Today is Jordan birthday he turned 29 today! Our plan was to take a sledgehammer to the old shower chair to celebrate! 😂 But that didn’t happen unfortunately. We got the new shower chair delivered but there was an issue with having the wrong seat on it so we had to return it. They will fix the issue and come back when it’s done.
We have made quite a few changes lately we got an aide for 11 hours a week mostly to clean do laundry and assist Chloe our private duty nurse during the day . We also did a meet and greet with a night nurse for Jordan that would work 40 hours a week. Hopefully that works out. She was nice and friendly and had some previous long-term home health experience. 
Chloe made a difficult day for me very special by decorating Jordan’s room, getting Jordan a special stretchy golf shirt, a squishy sunshine, and a music box that plays “you are my sunshine”. Just now her children FaceTimed Jordan to tell him happy birthday. Y’all that woman has been an angel and such a HUGE blessing. I couldn’t even speak just cried and hugged her.

5/9/2026

Unfortunately Jordan had a seizure early this morning at 3:30AM. We gave him his rescue medication immediately and it stopped about 6 minutes later. We think this seizure happened because he’s been vomiting and probably didn’t keep down most of his seizure medications at 9PM. He’s needed a lot of suctioning lately, with that comes coughing. He has issues not being able to swallow normally and ends up aspirating because of it. Hopefully he avoids getting pneumonia. He has not had a seizure since February 15th 2025! Before his seizures would come in clusters of several in a few weeks. Hoping that’s not the case this time. We’re having a quiet day resting today. He’s watching the cop show Live PD on tv.

Please take the time to tell Chloe' Cormier how much she has meant to us. How much we’ve prayed for someone like her. I got to the point I lost all hope of ever getting any help it was too much stress for one person to handle. It is nurses appreciation week!
We went to TIRR to Dr Pelini on Wednesday everything went well. Jordan needed some new orders and is dealing with some additional pain during the afternoons that we are currently investigating the cause of. He’s been pretty stable lately. 😊 It’s been busy with everyone’s birthdays. Jordan’s 29th birthday is next week! Thank you for always being our support system! 💕

Hallelujah! We have silently been SO STRESSED about this! Prayers answered BCBS is back in network for Memorial Hermann which includes TIRR and the majority of all of his doctors.

Jordan had an appointment to get his new stainless steel tracheostomy today with Dr. Alava at UT . Chloe our private duty nurse actually inserted it under his direction because she’s only practiced in school on child mannequins. She did wonderful today giving Jordan a shower this morning ,dressed and ready, and she even got Jordan in the van on her first try! Trust me it’s a lot harder than you think driving that wheelchair in a confined space with oxygen bottle on the back and turning. Chloe looks so serious in that picture but trust me she’s a joy to us daily. She’s wonderful with Jordan. She calls him her sunshine ☀️ and takes him to the spa (shower) and the nail and massage salon often . 😂

We got approved for another private duty nurse today for an additional 44 hours weekly. So if you know an LVN looking for a full time M-F 9pm-5am nightly position they need to apply with Angels of Care.

We are STILL fighting for the shower chair! Even though it’s been “approved “ several times now I’ll probably make a separate post later about that when I have the energy to explain that pile of B.S. 💩 😑

But today I’m looking to the blessings of having found Chloe. And on the search for another night nurse and an aide that is not a felon. 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s another whole post! 👀 😂 Thank god for our suspicion and Chloe’s quick googling!

It’s never a dull moment here!

We love you all and thank you for thinking of us often! Today was the first day someone didn’t have to take off work to go with me to Houston! 💕

Today Jordan had an appointment at TIRR. We took this opportunity to let Chloe (our first ever private duty nurse) get a better idea of just everything that Jordan needs and how you do it. Adam showed her this morning how he gives him a shower. It’s a major task for me with my spinal fusion. Then we went over how we dress, transfer him to his wheelchair and how to use the track systems in our vehicle, it provides a secure, versatile 4-point method for anchoring his wheelchair using floor-mounted metal tracks and tie-down straps. Not everyone knows about all these wheelchair gadgets. We got to stop at Buc-ee’s twice of course. Jordan’s appointment was with Dr. Li he was doing Botox in his right neck, pecs and outer lower right arm to prevent his spasticity in his right hand. It’s very hard to open and clean. We’re trying to prevent skin breakdown as well. He also got bilateral fasciotomies on both arms his tendons are shortening causing this “cording” under his arms preventing them from being lifted no amount of Botox will fix that. I think TIRR was an eye opening experience for Chloe, watching the procedures, seeing the gym, and how the conversations with the doctors there are different than our typical local doctors. Chloe is doing excellent and this is just her 3rd day. It’s A LOT to take in. She even was able to suction him in a moving vehicle! 😂 Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers we appreciate them all!

It has been 64 months since Jordan has been home after his AVM rupture and first hospitalization with NO help no caregiver except just me. I can not begin to explain the hardship that it has caused us … mentally and physically.
Today marks the FIRST day that Jordan had 8 hours of a private duty nurse. Chloe has been a true blessing that I hope that continues for a long time coming. We’ve been told that they are trying to up the hours from 40 hours to 120 hours per week. We obviously would have to hire more than one nurse for that. But for the meantime I’m going to praise this true blessing! Prayers are working. It should not be this difficult for the most vulnerable people to get care.

