Sister Cleavland, My name is Ellen Montague. My husband, Marvin, is Stan's only sibling. We could go for years without hearing anything from Stan but for the last several years he has live in Grantsville near where we live in Stockton, Ut. We have occasionally invited him to Church with us and one time he did come but seemed not to care about it. We are so greatful for what you did for him. We attended his baptism and it was wonderful. Thanks again for your caring and faith.

Hi this is the dad! I just want to say Shell you aren't so much a child collector but more a child protector, instructor, mentor as well as many other fine things to our children as well as to your other adopted kids and grandkids! I love you all and I will miss that lil Bruiser guy! He was the best dog and I hope he is happy and can be okay until we all see him again! Love, Rich

Shelley and family,
Well I guess its about time that I actually write something, instead of just reading. I guess the death of Aunt JoAnn really hit me and made me think that life is to short not to keep in contact with family, no matter how close or far away we are. Believe it or not I found this website by accident and have now been reading faithfully for about 5 months. (it's fun because I can tell my dad things that he has no idea about yet). I am so proud of Jourdyn for taking the step to serve the Lord. She is a shining example of all the things I would like to be. I pray for her and your family. I know our Heavenly Father loves her and is so very proud of her too. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out for her and your family. Take care.

I heard the news about Jourdyn putting in her mission papers and Ryan and I are just thrilled! Jourdyn, you have accomplished so much and you don't let anything stand in your way or hold you back. You are amazing! We are hoping to come out for a visit this spring and celebrate all of your milestones with you. Love you!

Hi family! This is dad, you know Rickster. Well anyway, I love you all very much and I feel the good in our family members is reflected back and forth to each other and I have much, I repeat much to be proud of and happy for! Dayto, you are a man, a handsome young man and I so much admire you for your strength and independence, that will take you far in learning for yourself, you are also very good to your mom, me and your siblings, thanks for all the little and big things you do for us! Jourd, well keep on this path and I am so glad you are here with us and doing so much good with your life. Madi, can I tell you again how beautiful you are, from your eyes to your spirit, I can't help but smile inside when I think you're our daughter. Tan the Man, what a great guy you are and I want you to know I know how tough it is to be a teenager, especially in this day and age, thanks for being bright, thanks for staying tough and for your sweet and loving side too! Shell, what can I say, you are so funny, so courageous, so strong and you help all of us discover and be our best. I will do anything for you because I know you do that for me! Just wanted to let somethings in my heart come out a little in words, which are still not adequate to really describe the love and connection I have to you all, I thank God for you in my life!

Shelley,
Even though we don't sign the guestbook frequently, we read your updates all the time. Having your mother diagnosed is another challenge you will face with the tenacity that has awed and inspired so many of us. I am humbled by your determination, faith and strength. Many your mother's treatment be easy on her body and spirits. And may Jourdyn keep up the window shopping!!(We moved to Mexico 6 months ago from Miami)

Shelley,
You probably dont know me but I have been following Jourdyn's page for a few years now. My Son Cooper goes to Enoch Elem and knows you and I have seen you in the Salon that I work in before. I am continually amazed at the strength that your family has with overcoming the trials of Cancer. I cant believe that yet another one of your family members has been diagnosed with this nasty disease. I am sure you were just as shocked when you heard the news and wondered when this would stop affecting you and your family. I hope you know that you have a lot of people thinking about you and praying for your family. From what I have seen, you continue to fight and keep your head up with every discouraging word. I am impressed and hope that I could react the same way.
I hope all goes well for your Mom and the rest of your family.
Love, Amy

I'd love to see you guys before I leave and before Miss Jourdyn gets married. I was at Three Peaks Elementary yesterday, but wasn't able to track Jourdyn down.

Hey Jourdyn and family,
Sorry to read you're not feeling well. I hope things start looking up for you. When Megan had her port one time her's did the same thing and she passed out 3 or 4 time in the clinic while they was trying to access it and trying to get it to flush. They put her in the hospital and did some x-rays and tests to see if it was her port and it wasn't it had a blockes. I hope the scans come back good. We thank about you and check on you all the time. Just know you're in our prayers.

So sorry to hear that you're having a rough time, Jourdy, and that you had to make a return visit to PCH. Our prayers are coming your way that this visit will be short and that you will be home soon.

Hello Jourdyn and Family
I am sorry that I dont keep in touch as much as I should. It breaks my heart to hear that you have to fight so hard and hurt so much. For that reason I sometimes just cant bear to read your page. I am an awful person! Today 2/17 we hit our 2 year mark of Anna's death, and I still hate the disease more than anything in the world! I ache so much and I long to hold my baby. I know the time will come, but I cant stand the wait. Amber and Ben keep me quite busy though....THANK GOODNESS! Our family continues to pray for you and your family. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help out. Love, Natalie and of course the rest of the Thorne clan.

I read your jornal every week keeping up on Jordyn. You all are in my prayers as always. Katie is doing good still in remission. We had went and visit with Debbie and Austin few months ago at St Judes. It is just amazing how strong and braves the children are. But to read about your family, you can just feel all the love into every paragraph you write. We are still trying to clean up after hurrican Katrina. So many people have lost everything down here. We feel so bless We only lived 7 blocks off the beach, and just had to get a new roof. Well I will let you go, God Bless you all.

Hey everybody, Thanks for keeping contact with us! This is Ricky the Dad and I am also amazed at this young lady we know as Jourdyn! She has a great mom and some super siblings! I am so grateful for the blessings of life and I want Jourdyn to know she is a wonderful young lady whom I am very proud of, I'm very proud of all my kids and my sweet wifey-pooh! This whole experience still seems so surreal, especially when I look back at photos and read the journal entries, I say to myself, 'Did this really happen?" and then I talk to Jourdyn or Shelley reminds me it's a chemo-day or I see the scars on my daughter's body for her myriad of surgeries and it is truly real! I am somewhat of a bystander and it is something that I feel disconnected to but yet I want my Heavenly Father to know I am very thankful for my life and those that help make it so good, even during the very, very bad times! Love you, Bah Gourd! Your Dad

Hey Girl Frien, I have a Christmas song request. How about a great one from yester-year, The Holy and The Ivy! Where you have come from your days at Edgemont Elementary Christmas programs and your lil' girl solos! You are the BEST! All my love, your not so secret admirer, Squints (aka Daddy)
P.S. Looking forward to hearing your beautiful talents this weekend!

Hello,

I am sorry to hear that Jordyn is going through all of this. Katie goes for her MRI's tommorrow, and I know how hard that is. I remember when Katie had to take that neurpogen shot every day for 10 months it was horrible. We went up and saw Debbie and Austin at St. Judes last month and that place is so wonderful. Austin is such a strong boy, just like our girls that has been so strong. I will keep jordyn and nathan in my prayers and God Bless you all.

Happy Holliday's

Hi Guys,

Sorry to hear about the "DEAL" at the hospital yesterday. You have really experienced every emotion possible at a Dr. office and medical facility.
We think of you all often and Hope you have a wonderful Holiday. Being with family and friends often lighten a heavy heart. Good food can also heal a empty stomach.

Anyway, we love you and think of you often. I could really use a "Shelley Fix" It seems like a very long time since we sat down, ordered "diet cokes, and keep them
coming!" Picked the veggies out of the egg drop soup and insisted we need more won tons. Picked around the pineapple in the phoenix chicken and just chat! Chat for at least a hour and half with our stopping. I miss you Shelley and hope you are well

Happy Thanksgiving Alex

Dear World,
Thought I'd take a minute and let all of you know how much I love my wife. Yes, I know this is Jourdy's site but I can't think of my oldest without thinking of my wife. She to me is someone right up there with the best of the Mother Theresa's and the Tina Turners. She is the most loving, dedicated mom in the world and she knows how to take care of her babies and take care of the bad guys, or at least the ones who need to know where the bear *&^@s from time to time. I love her and admire her for her objectivity and her silliness, for her gift of putting a telephone to the test as far as functionability and for her soft side that she shows sometimes way to infrequently. Shell is a hero to me not only for helping one of our children cope with a life threatening disease but she helps and is concerned with the 90 and 9. She is a great person to count on in any situtation and if she knows something is beyond her capacity to accomplish, she admits it and then she puts herself in a position to face that challenge again with more knowledge and experience and with an unyielding spirit. SHe knows who God is and in her own way shows Him love and appreciation for what He has given to her to be a steward over. I am very lucky and blessed to have her as an advocate and well and a estute critic. She helps me always to sieze the moment before its too late and is understanding when I haven't stopped along the way to really, truly and energetically smell the roses. If this makes sense then good, if not all I can say is this is just one of my expressions to my wife and the mother of our children that I love you, bun! Thanks for keeping us going and for living for tomorrow even when some tomorrows haven't looked so bright! Thanks Jourd for letting me borrow a few lines of your guest page! All my love to you Shell

Just wanted you to know that yesterday Taunia Lombardi read Shelley's tribute to Jourdyn as part of the RS lesson. What a powerful tribute to a young woman who exemplifies what it means to have courage. It was very tender as we all struggled to realize how much you've gone all through and continue to be challenged. We add our collective prayers and love to your strong support network.

