Jordan's Journey: Week 7

First and foremost let me report that my big boy is 2 lb 11.5 oz!!! We are so proud of his progress. He's truly living up to the nickname the nurses gave him, Super Jordan! 

The echocardiogram on Monday showed that Jordan's PDA is still open....but that's ok! Just because God didn't doesn't mean that he can't...he just chose a different route for us. He is still faithful and in control. As of now, Jordan will have surgery Monday afternoon. We've been told that there's a strong possibility that his procedure may be pushed back if there's another baby that needs emergency surgery. So, as of right now we are preparing for Monday. 

The surgery is called a PDA ligation. Although the thought of surgery on my little baby is terrifying, Joey and I find peace and comfort in knowing this is the most common procedure in preemies. In fact, we know about 3 families that went through the same procedure & did just fine. 

So please continue to pray for  

1) our strength 

2) Jordan's health 

3) the team of surgeons who will be operating 

With love, 

Joey, NaToya and Jordan
