Then after that it may improve slightly but not much.

Kenzie is going to start gymnastics again in September. We hope that her ankle will be strong enough to with stand all the jarring of gym. She is going through major pain now because of her braces. She is having a hard time eating. So lots of ice cream and yogurt.

Ryker starts preschool again this fall. He is growing so fast. He has suck a big attitude. I guess that's from all the older brothers and sister. I think I have another Jordan on my hands though. Ryker insisted on clothes shopping when Jord and Kenzie were shopping for school. Not just shopping, he had to go into try the clothes on by himself. I just had to laugh.

Pam is doing well. The doctors have told the family she needs to be back into the hospital. They need to start feeding her real food and she is not eating much. They will put a tub through her nose down to her stomach to get real food into her. They also need to take the iv out of her neck and put it somewhere else. There is still no sign of the leukemia. the white blood cells, red cells, and platelets are also all normal. We went to see her yesterday and she is alert and can nod yes or no to your questions. She is breathing on her own with a slight rasping sound. They just say its not in her lungs but could be a throat problem with the breathing tub that was in her. We keep praying for her continued recovery.

Well we hope things are well for you all.

Wow! School has already started. I had to laugh about how Kenzie judges school-it must be a girl thing. Glad to hear there is improvement with Jord. It sounds like everyone is doing well-even Ryker. How fun. Keep posting I love to read about it.
