Jordan

For those of you who are familiar with my son/grandson Jordan, I would appreciate your prayers. We are in the hospital again... pneumonia. I thank God that it has been several months since he has been in this kind of respiratory stress, and I am grateful we made it through Christmas, even though he began to be ill on Christmas Eve.

Father, please touch Jordan.
You are able to heal him.
Touch Brother Clint and the rest of the Family.
In Jesus Name.

Diagnosis change... staff infection in his lungs. Ten years of severe suffering... One day there will be perfect health, thank God.

I will be praying for Jordon.
may God keep you all in His care and give you His comfort and peace.

God Bless you and your family brother

Will be praying for Jordan.

For everything God allows there is a specific purpose.
The origin of the suffering was evil, but as Joseph said "ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good". How interesting it will be to come to understand God's design in all the suffering that Jordan has endured.

i will pray for Jordan.May God be glorified through this.

Praying for Jordan.

How is he broclint?

Thank you for your prayers.

Jordan still has MRSA (staff infection) but for now the fever has broken, he has been taken off oxygen, and we have been sent home with some strong antibiotics and the instructions that if the fever returns or he has to be put back on oxygen, we will transfer to another hospital, one that has a pediatric pulminologist and a better staff of respiratory therapists, about 100 miles from home, so we pray that he continues to improve and we can just continue here as an outpatient.

Clint

Thank you to those who prayed for Jordan a few weeks ago. Unfortunately we are back in the hospital again. Your continued prayers are appreciated.

Clint

My heart and prayers will be for you, your family and Jordon. We serve an awesome God. God of peace and healing and revelations, comfort and joy. He loves Jordon and your family so very much and we pray His Presence is there with Jordon loving and ministering and healing him. We love and appreciate all that You do dearest Lord.

Thanks again for your prayers. Jordan is still not doing well at all. He has been having multiple seizures, is on several IV antibiotics including Vancomycin and is receiving 2 liters of O2 in order to maintain favorable O2 levels (95-98%). At this point, the doctor has talked to me about what resuscitation procedures are permitted. I know that he is in God's hands no matter what, but I need God's wisdom and strength for the sake of all the family.

Clint

Will be praying.

Father, Give Brother Clint Godly Wisdom and Strength.
Jesus call all this Families names to God our Father.
In Jesus Name.

Thank God for His goodness! Whereas the reports of a few days ago were all doom and gloom, the neurologist said that there was a marked improvement in the EEG from the one taken just a couple of weeks ago. He has changed Jordan's seizure medicines and he seems far more alert than in recent weeks. The MRSA of a few weeks ago is cleared up. His O2 stats are good without oxygen and by God's grace we are scheduled for discharge to home in the morning.

Thank you for your prayers. I have not posted on the other prayer request threads, but have prayed for those requests nevertheless.

Clint

Father our hearts are overwhelmed with Your goodness and mercy. We praise You and exalt Your name. May we be faithful to proclaim what You have done that others may know our God. All glory to You!
REJOICE! =)

Unfortunately I am back in the hospital with Jordan again, this time for surgery on his spine. We came in on Tuesday and the surgery was today,Friday, aproximately 6 hours... His blood pressure has dropped fairly low due to loss of blood, and has to have blood transfused. I appreciate your prayers.

This time we are in New Orleans... not really a place I want to be, but neccessary for the surgery... May God use me as His witness.

Clint

Praying. Oh how does his little body stand all of this!

Father, You are able to touch Jordon again.
Give this Family Your Strength.
In Jesus Name.

I am praying for you all. Trust in the Lord and know that Jesus is with Jordon and loves him dearly.

Please keep us posted.

God Bless

Thank you for your prayers.

Jordan is still in PICU and had a rough night last night with his blood pressure getting very low due to loss of blood. He had to have some transfused. Today he is doing much better.

I have to relate this incident because it is an example of God’s mercy and grace and goodness, and the watch-care over this precious little soul. When we arrived in the PICU yesterday, the nurse that was assigned to him asked me a couple of questions and said, “I know this child, I took care of him when he was a little baby”. You have to realize that was ten years ago. Then she told me that she had some pictures of him and “in fact I know right where they are and I will bring them and show them to you in the morning”. True to her word, this morning she brought a little picture album that contained photos of several of her patients from a time 10 years earlier when she had lived where we are from and had taken care of Jordan at our local hospital. And Jordan’s pictures took up the first five pages of her album. She told me I could have the pictures on the condition that she keep at least one of them.

So here we are at the opposite end of the state, in New Orleans, and the very nurse that we meet to take care of him knows him by name and knows his whole traumatic history. That is a confirmation of God’s providential care. For those who do not know, Jordan was a “shaken baby”, injured by his father, when Jordan was only a few weeks old, and we were in the PICU there for 53 days. He was not expected to live, was expected to be blind or deaf or paralyzed or worse, but here we are 10 years later, and he can see and hear and recognize family and friends and give me a rewarding smile in the mornings.

Seeing those pictures of when he had sufficiently healed to display a perfectly handsome little innocent face is a reminder to me of a time when he will have no more pain, and there will be no more sorrow: when corruptible will put on incorruption and mortal shall put on immortality, and death and sighing shall forever cease.

God is good!

Clint

Thank you Brenda for your prayers and words of encouragement.

Clint

Thank God we are out of PICU and on the spinal surgery floor in a regular room. Jordan is still not ready to go home, but hopefully we will be back in time for church Sunday.

As always, God is so good!

Clint

Continuing in prayer, brother.

God is faithful!

We were released from the hospital this morning just before noon, and about 6 hours later arrived HOME, with no comnplications on the way. Even though Jordan had whinced with pain several times in the hospital at least a few minutes almost every hour, even on pain medication and medicine to keep his muscles from spasms... the whole ride home with the exception of just a very few minutes, he was very content, smiling through his pain, and very obviously happy to be coming home.

And so we are here preparing for service tomorrow, thank God!

Clint

Greetings Clint

So glad to hear that Jordon is able to be home again. What a praise!! I will continue to keep you and Jordon in my prayers.

God Bless
