Happy Easter

Next Step for Jordan

At the end of spring break I took Jordan to her plastic surgeon.  He said we can go ahead and schedule her nose surgery.  It will be a three step process.  We are hoping to start the first step at the end of May.  The first surgery will require her to stay over night.  She will have to come back three to four weeks later for the next part and possibly stay that night.  Three to four weeks after that, they hope to touch up and release her the same day. She will be put under each time.

I have been on edge since that visit.  I have many concerns, but my biggest is the scar they will leave on her forehead to fix her nose.  It will go from her hairline to her eyebrow.  Her face looks so good now and she has come so far.  I hate that she will have another battle scar the rest of her life.  I struggled with this all week, prayed a lot, and know that this is going to all be okay.  She is in God's hands and it is better to do it now than to wait.  My prayer right now is to guide the doctors to make the best decisions for my child.  She is so strong, and I am so proud of her.  Please keep her in your prayers.

Spring Break

We took the kids to San Antonio over spring break and had a fantastic time.  The zoo was very crowded and a little disappointing, but it was a beautiful day and the kids were happy.  The next day we went to Sea World.  We all had a better experience there.  The kids were not too impressed with the Alamo yet but loved going on a carriage ride.  Jordan kept saying she felt like a princess.  I held back tears the whole trip and thanked God for giving me a chance to take my family on vacation.  They are three and a half now and I still can't believe they are mine.  What a blessing they are.

My Princess

Jordan was asked to be in a wedding.  She talked about it for months.  She was a princess.  I didn't think she would walk but she did great.  Winston loved dancing that night and neither one of them wanted to go home. Jordan wanted to sleep in her dress.
