Urgent Prayer Request for Jordan

Please lift up Jordan in your prayers today. On Saturday we had to take her to the ER because she has been having headaches for about a week now and almost passed out on Saturday. In addition we noticed that her shunt (a tube that drains the fluid from the brain) was swollen at her neck. The strange thing is that this shunt has not worked for about 2 or 3 years (sometimes the brain can find a way to drain cerebral spinal fluid on it's own). So we don't know what is causing the headaches or the shunt to be inflamed or if they are related. She had a CAT scan Satuday night and it showed normal fluid levels in her brain (which is a tremendous blessing) so now we have to go to a neurologist today and she has to have an EEG and perhaps an ultra sound of her neck. All of her blood tests also came back negative for infections on Saturday, so we still haven't gotten a explaination on why there is swelling in her neck.

Please keep Jordan in your prayers for God's healing touch. Needless to say this is scary for Jordan and us since we don't have an explaination of the swelling and the long term effects.

Thank you as always for you fervant and consistant prayers for our family.