3/4/26
We’ve had a bad few weeks/days but things seem to be turning around hopefully. Jordan is needing around the clock suctioning. Probably a touch of whatever virus we had or just his colonization of klebsiella pneumoniae flaring up. Either way I’m asking for some prayers as we navigate some changes in his healthcare. Mainly getting some private duty nursing to help. This has been a LONG time coming. I almost don’t want to mention it as to Jinx it! 😂

Well I’ve been asked to update everyone on how’s everything going because of half us being sick and trying to keep Jordan well. I should probably start by saying who needs a mid life crisis? My whole life is one big crisis! lol 😂 Please know my go to for stress is getting a good laugh. So enjoy my day! I started off the morning at 5am not hearing Jordan breathe on his “baby” monitor. 👀 Because it was missing. Lol Adam slept in Jordan’s room and Nolan had the monitor in his room but Nolan started puking because he got too hot and ended up sleeping on the couch downstairs. Adam came home to watch Jordan while I went to my 6 month “well” visit sick. I just needed my diabetic supplies. But ended up having fever, blood drawn, a swab, and a shot. I tested negative again for the flu but they gave me an antibiotic shot. Madison Krautz NP (Jordan’s old classmate) was delighted with my weight loss and asked what I was doing differently . I said umm you gave me meds to tell my pancreas to start working. I’ve made no big changes to my diet. Got home Nolan decided to make cinnamon rolls. Adam left to go back to work. I ran upstairs to return to my usual attire, pajamas. Waffles our 100 pound boxer decided those cinnamon rolls looked delicious and got one but also turned on the burner on the stove starting a fire🔥 in our kitchen! Nolan ran downstairs with me to put out a literal fire. We can’t breathe anyways because we’ve been coughing up lungs (especially Nolan) . Now the house has smoke everywhere downstairs but thankfully not really made it to Jordan’s room. We had to air it out open windows and doors crank down the AC because we still have fever. I can’t make up this 💩… a bee flew in I’m panicking Jordan’s going to get stung . Been chasing that jerk all darn day! We just fed him to the toilet gods. Nolan has had nose bleeds dripping blood all the way to the bathroom. I need a maid stat! 😂 Days not over… Jordan isn’t looking too hot I think he got whatever we have/had. Suctioning him every hour it seems. Who needs sleep? NOT US! 💪 lol Jordan just urinated all over the bed so much it was all on the floor. Glad dad’s home to give him a shower because I literally just threw out my back by sneezing!🤧 Oh yeah I forgot I need to check on my middle son. Poor Corey and his car troubles lately he’s probably still stuck at work because someone took out a sign that goes over i10 both East and West bound traffic. If you’re local you know someone that’s still sitting for hours in that mess! He blew his radiator the other day and is waiting to get fans to keep it from overheating. So the worse thing to do is sit in traffic.
Oh well we will keep on smiling and laughing at life.
Jordan would be laughing at today too. Boy I miss that smile!

2/ 25/26
Tripp is my buddy today I’m sequestered  upstairs alone. I caught whatever Nolan has and this sore throat is awful! I definitely don’t want to give it to Jordan (if we didn’t already) . My mom has taken over downstairs. This is a first. She’s very hesitant to to care for Jordan . But I am here if I have to go down there. She’s always fearful of doing “something wrong”. We’ve made plenty of mistakes. It’s a physically demanding job to care for Jordan . Hopefully she listens and takes it easy . Heather our wound care nurse is even going to help dress him this morning with her. She’s been a saint. You can always tell the good ones they offer to go beyond her duties. Trace his PT has already called this morning checking on Jordan because he saw our post saying he was having a bad day. Jordan eventually calmed down and that is the ONE of the hardest things not knowing what’s wrong some days . Happy Hump day. Hopefully our week gets better. But until then we will deal with whatever will come our way. 💪
Pray for my mama that she doesn’t try to do too much. 💕

02/24/2026

We are all kinda having a rough start to our week. Everyone is still working the shutdown except Nolan (the baby of the house) was vomiting all night . He hardly ever gets sick. In an over abundance of caution we took some over the counter rapid Covid, flu A&B tests all negative. Jordan has been upset all day with a heart rate in the 140s-150s. Our private duty nursing has not started as promised and the “approved” shower chair orders now needs to be rewritten in a more specific way for the durable medical company Great American. Also all the therapies need to be recertification, so we have to explain how his insurance has a clause because of it being a traumatic brain injury that he has unlimited services . It’s just a lot of phone calls and fighting for the things Jordan needs. I’ve been focusing my prayer this week on something my church posted so I’ll just repeat it here.

A Word for the Weary – Psalm 147:3

There are moments in life when the hurt feels too deep for words—when grief lingers, hope feels fragile, and healing seems far away. Psalm 147:3 reminds us that God does not overlook our pain. He leans in close to the brokenhearted. He sees every tear, every ache, every silent prayer whispered in the dark.

Our God is not distant from our suffering. He is a healer who gently binds our wounds, piece by piece, with compassion and love. Healing doesn’t always come instantly, but it always comes intentionally. In His hands, nothing is wasted—not even our pain.

If your heart feels heavy today, rest in this promise: you are not forgotten, and you are not alone. God is near, and He is at work, restoring what has been broken and breathing hope back into weary hearts. 🤍