Hey Baby Girl! I decided since I hadn't written on here for quite a while and frankly thought that I wouldn't need to be writing, that I'd let you know how proud I am of you. I think it's tough getting up some mornings and then like your mom mentioned, I go down to make sure Dayto-boy is up and you're alread in the bathroom, primping or whatever it is that you do in the morning, and I figure I have no excuse not to get myself to work and have a great day! In fact you are one of the best reasons I keep on going when sometimes I don't feel like it, you motivate me not to waste a single minute, although I have a few nights this week been a semi-couch potato. I know you are have a great influence on your brothers and sister too! i see Dayton trying to be a help and a peace maker more and more and he even likes being together with his family right now, more than he has in a long time. I am proud of him and all he does! Tanner is very concerned for you and even though at times it doesn't seem so, I know he loves you dearly. Your little sis is growing up fast and I appreciate it so much when you have taken her on specials and included her in a lot more things than most 18 year old might. Honey, your mom and I just admire your spirit everyday and I hope you know we always will! So keep your chin up, your nose in your college school books and your thoughts on the good things in life. Thanks for all the inspiring you do around our home and wherever your are! Lots of love, Daddy

Jourdyn,
I cannot even tell you how I feel right now, and I am so sorry that I broke down on Sunday...
I Thank my Heavenly Father every second of precious life I have, I am thankful for my hair, for my leg, for all that I have to function each and every day, BUT, I struggle with an ounce of guilt to as to why I have it so easy and so many keep suffering. Your beautiful and I admire you more than I can ever tell you..
I Love You and your family because of your examples. I know a little bit of what all of you go through every day, and I am so sorry that you have to go through more.
If I can ever do anything for you or your family PLEASE let me and my mom do it.
When I see you and your mom, I can't help but think of the bond me and my mom share.
Never let her out of the circle, even though your getting older, she needs you as much as you need her.
Once again I am so sorry, next time I will try to be stronger ok. Hang tough girlie, I'm sure your sick of hearing that because it is soooo hard, but thats all I can say.
I know there is this great big wonderful plan for us, and we promised to overcome all of this to come here on earth so we could be amongst our families and friends, and our Father in Heaven loves us for doing the things ask of us with dignity and grace.
You are everything to Him.
Call me anytime.... you can reach me trough my moms e-mail.
Love You Tonz, tonz, and more tonz!!

I just wanted to tell you how much we love you, and that you are in Uncle Ryan's and my prayers every day. My family is praying (and fasting) for you as well. I wish there were some words of comfort or cheer I could offer, but all I know to do is to tell you that we adore you endlessly.
I guess we'll have to stop boycotting French stuff now, huh?

Jourdy and Shelley, as you know we are devistated about the test results! After I talked to you the other day, I hung up and was so angry that Jourdy, and the family, had to go through any more! after I threw a tizzy fit and screamed ENOUGH! UNCLE! We give! Please make it stop! I remembered one depressing day I was sitting in the dark hospital room watching your Uncle Kris get sicker and sicker. We were exhausted, discouraged, and very homesick. You two came in his room and suddenly it was bright and happy in his room. You not only brought in sunshine and a beautiful smile, but you brought in hope. Remember the speech I had you give Kris? You will never know what a difference you made that day. We left the "attitude is everything" you wrote on his white board until the day we left the hospital.
Shelley, I would have lost my mind without you! You got me through the toughest times, and I could never begin to re-pay you for your support over the last year.
I don't know why our beautiful girl has to go through more, but she is the strongest little lady I have ever known, and we know she will be fine, and come out smiling just like before.
I wish I could go through it for her! I would in a heart beat.
We will do anything and everything we can to be there for you and your family, all you have to do is let us know. Let us help when we can, we love you guys so much, and as always you are in our prayers. Thank you for everything you have done for us, we Love you so much! Aunt Tad

I told Juliann the news on Saturday and she fasted for you on Sunday. You are constantly in our prayers right now. You have amazed us for the last several years, and you continue to amaze us every day!!! Stay strong, and know that Heavenly Father will sustain you through whatever lies ahead.

I know that you are going to beat this thing once and for all. You have an open invitation, whenever you are feeling up to it to come to any Sara Evans concert you want and I will get you tickets and meet and greet passes to meet with her.

Jourdyn,

I just finished reading your mom's newest update regarding the return of your lymphoma.

I am so very sorry, beautiful niece of mine. Liz, Andrew, Annalisa, and I never cease praying for you and your family. I sure wish I could do more, but I know our Father is mindful of your precious soul -- its courage, faith in Christ, and resilience beyond your earthly years. How I pray you don't have to suffer again.

In His wisdom, mercy and grace, may your comfort be in the testimony that I KNOW the Lord won't allow any more than is necessary. We love you so deeply. YOU WILL WIN with His and your whole family's unspeakable love! Though we hardly see one another any more, know I am always mindful of you and the priviledge it is to know such a righteous young woman as you. What an amazing example of submission to our Master you are to me, Jourdyn.

Your uncle and your friend,

Wow, you are now officially a high school graduate and congratulations from your daddy! I am so happy for you and for your graduating class of 2005, I know you are all headed for some great experieinces in life. Your mom and all those others that worked on your Grad Night did an awesome job and heck for that alone it was worth all that four years of high school. Of course a lot of that time you weren't physically there but hey look where you are now! I am so impressed with you, the more I see you and your not only survived your whole cancer ordeal and still you kept up and even surpassed I am sure a whole lot of peoples expectations! After you tossed your cap into the air tears welled up in your momma's eyes as she felt a wave of happiness and all kinds of other emotions as she saw once again her first baby hit another milestone! You two have been through so much together, I think in a sweet kind of a way she realized how happy you make her and that she hopes you continue to include her and myself; but I know it's all a little different for you and mom; in this new beginning and to roads untraveled! You are a great young woman, a fantastic daughter and good example of what a big sister should be! I love you more than I can express,I never realized how fulfilling it could be to be the parent of someone like you! Keep on this course and I know you will have a tomorrow full of more challenges, more to learn and more to live for...you truly have and continue to as Tim McGraw said it," live life like you were dying", Thanks for teaching us all how to think of others first, to be strong and know that each moment of our lives is precious!

Nice new pics onthe site! Well today is a great day, I can't wait to go on this adventure with you, your mom and your brothers and sissy! When you popped in on me sitting at the computer and saw this book I was reading I thought I might share a small part of what I read last night with you.
From the book C.S. Lewis a Man and his Message, George McDonald said this,
"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew those jobs neede doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abdominablyand does not make sense, What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of--- throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself."
I love you daughter and I myself can hardly believe the grand palace that you are and are continuing to become. I love you for what you have helped God give to our family, our friends and at times to perfect strangers, that pure love of Christ and the ability to look beyond self and live, and live gloriusly! All my love your, Daddy

Hey BaGordy,
If you think it's strange for your dad to write you a note on your website, well I guess that would be 'par for the course' 'cause most of the time your 'pops' is pretty strange, according to most. Anyway, it is so great that you are home, here with us, well alot of the time you're at Keller's, or at school or at work, well that's pretty much the norm for a young lady just about to graduate high school and start a new adventure into adulthood, college and all, but just seeing you at home when I come home or even not seeing you but knowing you've been there and you thought enough of me to give up your own milkshake and leave it for me, I just want to say, you are a great daughter and great person in general. Many people are bitter about life and all that goes along with it and those people have plenty to be happy about yet they can't see the rainbow for the rain! You shine girl, you are human but then again to have stayed here with all of us through all you've had to battle through and fight for, we are very blessed to have had our first baby, our baby girl, be so strong and live life and keep on, as Tom Hanks said in Castway, 'just keep breathing, just keep living'. You are doing it and will continue doing it, thank you for loving us and teaching us. Love, Daddy

Jourdyn
There are few who can even begin to realize what this day means to you and your family. What this experience has done to give direction to your life will be the rest of the adventure. As I see how you and your family have impacted this community and the people that you come in contact with I know that out of the struggle much good has transpired. We all are more aware of blessings in our lives, and how much we need the compainionship of the Spirit. The Lord must have something very specific in mind for you. Thanks for the willingness to share a very personal experience. May the Lord bless you with a long,full, and happy life. Never forget His love and ours.

Congratulations on your birthday. What an inspiration you have been for me. I have cried many tears as I have read of your trials. Your name has been on the prayer rolls of all the temples I have gone to the last 3 years. You will never realize the lives you have touched, many people that you have never met. Have a great birthday and many more.

Our Dear, Sweet Jourdyn:
Words cannot express our gratitude to our Heavenly Father for seeing you through the past three years. You are truly an inspiration and powerful example to us and the many lives you have touched. Our Father in Heaven obviously has an even greater mission ahead for you, honey, to have spared you through all your many trials this past three years. You will always be an unbelieveable example of a faithful fighter. And through all of this you have kept that beautiful smile, loving and empathetic heart and even your precious singing voice.
We love you so very much and pray for only all the best things for your long and happy future.
All Our Love and Admiration,
Grandma Marilyn and Grandpa Dick
P.S. Cierra also sends her love and told me to tell you she continues to pray for you each night in her prayers, as we all do, honey.

