Jacob & Jordan Update 5-17-10

Friends, Family, Prayer Warriors:

Soon we will be sending out homecoming announcements on Jacob and Jordan (since we didn't get to do birth announcements). To ensure that we reach everyone that has been with us along this journey, in case we don't have your address or we run out of cards (supplies are limited), I have included it below, as our way of saying the kids are home and Thank You for all you have done for us:





















Since the announcement picture is a screen capture, you may not be able to read our message included on the card. I have therefore added it below:

"The Cordova Family are all home as of May 5, 2010! Through God and everyone's thoughts, prayer networks, warm wishes and kind gestures, Jacob and Jordan can now enjoy being term babies and beyond. Challenges still exist, but with everyone's support, the coming years will be plentiful of enrichment and heavenly grace for all.

We look forward to many years of our families growing in Christ. God Bless You! Love, Andy & Sheri."

We can't thank everyone enough for everything our family has received!

This last weekend was pretty eventful and included many "firsts" for the kids. Rae took some time to herself Friday through Sunday afternoon, so Friday and Saturday morning it was just Sheri and I and the kids. Friday night we had a real downpour that carried over to Saturday early afternoon, but suprisingly enough the kids were unaffected. Saturday morning we had a two-hour nap with the kids in our bed; I held Jordan and Sheri had Jacob. At one point before Sheri and Jacob laid down, Sheri had come into the bedrom and looked in on us and caught Jordan smiling in her sleep while she was in my arms. Saturday afternoon/evening Sheri and I took some time to ourselves to attend a graduation/birthday party in Simonton, Texas (complete with crawfish [needless to say, I ate it up]). While we were away, Mom and Dad got to spend some time with the kids babysitting. And Sunday, Jacob got to spend some time in the afternoon watching one of his dad's favorite pastimes: playing on the computer. Yes sports fans, I am starting him out early on becoming a gamer like his ol' man. At one point, Sheri snuck in behind us and was watching Jacob's expression as we were playing. When I clued into her sitting on her office chair behind me, she shook her head saying "Oh no, not another gamer...", a silly grin spreading across her face. What can I say...Jordan! Come sit with daddy! I'll have them playing Star Wars flight simulators, Doom and Quake arena matches, and Perfect World RPG's before you know it!

Jordan's throw up sessions have gotten a little better since we lengthened the duration of her feeds and switched her acid reflux medication to an hour before each feed. She still has some moments where she will spew like a can of beer, but it is nowhere near what it was before. At least that is saying something. We'll bring it up again to the pediatrician on her next visit.


Please pray for continued success for all!

Thank you for all of your love, prayers and thoughts! More progress reports as soon as I can spare another minute! May the good Lord bless and protect us all.





Kind regards,

The Cordova Family (Andy, Sheri, Jacob & Jordan)
