A VERY Scary Halloween.....

This has been our scariest Halloween yet! Jordan's foot just kept getting worse and worse so on Friday our doctor said he needed to be admitted to the hospital. This was not the news we were hoping for when we went to his appointment, but it had to be done if we wanted to get him healthy again and prevent him from losing his toe or possibly his whole foot!

While in the hospital Jordan underwent a surgery where they removed the infection and cleaned everything out. The surgery went very well and he was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Thank goodness! Five whole days of him being in there is just unbelievable to me. It feels like he has been gone forever & it's SO nice to finally have him home!

We're not quite in the clear yet of having all of this resolved. Before Jordan was able to come home they had to insert a TAC line into his chest so that he can hook himself up to an I.V. from home two times per day. They have him set up on a schedule of 7:00 am & 7:00 pm. The medicine takes approximately 1-2 hours to run into his system. Nurses will need to come to our house 2 times per week to change the dressing as well as draw blood and check to make sure he is doing okay. We will have to take these measures for the next 6 weeks! Crazy huh? It's crazy for us because we have been so blessed with our health. Both of us have never had any major injuries so to see Jord with tubes coming out of his chest and hooking up to an I.V. in our home is so weird. He is doing great though! What a trooper!

Thank you EVERYONE for all of your thoughts and prayers! All of you have been so thoughtful and caring for our little family during this tough time and we appreciate it more than you will ever know! We are so thankful for each and everyone of you!

Taylor with her Daddy - she missed him so much! We went to the hospital every night so that he could kiss his girls goodnight!

This is the medicine that they will deliver to our house once per week!

Jordan hooking up to his at home I.V. for the first time. We actually couldn't stop laughing because we couldn't believe everything that was going on. He had to sit at our kitchen table just like that for 2 hours! Poor guy!

Flowers and Chocolates from people that love Jordan! Thank you Rick & Summer and to the Manutai's - You guys are awesome!

Me & the girls got these for our special guy! These strawberries were SO good! I think Taylor & I helped Jordan a little too much with eating them!

So here are a few things that I have learned this past week:

1.) I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY FAMILY!

2.) A hot shower can cure just about anything!

3.) Nap time is the greatest especially when you actually get to sleep!

4.) It's okay to ask for help

5.) We are stronger than we think!

6.) Life is not always going to be a walk in the park, but every step we take is well worth it!