We also want to tell your wonderful, devoted Mother and Father what a powerful example they are. They never gave up in spite of the odds, and their love and faith and prayers have been answered many, many times. May the Lord continue to bless your family and all the wonderful friends and neighbors there in Cedar City and elsewhere who have been so phenomenally supportive. Love Ya, Grams

I'm not sure if it was coincidence or not, but I'm glad I guessed right that this would be the day of your new life birthday! I hope the visits to PCMC will fade into a haze as they get fewer and farther apart. May you always remember the great faith you have gained and lessons you've learned through suffering. That's how we become more and more like our Savior, especially if you can acquire the kind of positive, trusting attitude that you have. Love and blessings!

Dear Shelley and Jourdyn,
What a joy to read your last update. I've had several friends and work associates lose a loved one over the last two weeks, so reading your good news was a welcome lift.Jourdyn, you are definitely one awesome young lady and I'm sure it was like hearing an angel sing at Church last week. Shelley, so glad to hear that your recovery has gone so well. Hope that your evening with Kurt Bestor was "the BEST" (no pun intended) and that you relish every moment of this Holiday Season with your family. We're celebrating Jess's Big "18" this weekend. All of our babies are growing up! Merry Christmas to you all and remember that you are always in our prayers.

Shelley,
I come to this sight often. It sounds like your life is still in a uproar. You are source of strenght to me and my family. Last month Chad stood up in sacrament meeting and asked our ward to fast for Jourdyn, Rick and Yourself. Fast that you could find comfort in a long road of sacrifice and sorrow. He later told me that he had wanted to ask that of our ward for a long time. We love you and hope that you know that. Our family thinks and prays for yours often. What a wonderful blessing it was for our family to have moved across the street from you in Sandy 13 years ago.

Love, Alex

I am happy to hear that your are hanging in there..
My brother and sister inlaw knows Kris & Tad, apparently they lived by eachother in Kanab and were friends, I think he said aroung 1983-84 or something but he said for you to tell your brother good luck and that he and his family are in their thoughts and prayers, my brother is Doug Twitchell you may mention that to him.
Well just wanted to say Hi and I miss not seeing you all at church, I wish I was still in your ward, it is really hard not to be, I miss it so much..
Give hugs and hope you continue to do well..
Love You, Lori

Hey chicks! We are so happy to hear Jourdie is back @ school! I can't believe the summer is over. You guys know I'm back in the Young Womens (can't seem to grow up)- Well, we went to the new Heber Valley Girls Camp this summer and had a blast! But, Jourdie you know we always think about you when we are at camp, and it is never quite the same without you. Hope you know we miss you a ton! And you are in our prayers. Best of luck- we love you! xoxo pennie & tannie

Dear Jourdyn, I was feeling sorry for myself because I had the flu for two days and had to change some plans. Pretty stupid, huh? I'm so sorry that you've had to spend summer days in the hospital. It seems that there's always another corner to turn. Tony sends a "Hi" from Fiji. He asks about you often. It's winter in Fiji and his current battle is with rats in his apartment. During the last battle (with red ants) he and his companion used burning torches to get rid of the uninvited guests. I don't even want to think about what they're doing to those rats. Anyway, please know that your circle of friends and prayers stretches around the globe. Kathie

Jourdyn - I am a second cousin to your father. We spent time together during our summers when we were growing up. Ask your Dad some time about his golf game...

Your courage and faith are a great example to our family. Although we haven't met, we love and pray for you and hope some measure of comfort is received knowing that so many in your extended family pray for your full recovery.

We love you,

Hey Ba Gourd,
This is your dad, yada, yada, yada...I missed when you were gone to GHA and I knew I was going to miss you while you would have been in Texas but hey what's up with havin' to go all the way to PCMC?!? No, I know the reason and honey you'll be out of there soon I know it! Please try to perk up your spirits somehow, remember your Grateful Journal Steve gave you, if you don't havae it with you, ata least think of the blessings and things you love about life that you will be back to soon! I know I don't know even a micro-nano whatever of what you're going through but I know it will help you to get out of the hospital sooner if you can kick out some positive energy of any kind to get your body healing and recouperating even quicker. I know all you long for is to be able to sleep in your own bed, no IV's, to go to a friends house when you want, to go to work when you can and to be what a 17 year old girl should be...independent and on the move and hanging with your friends and fam! It will get here, I know you need it and deserve it now, but just keep looking forward to that and do what you need to do for now! You are my great girl and a leader for sure, hang on and make the best of all you encounter and as Steve Hodsen always has told you,'Attitude is Everything!"
All my love, your Daddy

Shelley,

Unbelievable!!!! You guys are going to win the prize for getting through the most challanges. And I agreee with you, as a mother, somtimes we just have to lay the law down. Especially when that still small voice is whispering to us. We never know why, but have learned you don't mess around, just follow. Well, I am more than happy to hear that everything is ok. Give Jourdan and Keller a hug for me!! Love you all Erma

PS.
I am working on that caslte w/draw bridge for you. I keep getting sent from one person to another, but, I will get to the bottom of it all. I will let you know as soon as I find out.

Well, how many times can you do this? I mean, give me info that leaves me speechless!! When you called yesterday, I was "Stunned!" You BETTER yell at your little angel! Remind her everyday of the miricle she has partaken in. That she is Special, even if she doesn't want to be. Heavenly Father has big plans for a sweeting like Jourdyn. I pesonaly am thrilled to see her keep doing "Impossible" things in her life. "Kids" someday she will see that no one loves her like her "Momma." Thanks for sharing all of this with me. I know how hard this all must be on you. yet, you are handling it so well, really! A true example of motherhood and the streanght of a woman.
I love you Shell Bell,

I haven't written for a loooong time. I'm happy Jourdyn went to the prom and had a fun time. It is great her surgery went so well. You all are fortunate to have good friends to help you along the way! Kenna has Shingles right now! Before her 16th birthday! She is doing great though. Our prayers continue for you and we keep the prayer box at the Btfl. temple full with all of your names. Love you all!

Hello, Clevelands. So, Jourdyn, you're letting those bullies tinker with your person again. Well, let 'em. Who knows, they may figure out something that tickles. It they don't get someone to massage your feet; that always feels good. We sure love, ya Jourdyn. Take care of your Mom; maybe you could rub her feet! Later.

Just a note to let you know that the Hartlines are thinking of you and your family! You have had so much going on, it is incredible....we are praying for you all even more!
I stopped by PCMC last week when I was in SLC. Sue (in the BMT clinic) showed us her bracelet, and the charms that that Jourdyn gave her, to honor Dallin's memory--THANK YOU, JOURDYN!! While we talked, Sue described Jourdyn's prom dress and the goreous wig. I loved hearing about it. I'm so glad that things worked out well for her to attend the prom!
We send our love and best wishes, for you and for your whole family. Love, Renae

Well, Well, Well, Cleveland family. I would scream Uncle, and just keep screaming. Rog stopped by the house the day of the care accident, on his way to take Sharrod home. Wow, what a shock when Jourdyn told him you were on your way to pick up the boys from the accident. However, we were told that everyone was fine, and only minor bumps and bruises. I don't thing a broken back, and neck would count as minor. So what are they doing got the broken back, and neck? We were happy to hear the news, that cerebrail palsy is out of the question. But, what is going on and what are the signs and symptoms Tanner is having. Sorry, its been a bit since my last entry but work, school, and I, well we are struggling to keep it all going. But, I am determined to win and decided that its a "I Will Not Be Beat" thing now. Well, we love you guys and we need to take a parents night out. We will call you and make plans for a night in mesquite. How does that sound to you? Jourdyn, you are doing great, keep on hangin on. You are in our prayers that all goes well with this surgery, and that your body will recover quickly.

We Love You
Love the Raineys

I looked at your site and am very touched by your courage and the support of your family and friends. I know the Lord is watching closely over you and your family. His love and strength will see you through. You will be in my prayers. Keep in touch.

Dear Shelley and Jourdayn,
Sorry to hear it was a rough week in the ICS unit, and about the passing of another of your friends there.
We're praying for you both and hoping for a fever-free Jourdyn.
Saturday I went to Andrew's funeral in Pocatello. Andrew's little blue casket was completely lined with fabric featuring Thomas the Train. There were 2 members of the nursing staff at the funeral, an oncologist, and other cancer-patient families in attendance also. It was a beautiful service and Andrew's family has very strong faith.
We love you guys! ---Renae & Matt

Jourdyn and Shelley,
I have been checking every little while for updates. I want you to know you are in my heart and in my prayers always. Hang in there and let the love and prayers of your friends, and family be a comforting strength to you. Heavenly Father is mindful of your needs and He will help you and sustain you through all of this. I will be praying that it isn't a staff infection because we at our house know how mean and painful those can be. Hang in there and hopefully we will be up there soon and Jourdyn will be out of the hospital and we can do lunch!
Love ya

Dear Cleveland gang,
My thoughts are with you today. Rest in His peace today Jourdyn while your body repairs itself. I pray that God will protect you and send someone special today to share His love.
Father please protect Jourdyns body from infection, increase her cell counts where needed and give her the rest and peace she needs. Thank you Father for the blessed family you gave her to help lift her up, please bless them as a family in their time together. Amen

Hi Ya' There Ladies o' My Life,
Today I have dragged my butt to work and I took a moment to read so of the guestbook entries. Man we have a lot of love on our side! Between Jourdyn's friends, Keller, Kristin, Jamie and the rest of the gang at Canyon View, to our ward family and all those in the old ward family and our neighborhood 'entero' and the extended family and our cancer family I almost could see our little cancer girls and boys getting better from all th alove alone, but God has us learn patience and tolerance and humbles us all and for what?...to make the children of His that we ought to be!!! I know, off the soapbox Rick...I just want you, Jourd and Shell that I can't stand every second that our family is apart and I have hope that soon very soon we're going to have this to look on as part of our past. Lori Munford is right Shell, my break is being able to give you a hand with all you're dealing with and I know that we'll have many talks now and in the future of how we all got through these days. I love you both so much and thank you for your prayers and help from a far. You are both extremely amazing!

