Mom has to brag!

Just a little bragging from a very proud mom!  Jordan made the 7th grade golf team at school yesterday!  This is so great on so many levels for him!  Gosh, he really needed a pick-me-up.  He pushed through the nausea, dizziness, pain, blurred vision (used his good eye), balance issues, zaps, stiffness and fatigue!  He got in the car and said "well, if I do have MS there is only one good thing about it I can think of".  Everyone was freezing and had jackets on and I was perfectly comfortable in shorts and t-shirt!" LOL!  I am so happy for him.  

We were worried since he couldn't do baseball or basketball anymore.  He was so down watching all his friends practicing.  Even wants to go and watch them play a few times!  This is such a blessing on so many levels and I just had to share.  The dr. keeps telling him he is going to have to push himself and enjoy all he can for as long as he can.  He has made a few new friends too!  There were many kids that make fun of him for the way he walks, talks, etc...(mostly boys he has played against in sports for several years) that did not make the team.  I feel bad for them but I think it lets them know that just because Jordan has changed he can still rise above it all!  We have a long road but he can play this year!  Wishing all a great day!

Thank you to everyone for the reply to my mom's post.  I am very happy I made the team!  Still a lot of work to go but I hope my hands and legs work with me.  I really like the saying, "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get".  I am going to try my best!  Thanks for the things you said! Jordan

Congrats to Jordan!  This will be a great distraction for him - and maybe for you, too.  He definitely needs to do what he can, while he still can.  None of us know where things are going to take us in the future.  

Kudos to both of you.  :-)

Go Jordan!  That is great news about the golf team.

I am so glad you are encouraging him to get one with being a kid rather than trying to shelter him.  Go mom!!!

How exciting! You must be so proud, that he made it onto the team and that he overcame so much to make it happen. Congrats to Jordan! And good job, Mom, for helping him learn to deal with his struggles with courage and confidence! Inspiring story - thanks for sharing.

That sure is great news! Good for him, it should help keeping up his spirit and trying to forget his every day battle for awhile sometimes.

My best,
