December 22, 2012

This morning we were disappointed to learn that Jordan was still heavily sedated. He couldn't be weaned from sedation because they were unable to get a neck brace as the occupational therapist does not work on weekends. We need to be patient. We visited with him throughout the day and later he went for another CT scan. The results from the scan were good so they were finally able to wean him from some of his sedation medication. When it was wearing off, he did flutter his eyelids. We coached him to wake up, but it took awhile before he responded.

Then GOOD NEWS: he started to thrash his arms and legs, wiggle his toes and squeeze our hands. His nurse did not want him to pull out his tubes so he was sedated again for the night. Hopefully tomorrow his breathing tube will come out and taken off the ventilator. God has answered our prayers beyond our belief. All the events of the last 24 hours are starting to sink in and we realize that we are very fortunate.

  4. This Sunday morning we’re pleased by reading the litle postive news. Yes he is in the hands of the great Physician! He has it’s own way to do things. That’s what game to us this morning in church.
    When we came in on the big screen was the theme of the service: (Job38:1) Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm…………
    And as a saying: Sometimes God calms the storm, sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms his child.
    Dear family, we’re with you in thoughts and prayer.
    With love, Wilma Klunder

  10. Doug. Yvonne and family,

    We are praying that God will continue to uphold you through this challenging time. Remember God's promise "For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD" (See Jeremiah 30:12-24). We pray that Jordan receives healing for soul and body. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:" (Isaiah 26:3-4)

  12. Dear Doug and Yvonne and family,
    We thank the LORD with you that God is your strength and pray He will continue to heal Jordan and fulfill all your needs, also keeping Doug healthy through this stressful time. Romans 15:13 - Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

  14. Dear Doug and Yvonne,
    Our entire SCSBC community was shocked and deeply saddened to hear about the Jordan’s accident early Friday morning. In contact with Timothy Christian School through Herb Krul (Friday) and Ken Luteyn (Saturday), and now also through reading the blog, we are able to stay informed and pray more specifically for Jordan’s recovery.

    Doug and Yvonne, we claim God’s promises and continue to pray for Jordan, and the extended Stam family as you journey through this difficult time.

    In Christian community,
    Henry