Shelley & Jourdyn,
Sorry your back there. We are Praying for you.
It will be nice for you to have your family there soon.
Karl told me once that when he was down here and Cami & I were up there, that when he finally got to come up, that it was a stress and worry relief break, and to be able to be the hands on person for a few days & just be able to hold us, and to be our soft place to fall, was very comforting and restful. That might sound kind of strange and stupid but I just thought I would share that.
Rick is probably so glad to be with you two that it is a comfort to him too, & is his break.
Well anyway, talk to you soon...
Love You!!
Take Care!

Torry came home from work last night and watched the weather. She got up and anounced that she "Would not be traviling in the snow." I breathed a sigh of relief. She is going to make the appointment for next weekend when Chad and I are schedualed to go down. Thanks for all the info yesterday! She appreciated it all, so did I!
Have a great weekend with your family. Love, Alex

Hi Shelley,
I tickled that she was able to find a dress. You are right, if she loves it, then it's the perfect dress. Do you ever look at her and say, "WOW!" You are a very blessed Mama! Hang in there.
Torry and Maddy are going down to Cedar on Sat. Will any of your clan be around for a quick visit? Torry has an audition for SUU's drama department. They are just staying for the day. She then needs to be to Logan on Sunday morning for a Missionary ferwell. Busy , busy, busy. I miss you and think of you often.

Hi Lovely Ladies,
I appreciated the update and I too long to be a couple 'for reals' soon...but I am so grateful you are there for Jourdyn and I couldn't ask for anymore right now! I think were all with a few sniffles here but I know we'll all like always perk up a little for our weekend visit! I know all of this experience wears on everyone but I admit I believe I am on this path with the best people in life and for all the supporter around us we have always felt your efforts were the thing that kept us going, especially in the lowest, saddest, most trying moments! Thanks for it all, especially the anonymous ones who really back us up with love and faith!

I'll glad you aren't still up at PCMC. I called up this morining and found you girls had left. Then I call your Mom's house to hear you off to look for prom dresses. I can only guess that Jourdyn is feeling better and having a better go at things. I call you later to see what's up.

Shelley and Jourdyn, here I was thinking that since you were here at my house on the 13th Shelley that things were probably going a long fairly ok and I miss a couple days of reading and oh my heck! I'm so sorry that you are having such a rough time right now. And little Anna, bless her parent's hearts. That must be so hard for all the parent's and staff at the hospital when you lose one of the children. I will continue to pray for you and your whole family, that things will improve daily and that she won't have to endure more surgeries if at all possible. Thanks so much for coming to see me. I have missed you so much. Take care and know that you are loved, missed, and prayed for daily.

Hello,
It sounds like you two are taking your time away from the hospital in stride. It is wonderful to hear you tell of "Normal" things that you are up to. I walk around just in awe. It is a miracle, all you have accomplished. Your an amazing couple of gals. It is so wonderful to learn of what Heavenly Father does for people. Your trial and story has so inspired me! Thanks
Torry got her letter from SUU, today. Four year scholorship for tuition. That is wonderful news! Her first comment was" I really get to go now!!" She is heading to Cedar on the 28, to tryout for a theater scholership. I'm tickled for her. Her hard work has paid off, I mean "Hard Work!" Anyway, just thought I would share the news.
What's on your calender this week?

Hey Ladies,
Just wanted to thank you for being so willing to share some of this experience with us all. It is always a reminder to us that life is a precious thing and that the truly important part is the love and relationships we build, those with family and friends, and most importantly with our Savior, without whom there would be no hope, no joy, or any purpose in the challenges that life throws our way. Thanks for your example, can't help but think that your family is an amazing team, somehow I just don't think that is by chance. Enjoy your freedom and fun! Know that there are many thinking good thoughts in your direction and reveling in all your good news.

Well, sister, you are one heck of a "Woman!" I mean it!!
What a privlage it is to know you. Life has a way of taking us in places we never thought we could go. Yet, it is usually, exactly what we have been prepared for. Thanks for being a great example for me personaly. I'm a person who fights my through icky situations. Not always able to pull my head out long enough to see the "Big Picture!" You, my friend seemed to not waver from "your Big Picture," and that is a profound example to me. Love you lots and get a little rest! Alex

Hey Sweethearts! I am glad that you clue us all in every once in a while to an event that only you two are there to truly appreciate. I am glad you've both made it this far and I firmly believe that we have milestones yet to achieve and as far as faith moving moutains, you've both dug out your own personal Bingham Copper Mines. Do you think there is a mother daughter duo who have intertwined and linked one another's lives more than you both have...i think not! As I go to the temple tonight I always have my family in mind and especially tonight I want you to know how grateful I am to be who I am to you. To get away from the world for a while is what I long for in this hectic world and to ponder on the blessings I have in my life, my family most importantly and I think as families go ours is a great one to be a part of! I look forward to the weekend and to be in more normal circumstances, at Granma's and Granpa's house is one of the happiest places there is!

Well, are you girls still on track for check out tomarrow? I sure hope so!! What a wild ride you all have been threw. My prayers will turn to no surprises, fast recovery, and continued blessings for you family.

Torry and Maddy had plans to come visit today but, Maddy has a raging cold. What are the visitation stipulations once you move to Farmington? Keep your chins up!

Alex is right, we are violating the purpose of this web site. We are all defensive when it comes to our Jourdy because we love her so much. It sounds like things have worked out, and Jourdy will go to her Prom, and be a Grandma! Shell and Jourdy, we love you so much and are so proud of what you have accomplished in just a week!! I still speak to buy your Dress! Sleep tight you little sweeties, and well look forward to tomorrows update on your progression!
Aunt Tad <whit@xpressweb.com>
- Saturday, January 31, 2004 0:15 AM CST

Shelley,
Call me stupid ( and many people have) but, didn't Jourdyn just pull of a modern day miracle? Isn't this what this web sit is about? Supporting a family with prayers, kind thoughts and words of encouragement? I'm confused. My emotions can only handle one thing at a time. I know a dance is something to hold on to. Something short term to fight for! But, really what about life? Graduation from high school, experincing the world, love, things that are sour, adult choices, buying your first home, graduating from collage, rainy days, family gatherings,seasons changing, serving others, heartbreak, being a grandma? Come on everybody, lighten up about the prom. This young woman has Christ and many mortals witnessing what can happen when we trust in something bigger than ourselves. I love you guys so very much. Dance memories are so very important. But, I personaly am excited to see what "LIFE" has waiting for "Miss Jourdyn!"
Love, Alex

Hey Pourdy,WOW i really didnt know that this would get blown out of porportion, its seriously all might fault. I totally agree with Kristin. I got so mad when i found out you couldn't go, u deserve it sooo much. Mrs Allred is the best teacher ever and i never meant to degrate her or the school in any way but i did and i apologize. Jourdyn and Shelley i especially apologize to you guys, i Never EVER want to make you or jourdyn look like the bad guys cause it wasnt either of your actions it was mine. I need to think before i speak or write in this case. I truely am sorry. Either way i'll get to spend Our junior prom with Jourdyn and Kristin, thats all i want. SOrry i made you guys look bad i never intended it, I hope you can forgive me everyone. Jourdyn I just want you to know that you are strong and you have sooo much love from everyone me and kristin just wanted to show you how much we care but we did it in the wrong way. I LOve ya keep up the good work ! SORRY
Jamie <lil_red07@hotmail.com>
- Friday, January 30, 2004 5:49 PM CST

I need to apologize not only to everyone reading this message board but also to Jourdyn. Not going to Prom was my personal thing, my intent was never to boycott the dance. I could never go to Jr. Prom without my best friend and that commitment was made a long time ago. I got really worked up when I read about how broken hearted she was so I got a little mouthy. I didn't know the whole story and for that I am sorry for the feelings I may have hurt. Mrs. Allred has been doing everything in her power to make it possible for Jourdyn to come to the dance, she is on Jourdyn's side. I just care so much for Jourdyn and got upset when I found out. Please don't think that Jourdyn had anything to do with what was said, Jamie and I just love her a lot and are doing all we can for her. We never meant to degrade or start hard feelings. All we wanted is to see Jourdyn happy.

WOW! I just read some of the emails from some of your friends at school, Jourdyn. Man, I'm not going to go to the prom either! So there. That'll fix 'um! (Could I have gone? Do they allow old folks? I'll sure miss that Guy Lombardo music.) What do you mean, "Who's Guy Lombardo?" He's right up there with Wayne King the Waltz King, Tommy Dorsey, and Mitch Miller. Jourdyn, you are the best. We pray for you every day and miss seeing your bright smile. You are missed and deeply loved by many people. Don't ever doubt that.

Hey Jourdyn. OH my gosh the school is so stupid they've been that way all year. I really am going to write a letter and have like the entire school including teachers sign it. YOU should be able to go to your own prom especially after all you've been through. Me and Kris will do our best to get it moved back and like Kristin said we would never go without you, it just wouldn't be fun not with out you there to make us laugh. I'm glad you're doing better, keep up the good work! Love ya see ya soon, i'm counting the days!
Jamie <lil_red07@hotmail.com>
- Thursday, January 29, 2004 5:27 PM CST

Hey Jourdyn, you already know that I'm NOT going to Prom without you! That is SO wrong of the administraters to get your hopes up and then break your heart like that, our school is SO stupid! But I love you and SO many people are pulling for you so we'll see what we can do. Don't give up though, you have come so far! Some people are just to stupid to realize that there is more to life than thier dumb yearbook being "up to par". I'd rather come to your prom anyways! I love you and keep your chin up. . .everything is going to be okay! I luv ya tonz and don't you ever forget that!

YAWHOOWEEE!!!! Things are rockin now! You go girls!! I talked to DADDY Rick tonight and he is so excited, as are the rest of us! I speak that I get to buy the Prom Dress this year! I think we could get addicted to the warm fuzzies that the good new has brought us today.
And as for the updates, don't sign anything with all the publishers you are going to have knockin at your door, until they offer you at least a million. You writings would be such an inspiration to others.
I am going to my doctor tomorrow and if he will let me, I will come up this weekend. Kris will be working, and my kids don't need me anymore. All I am allowed to do is lounge, so I figure I will try out the new massage chair.If it's at all possible, I will visit and hopefully give that over-exspended sister-in-law of mine a break. I am way over due for a Jourdy fix, and we need to start planning that prom! Love and prayers to both of you, we love you sooo much!

GO JOURDY!, GO JOURDY!, GO JOURDY! We are doing a cheer that your bone marrow takes off to a fabulous start. I hope that the food they give you today goes down easily and stays down, and hopefully tastes great. Set your goals high Jourdyn so that you won't tire from climbing upward. Remember there are many out there that have been in your shoes. Here is one of my favorite Bible verses that I want to share with you. 1 Cor 10-13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man;(others have been there before you, it is not new)and God is faithful,(He promises to never leave you or forsake you), who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able,(He believes in you, and so do I) but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it." Exchange the word temptation for trials and the meaning becomes clear. Your way of escape is to rest assured in His peace and comfort. All my love, Debbie

Dear Shelley and Jourdyn,
Hello, you two! I was happy to read that your family had a good weekend. I will be checking the site often to find out exactly when Jourdyn's engraftment happens---I was excited to hear that it will probably be within the next few days. Hooray!!!!
As for what you wrote about editing your web site so it won't be too depressing....my humble opinion is that you should just tell it like it is. It must be much harder for you and Jourdyn to live it and experience it all, compared to the emotions I feel when I read it. I admit to crying for you both, and to feeling like my heart has dropped to my feet a few times. But I also know that the parent and the patient feel the bumps far more intensely than the rest of us can! Hang in there, and I hope that the good days may be often. (but I'm willing to read about the bad ones too!)
Last week I visited Shana and Max in Utah. Their family got some very sad news last week, and you have probably heard it at the hospital (if not, ask Steve or e-mail me back).
Even though I'm not part of the cancer scene down there anymore, I still love all of you who are, and I pray for you often. Love, Renae

Dear Jourdyn and Shelley, Boy those nurses had better watch their backs. You two are a pretty awesome duo. I remember one afternoon at LDS hospital when a poor little nurse aid got the peak of my wrath (she probably decided to change careers). When love, frustration, anger and exhaustion come together the result is emotional crash. You're not alone, and you're entitled. Hang in there. . . remember the scriptures are full of "and it came to pass..." I can't think of any verses that say "It came to stay." (On the weight issue, I just figure that the 23 pounds that Gib lost in the hospital wasn't actually lost; it just shifted to my middle. Now I'm working on giving it back.) Stay strong. We think about you every day. Kathie

Hey Guys, glad to know that the fever has come down and she is looking a little less red-ish. It is really good to have Keller there, he always makes her feel a little better. Tell her sorry I forgot to send the clothes, you both know I'm a space cadet! I'll be sure to send them next week. I don't even know if she will be able to wear them(they might be to big)but Emily really wanted her to see if she could fit into them. Well, I am praying for you and the whole family. Love ya lots

Just wanted to say Hi. I was able to talk to Rick today and it was nice, I am glad you were out. Please try to have a good weekend, I know its hard though. We will be up there on Tuesday, early, so if theres a chance for us to see you and Jourdyn will you let me know. I really wasn't sure if outside of the family visitors were able to see you two. Anyway we will be close by so if we could Cami and I would love it. I will call you on Monday to check ok. We Love All of you!! Lots of HUGGING this weekend OK!!

5,198 hits on this site doesn't look to me like no one checks in any more! I'm glad Eve and I could share some time with you Friday. It's great to see for myself and feel in person Jourdyn's strength and determination. The parts you really should write in the entries, Shelley, are the great quotes of the day when Jourdyn has just had enough of all the nonsense and tells someone off! It reinforced for me that she is still fiesty as all getout and can and will stand her ground against anyone or anything that is standing between her and her goals! Now her goal is to get better. If some nurse is as obnoxious as the one I observed yesterday questioning over and over and over again on the same broken record, that may just be what it takes to irritate Jourdyn into action! I loved hearing her put that gal in her place. What a kid! I hope the weekend brings a little resting place for you. Love to you both!

Just as Alex does I have a box of tissue next to the computer. I was so glad you called me the other day even though you called to vent, I love talking with you!Even though things are so bad you always make me smile.If you need some happy thoughts remember K-mart in St. George and the shopping cart, The big come back of the Bee Gees and I have a new poopy pants story that I can't wait to tell you about (you can never give dad enough ammunition)I Love you and your family so much and when the time comes its miller time at my house.

Shelley,
You just keep on writing, it helps you as much as it helps ALL of us, and you need to be able to vent as much as you can, even if you are just writing it helps.
Also I need to know detail by detail personally, so I know what to mention in my prayers specifically for you, Jourdyn and your family.
Give Jourdyn a Hug for me and tell her I Love her. I can only imagine how lonely she feels sometimes and it can't be at all easy.
Please know I Love You too, and it will be good to have your loved ones there for a few days.
I will be in touch, oh and Shelley, Thank You for being who you are!!
Love Ya Lots!

Shelley,
I agree with all of the other entries today. I check this sight no less than 3 times a day. You are allowing us (the readers, who love you all dearly) to be informed, feel some of your pain, and understand just a little bit of what is happening. I also want to say that I never check on Jourdyn's statice without looking at the guestbook. This sight is fabulous!Reading what others say to encourage you along, gives me a since of belonging to your family. Those of us who check daily would all do what ever was asked, to help out. How do I know this information and not know the people who come to this sight? Because I hear it in their words to you and Jourdyn! A couple of months ago I put a box of tissues on my computer table, that's my advice to those who are struggling.
We love you and are waiting for your little Madisyn's arrival. Thanks agian for sharing with our family. Love, Alex

You are right telling it 'like it is'. I check the updates everyday. And usually feel pretty helpless. You are so wonderful and your family..WOW...I'm blessed to know you guys. Jourdyn is so strong and has taught be so much from the first day (trying on hair in the St. George Mall while we were there doing baptisms)to now and everyday. I love your little Maddy she is such a joy to have with us. She adds so much to our family. Your in my thoughts and prayers all the time. Thank you for your updates they let us travel this path with you. You are so not alone. We love you. Tell that sweet, strong, wonderful Jourdyn we love her too and to keep the faith.

HEY MOM! First of all I think that your updates are the BEST! I like getting up front and truthful info, not sugar coated stuff (none of that BS, I am into the straight fowardness)Don't quit writing your updates as they are. Yeah it is hard to read about what Jourdyn has to go through but please don't make light of what is going on, people need a little more honesty in their life anyway. That is just you, you are the tell-it-like-it-is momma! hehehe Tell Jourdyn I am SOOOO PROUD of her for how far she has come! Tell her I love her and I miss her and I finally got her gift to your house! So she should be expecting a little "cheer you up" package. Well, take care and love ya both tonz and tonz!
Kris <nitsirk_kralc@hotmail.com>
- Friday, January 23, 2004 4:44 PM CST

Shelley, We faithfully read your updates every day! We worry when you don't write, and that's when we try to call to find out how things are going. Knowing that both of you need your space and time to rest, we try not to call often. Write whatever you want. If it offend, or gets too graffic, for some readers... they can just quit reading. Your updates also allow us to advise others who care, but don't have access to the internet.
Tad and I were planning on coming up this weekend, but her back won't allow the car ride. We plan to be up there in a couple of weeks. Hopefully Jourdy will be feeling a little better by then. We're both due for a long visit with her. Know that we love you both and that you're in our thoughts and prayers. Kris, Tad, Kids, and puppies.

I'm not sure you will remember me, I am Joyce Johnson's friend, Marci, she refers to me as her "goofy" friend. She has kept me updated on Jourdyn's journey and sent me the address to your web site. I believe Jourdyn is about the same age as my daughter and I can't even begin to comprehend what you are going through. Anyway, I just want you to know we will keep you in our prayers. Good luck and may the Lord bless you and your family.

Shelley,
Sometimes we need to take those Earned nervous breakdowns. I Love You and I am here day & night, call me if you need to cry, yell, cuss, whatever...Please know how much I care for you, and appreciate how you struggle to get through those long loney nights at PCMC, one can ever know unless they have been there, and they truly suck, (oops can I say that) for the most part, but many nights I remember feeling angels surrounding Cami & myself and the loving arms of my Heavenly Fathers comfort and true, pure Love. My heart is with you!
Love Ya, Lori
ps BIG HUGE HUG!!!

Wow, I'm not sure of what to say. I too come to this sight and become very emotional. If only I could ease some of your pain, I would, we all would. We all love you, and pray for peace up there at PMCM. Love, Alex

Shelley and Jourdyn, as I follow your journey from a distance, I am so proud of the courage with which you face each trial. Your strength and courage are an amazing example to all of us. Shelley you were certainly entitled to have a fit and fall in it. I found myself crying outloud just reading. Jourdyn is the toughest little angel I have ever known. Give her my love and this is a cyber hug for both of you ((hug)) I pray for you daily.
The thing I love about this site is that I can almost hear your voice when you are writing. Oh, how did her photography pictures turn out? I know that Cherie is certainly sad that class is over. She really enjoyed it. Take care and remember we all love you and pray constantly for you. Love, LaNiece

Hey Ladies,
At times I want to call and other times I think it would be best not to bother Jourdyn. I miss seeing you and look forward to the the times we are able to get together on the weekends, I wish the weekends were 5 days long and the work week was only 2. I can't believe how tall Dayton is getting, just thought I'd throw that in there...anywho, I did see the movie Remember the Titans all the way through the other night and I agree with Keller that's a great show. Those boys and coaches had to overcome some huge obstacles and I think of you Jourd when I see a winner and someone who is making it, even though none of us can understand all that you've been through and all that you go through right now and only Heavenly Father knows what more is to come, your spirit is strong and I believe that there is a great ending in all of this, so keep on shinin' girl and remember I love you and your mom. Love, Daddee-oh Ricky

Hey, Hey, Hey,

Well, Shelly I would have to agree with you on that (Miller Time). I don't think that a "Diet Coke" is strong enough for what I just read!!! You just can't get good help any more, so what in the world was going on that her line was not hooked up? No wonder She was in so MUCH PAIN. Well, I am so sorry to hear that the two of you had such a bad day. But I do agree with you that no matter what, these are the people you will be dealing with, so try to be bold and blunt with a little sugar, kick butt coating. They have to understand that this is your daughter and that you are going to be a little on edge when things are not going like they should. Jourdyn, keep up the good work and please, please, please, know how much we love you and that you are in our prayers every single day. You are such and example to so many, and we all wish (like many others) we could go through this for you. We love you soooooooooooo much.

Love the Rainey Family

Shelley,
I'm truely sorry to hear about the days events. I totaly agree with you, "Pain should not be a issue, not while in the hospital!" You will know just what to say and when to say it... you'r good at this type of thing!!
Yesterday, Alyssia cut off her hair. She is donating 11 inches in Jourdyn's name. She reminded me that was her goal, to donate her hair again. She loves Jourdyn and is deeply concerned for her. "She's quite the gal!" (The two of our daughters.) You know it has been getting so curly lately. The pony has three thick curls up that go up to the elastic.
I love you ladies! I'll pray super dooper hard tonight for some relief for you guys!
Love, Alex

I liked it. I hope Jourdyns' mouth gets better. I might go over to Sierras' house but I really want to spend time with you. I will see you Friday and maybe we can do something. CAN YOU CALL ME TONIGHT? I will be at Websters right after school.

Hi Shelley & Jourdyn,
We returned from our much needed short vacation on Sat. night and have just been reading the updates, sounds pretty good on your end, and I am relieved to be able to be near a computor to keep up on your news.
We called tonight and was so happy to hear Jourdyn answer..
I am not sure she will remember but hopefully she will..
We will be up there the first part of the week, not sure where yet, either PCMC or St. Marks. I will definatly be in touch..
Thanks for your Love and Prayers as if you don't have enough, you go and worry about me (us) and we appreciate your thoughts and prayers so much..

HAPPY NEW BIRTHDAY!! I hope all went well with the transplant today. I was thrilled to read of your good day yesterday, when Jourdyn graduated from radiation. Shelley, we hope that the "best dressed hooker in the hospital" photos that you referred to will soon be displayed on this site! Seriously, though... our whole family wishes you all the best and have been saying lots of extra prayers for you today. We are proud of you both. Love, the Hartlines

THIS IS A GREAT DAY -- HAPPY RE-BIRTHDAY, Jourdie!
We're all so thrilled that this day has arrived after all you've been through. We love you so much and you're both in our thoughts and prayers always. Jourdyn, you're a real inspiration to all of us for your strength and determination. Our Heavenly Father must love you a great deal as do we, your extended family.
Also, Many thanks to all your wonderful friends and supporters who have been so devoted to you and the Cleveland family over the past year and a half. I've never known such wonderful people as those who are Rick & Shelley's family friends in Cedar and other locations.Many thanks to you from Jourdyn's Grandma Marilyn.
As for you, Jourdyn, keep up the good work, honey. I know there will still be trials ahead, but I also know you'll meet and beat them as you always have, honey.
All my love and prayers,

Hi Shelley and Jourdyn:
Just wanted to thank you for keeping everyone updated. I check every day to see you you're doing, and appreciate being informed without being intrusive on your time. You and your family are in my every prayer. I am so impressed with the bond you have - you are able to accept the disappointments and sorrows - you are able to infuse humor and actually enjoy some things - and you are strong for each other. You are admired and loved. I will be going through Cedar City on Jan 31st and wonder if it would be possible to stop by and see Madi and give her a big hug from her old primary teacher. Let me know as I'd love to see and hug her. Happy BMB, and much love - you can beat this!

BaGourd and our Mom Shellster,
I can't believe it, it's almost like going back in time or having you born on leap year or something but whatever it is I wanted to not be the last one to wish you the most sincere Happy Re-Birthday ever! I think even old Nicodemus (uh oh here comes the scriptures coming out in me) from the New Testament would have been really freaked out about this one baby! I marvelled at your entrance into mortality and I marvel even more now, you deserve more than anyone I know a new a bright beginning, thank you angel for being tough and enduring through so so much, I know you still have plenty of fight left for these days of isolation and I can only say all the more I know you are a champion! Now I'm off my preacher boy soap-box...You have the bestest day and I want to get you something special for this landmark event so if there's anything specific you want or need think about, I've got and idea of my own so, well you know...hugs to youand your mommy and as you often tenderly have said to me many a time, 'Daddy' is always there for you!!!!
By the way Amber, Jamie, Kristin, Luke and all your possee says HI! I guess I can let Keller say hello and whatever else he'd like to tell ya' himself, we had a chat about our visit this weekend, I know he always looks forward to seeing you Jourdy! Shell, praise to the mother! Yo! I wish every mom could do it like you do...but that's what makes you, you and not like every other mom! Thanks for caring for one personally there and for yourself and for the rest of us in your prayers and and spirit! Like I said before this is a healing process for all of us! Love ya' you gargoyles you!

Hello Shell and Jourd:
Mel is back at the U of U and is enjoying her classes so far(after the first two days. We all know that enjoyment could quickly disappear.) She knows she can't see Jourdyn right now, but she wants you to call her as soon as Jourd can have visitors. Mel and I have gone through some major changes lately. I will have to fill you in when I can call you. Whenever I am having a bad day or am dealing with a lot of stress in my life, I think of Jourdyn and her struggle which immediately helps me to put my problems in perspective. Both you and Jourdyn are an incredible source of inspiration to me and your struggles humble me. Good luck with the BMT and try to keep your spirits up. I pray for you several times a day. All of my love to your entire family. Helen

I'm missing talking to you. I'm a big girl and I totaly understand, your frustration with rehashing everything. Just know that you girls are in my heart and thoughts through out the day.
Torry got excepted into SUU. "Excited" is not the word! Not even by a long shot. She is planning on Sunday dinners with your clan, as often as she can get away with it!!
Remember that Febuary, before cancer? You took me in, like you have so many times in the last 13 years. Your home became a retreat for me in my crazy time of need, (I thought). Thanks Shelley, you are a wonderful lady. Sitting in your basement scrapbooking, listening to kids, and watching the Osbornes. (We were so naughty). I think of the two of us at that moment, unsuspecting of the future, complaing of such triveal things. Through your trials I am reminded of what blessed women we are. Wonderful husbands(who "get"us), beautiful babies, modern medicine, and a belief in our Savior Jesus Christ.
One day at a time Shelley, just keep it up! Love Ya, Alex

Dear Jourdyn,
It was so great to see you last week. You are a ray of sunshine in our lives. Kenna is so glad you stopped by, she thinks you look so beautiful despite the rough time you're going through. You know with my last pregnancy I had to stay in my room and rest nearly the entire time. Things that kept me going? Phone calls, e-mail, visiting teachers, the beautiful changes of the seasons I would see through my window, my kitten, mostly my family and the love and support they gave me and the treadmill I kept telling myself I'd get after the baby was born so I could start running again,(which Ken bought me on my birthday) I always kept certain dreams and hopes and ideas in my mind so when I got better I would do them, and I am. Keep your dreams alive Jourdy, write them down, share them with Keller and your mom and dad and grandparents and when your free of that hospital room you can start again with fresh ideas, new beginnings, go shopping for new clothes, eat something you've never had before, walk on Temple Square and smell the new blossoms, Ok I'm getting corny, get your nails done!!! Well, we love you and look forward to visiting you again!Love, Marienne

Hey Jourdyn and Shelley,
I thought I would let you know....I was at school the other day sitting with Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Beers. They had brought the newspaper in and was showing everyone your picture. They said, "Look, there's our Jourdyn". They all had a lot of questions and are thinking and praying for you. You have touched a lot of people in your life. You make such an impact on everyone you meet. I think about when you were in my 6th grade class and the conversations we would have. You were the one who taught me about babysitters which is a big part of my life. I still go by the rules you taught me. Hannah has asked about you. She wants to know if you are still in the hospital. She is concerned about you too. You have influenced her life as well. Good Luck to you--you CAN beat this!!

Hey Jourdy, I have been trying to get a hold of you since Wed. but no one answers the phone in your room. Maybe I have the wrong room number. . .again! I sent you another letter on Tuesday, I sent it to Grandma's so hopefully you'll be getting it soon if you already haven't. I miss ya tonz and tonz. I want to let you know how much I love you and remember I am always here for you! Thank You so much for being my bestest friend and for all you have been teaching me. I'll never be able to repay you for all the memories and experiences you have given me. You are the best! Luv ya always and forever!

I just read the update for today. Bummer about being sick so much of the day. How are you trying to keep her stimulated through all of the monotony?
Today we spent the day in Logan, well most of us, minus 2. I find myself thinking about you guys at the oddest times. As we're up in the mountains taking a sleigh ride through a herd of elk, it was peaceful. You guys deserve peace. I pray for you to get to enjoy the simple things again. Love, Alex

Shell Bell,
How are you two weathering the storm today? I could never write words to let you two know, how much it ment to me to hear Jourdyn's voice on the other end of my phone. Chad and I were just down the street from PCMC. Chad pulled off the road, so I wouldn't lose my signal. What a sweetheart, that daughter of yours. Thanks again for sharing this very personal experince with all of us. Love, you guys, Alex

Shelley and Jourdyn, it was so good to talk to you today. Your possitve attitude is so inspiring. I will be praying for you and thinking about you tomorrow. Hope your sushi was good today. Don't forget that I promised to come up there and have a fear factor experience and eat sushi with you when you get through all of this. I never thought I would say this, but I am truly looking forward to eating the stuff, if it means you are through all of this! I'm happy for you that the day has finally come! You and your Mom are two amazing people! May the Lord continue to bless and guide you through this journey.

Hey Baberhams,
Do you two know how much I love you guys! Hun, I love the entries you put in, you could make a living as a writer! Jourdy Pourdy, (I know you hate that, but you are our little girl) you are the most outrageously awesome young woman! The night before last was a good experience for your ol' dad, having your mom trust me with all the meds, TPN, flushing of the lines etc. made me feel kind like...important and like I was taking more of a part in all of this stuff! I know this news as far as the stem cell transplant actually, maybe, possibly getting started has to encourage you! You have passed through so much and I think you are truly amazing, even when you've had hard times; like we'll ever know how much you've really gone through, you know the 'walking in someone's shoes' thing; you vounce back and have a great perspective, even in the reality check times you've had just you and mom...what I'm trying to say is that I am very, very glad to have you for a daughter, I love you baby! Girls have a super dee duper day!!!

Hi again Jourdyn, this is Rachel Schryver. I'm sure your mom reads these things, or at least tells you about them all the time. And that has got to get a little tiring after a while... ;) I sent off a letter to you today, so hopefully I got the right address and it will get to you soon. There's nothing like getting your own piece of mail. Mrs. Merrell and Toa say hi. So does Tommy Lamb and Cambria Wilhelm. We all love you so much! Bye!

God bless you all. We are reading up on your entries, as we have been gone for two weeks and see that you all have been through a lot. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Even though we have only met over the phone a few weeks ago, I can't stop thinking about your family. I hope all goes well this week with Jourdyns Bone Marrow treatments. Let me know if there are any DVD titles that Jourdyn would like, I would really like to get her some. Take Care, Rhonda Lawley

Shelley,
I couldn't stop myself from checking the site, just in case something new has developed. Glad to see no new entrys.
Last night our family made it's annual trip down to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building to watch the Testiments. We have been going for 4 years now. New Years Eve seems like the perfect time to watch our Savior's life and the events that took place long ago, that gives us meaning in our lives today. That movie will always hold a special place in our family's heart. You know, healing the Blind, the Sick and those who have a Broken Heart. It just hits so close to home for our family. I sat by Sierra. When Christ was healing a blind man she said, "This is real, I know it is a movie but, Jesus really fixes people." She then said, "He is already fixing Alyssia eyes,she will see me someday." Just like that, I was no longer just on an activity with my family, I was looking into our future.
We all love you guys and are hope what you hope for. Happy New Year!!!!!
Love, Alex

We watched Jourdy and Rick on the news tonight. She looks great! Where were you Shell? I'm glad you had a good Christmas, and your right, Keller is amazing I don't know to many boys that age that would be so committed. How long is the family staying at Grandma's?
We love you all, and as always: your in our prayers. Talk to you soon.

She's a Star! Just saw the news, I must admit I can't get through the day without checking in to see how things are going....kind of checking on how the prayers are going I guess. Then here she is ! Looking GREAT I might add, and on the news! I'm so very grateful that Christmas has been as good as the circumstances will allow. You are such a part of all our lives, we are constantly amazed by the love that we get to witness as you ALL pull together to face this dragon. May the Lord bless you and yours with the moment by moment blessings that you may require and an abundance of the Comforter. Hope this New Year brings you joy and peace of heart and mind.

Shell Bell,
So, did you survive the "Whole Ordeal?" I hope you were able to more than just survive! I believe that the gift of our Savior is the Greatest Gift of all. That he hears all of our prayers, and is guiding us all gently through our troubled waters. Stay strong Shelley! Jourdyn is blessed to have the family that God gave her. Thank you for inadvertently showing me what family, love, sacrifice, and faith in our Heavenly Father can do and how it can change lives.
Any way, our family got a ping pong table for Christmas. It has been nonstop games since yesterday. I don't think I can remember when the last time we stopped and enjoyed each, as much as we have this Holiday. Let us know about your sweet baby and how she is holding up threw all of this suffering. Love you lots!! Alex

Good morning, Jourdyn, Shelley, and associates. Christmas eve and morning have come and gone so now we are REALLY into the leftovers. And that's OK because the meal leftovers are just like Christmas gifts, it's what you do with them AFTER Christmas and who you thank that really counts. Please know and believe that you are in our prayers every day, and that we pray to be blessed with your strength and testamony. Elder Gibson called from Fiji for a minute last evening to confirm the time of his extended call tomorrow when all of us finally can get together. Aren't families a neat invention? And you guys have got the best!

Hi, Shelley! Don't you fret a second about how your emails sound to us. As long as I have this email contact, coming and going, I have trouble believing ANYONE would attempt to get in the obvious lineup to call you on the phone. If phone conversations are necessary we can all send you prepaid cards and you can call us, when it's convenient for you and your family. Your strength, spiritually and temporally, is the greatest example and learning experience any of us have been blessed with, maybe ever. We love and miss each one of you.

Shelly,
Hey girlfriend, if any one deserves a day of "venting" it's you! I didn't think your posting was offesive and I have a hard time believing any one else would. You have been through so much, and I know it has to be hard to tell the same story over and over again. That's why I love this website so much. It keeps us informed without having to call everyday for an update. We all wait for your update every night before we go to bed.
It is so good to finally get some good news, with Jordys faith, strong will and spirit and the best and most supportive Mother in the world, she can't do anything but win!
I hope you will sleep well tonight. (still in a chair?) I will rent a bed and have it put in your room if they will let me. Have you asked? I'm sure you have, but I want to help! I love you guys so much and can't wait to see you. What movies does Jordy want? We would love to send her some. Until tomorrow...

Finely a glimmer of good news. We all were hoping and praying for your family to get some. The Christmas plan sounds busy but managable. Now I think we should all pray for little developments either way. Just peace to all of you threw the Holiday.
Your the Best Shell Bell! Oh yea, It was pure entertainment wathcing a home video of our little Tanner and Alyssia during the Easter Parade. I mean it, "The Best Kids in the Valley" Hee Hee

Good Morning, Shell Bell,
Yesterday afternoon our family gathered around the "Boob Tube," and watched home movies all afternoon. I have to remind you that we have ther "Craziest, Cutest, Most Talented Children in the Valley!" What a bunch of nuts! It was wonderful to see Jourdyn in many of these video's. She sung her heart out in front of Sear's at the Fashion Place Mall. She would die, but she looked adorable in that green velvet dress, so cute. Then we happened on a lip sync video. Our two girls acting like monkey's to that Tarzan song. Total Goober's. Yes, we have alot to be proud of.
I miss you and I'm sorry that I might have been one of your annoying phone calls. You guys are the salt of the earth and I geuss some of us looking in can be a little insensitive. Friends sometimes just don't think things threw. I have been tempted to call or visit so many times the last couple of weeks, I'm glad I didn't act on that impulse after reading yesterday's entry.
Anyway, Love, Alex

Dear Shelley and Jourdyn and other Clevelanders; (sounds like a convention crowd) Individuals and groups, couples and bunches asked about you folks yesterday in church. I said what I could to clue them in from my vast knowledge of medical science...but mostly from Shelley's notes in Jourdyn's Journey. Then I told the HP group that they could each learn and contribute on their own, and I gave them this email address; lots of old guys wrote it down, too, so I hope what I did was a good thing. Shelley and Jourdyn, you two ladies are the strongest and best family combo I know of. We pray for you each day and pray that we can learn to apply your message to our weak lives.

Just a quick note to say hang in there. So glad that the family has had time together and that you will be able to spend some time with the kids over Christmas. How sweet that Keller will be with Jourdy on Christmas Eve. I'm sure that your Church service today was wonderful. You were all in my heart as we sang in the choir today. Keep a smile in your heart and know that you are loved. Please give Jourdyn a kiss from Jess and me. Love, Sheila

We have Braylee here (Russell, he to like his Dad, has changed his name) and he wanted to say hi to his Aunt Shell (hey,Lady)and his favorite cousins. He will be here until the sixth. Our girls are here making candy, and the boys are watching Titanic, but you are heavy on all of our minds. It is amazing how many visitors you recieve at this site, there are tons of people that love you! We are constantly praying for the both of you and your family.

Hi Ba Gor and Shell Bell,
This is the dad writing to let you know that we are all very blessed and I appreciate being supported by all the wonderful family and friends too! I feel I have finally gotten a hold of the sometimes elusive Christmas spirit and although I know things for us won't be exactly the situation that is ideal, it has to be what we make of it. Thank you Shell for once again being the great Christmas loving mom that you are in using what little free time you have had to make sure your kids don't forget the fun of this holiday and to you Jourdy thanks for helping us all to realize what a special gift it is to be able to have a body and experience mortality and even when life isn't easy or fair and there is pain and questions and doubting, there is always the Savior standing, watching and ever waiting for us to have Him lift our burdens. You my daughter are one of the most special of God's creations and I'm glad, awfully glad to have you as a teacher of how life is a beautiful, glorious miracle and that there is hope as well as purpose to all that you and I and all of us go through. This Christmas will always be one that will unique and full of lasting memories. I know I'm not always in tune with things and it's hard to be distanced from you two, but Christmas is now a time to treasure more than we ever have before, I love you both so much and I'll keep trying to be as supportive as I can when I can be with you and when I cannot. Thanks for giving me meaning to my life and for letting me be a part of all this!

I hope your day had a bit of sunshine and hope. You guys sure deserve some. Any thing I can do for the Holiday? Have you got some help in that department? Chad is taking the whole week off and we would love to lighten your load in anyway. I hope you get to sneak a break from the hospital, now that Rick is up. Stay strong Shelley, I mean that, I know you have it some were in you. And lean on Heavenly Father. I love you and think of you often. Did she have surgery on ther kindney?

Dear Shelley and Jourdyn, Isn't that "breathing machine" an absolutely horrible friend? After Brother Gibson's accident he hated using that thing, but we could see that he got stronger when he used it (even though he didn't use it as often as he was supposed to). I remember that all through his recovery when he would get frustrated and depressed he would say "If Jourdyn has the courage to fight her battle, I can deal with this." You were, and are his hero, Jourdyn, and I thank you for the wonderful influence you've been our lives. You are in our hearts every day.

Shelley and Jourdyn,
We are so proud of both of you! My heart is softened to the crap in the world whenever I read your journal everyday and hear of Jourdyn's battle and strenth and your determination to help her get better. You go girls! Kenna and I are making Jourdyn a colorful,cozy, blanket for Christmas. We will give it to her grandparents to give to you so we don't disturb her rest.
Love you both! Have a Merry Christmas!

Had to start my day by checking in on your progress. What a day you had yesterday!Jourdyn, I am so PROUD of your strength. I know how painful it must have been for you between the walking and breathing exercises. You have so many people who love you and are sending you their prayers each and every day until you have this thing beat! You two take care of yourselves and EACH OTHER today and we'll be watching to hear about the next surgery.
Extra Big Hug,

Dear Jourdyn; This is Friday morning. I missed a bunch of your Mom's updates since Monday as I flew back to Wisc. to escort Kathie's mom out here for Christmas. On the 30th and 31st I make the round trip again to get her home. Your mom says those doctors again noticed your beauty and strength and hauled you off for some party in surgery...and again you showed them how tough a lady you are! Great news! This mather-in-law's mission that I'm on will put me on and off airplanes 8 times between Salt Lake and Wisc. by New Years eve. I've always loved to fly but this is rediculous.(sp?) You are in my thoughts daily, Jourdyn, you and your family of loving servants. Tell each one how much you love them; their hearts are yours, and your heart is theirs, always and forever. Now get on with this recovery business, will ya?

Mother Bear? Of course you are, and that is a good thing, in a time like this. You are perfect for the job of protecting your children. I know I have seen you in action. Heavenly Father will whisper in your ear and let you know when to step in for her. I have had it happen to me many times. Still, you gotta love the note!!

Hi Shelley & Rick, We were out with your mom and dad at a viewing tonight and found out about this page. We are relieved to hear the surgery went well and that she is rallying so quickly. Sally and her family will be here on Monday and will be staying for a couple of weeks. Sure hope you can see each other, even if it is only a brief visit. Give Jourdyn our love and tell her we are thinking about her constantly and praying for her speedy recovery from this surgery so she can move on to the next step. Love,

Shelley, Jourdyn, Rick and the Kids: I wanted you to know that Jourdyn's struggle is constantly on my mind. I am amazed at the strength you as a family have. I don't know that if I had to sit at Mel's bedside and watch her fight for life so often that I would have the strength and the fortitude to keep mentally sane. All I can say is that God must truly have you on His mind and that He has sent you an arsenal of angels to watch over all of you. I choke up every time I send out a prayer for the Cleveland family. I love you all and want you to know that. I feel so helpless because I don't live close enough to take care of your kids in Cedar and I don't know how to ease the pain any of you are feeling. Just know that I have a never-ending prayer going out to all of you. Jourdyn, never doubt God's love for you. You are His special angel here on earth. I love you immensely! Aunt Helen

Shelley and Rick,
It's 5:00 and I was so glad to see your posting from last night and that Jourdy's surgery was successsful. So glad to know that you have had your family with you during this ordeal. I worked downtown until 7:00 last night and knowing that Jourdy was in surgery, it was all I could do to not run over to Primary's and give you a big hug. I sent you a big prayer instead. Our whole family has you in our thoughts and prayers each and every day. Neil was calling me on break yesterday to see how things were going. Juliann asked about Jourdy as soon as I talked to her after school. You are so right about Jourdy being a fighter. She has the spirit to beat this thing! Give her a hug and kiss from us and we'll wait to hear from you later today.

We just want you all to know how much we love each and everyone of you! This is such a challange for you all. Jourdyn we are on our knees praying for you several times a day, and are thinking of you every minute right now. Ranid's "friend" Wes went to the temple yesterday and put your name in, it seems as though Randi's prayers and concern have touched him and he feels as though he knows you through her. We want you all to know that we love you more than words could ever say. Shelley & Rick is there ANYTHING we can do to help? We would really like to do something, anything!! WE LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOOOOOO MUCH.

LOVE THE RAINEY FAMILY.

PS.
We got to talk to Elder Rainey yesterday, we gave him the update and he said he was going to call a special fast and prayer with all the Elders there in the good ole Czech Republic. He wants you to know Jourdyn how much he loves you and that he is thinking of you daily. He also wants you to remember that the Lord is with you, you are never alone. Keep the faith

Jourdyn/Shelley

My prayers are with you. I wanted you to know that I have signed up to be a bone marrow donor. I know that my blood type is a match (according to G-ma Jan b+?) however there is only a very slim chance that I will be match for the nine other criteria. I have given the blood sample and will let you know what my stats are when they come. The lady at the marrow center says that I can have a copy of them. If I am not a match for Jourdyn, I will still donate if called. I would feel blessed if I could give such a precious gift if I were a match to anyone.

Love and blessings. Thanks for your inspiration.

When I was visiting Ron, Linda and Arielle today, Ron gave me the site for your daughter Jourdyn. What a beautiful girl she is! It is amazing how many lives are touched and comforted as we reach out to one another. On this Thanksgiving, my prayers and good wishes extend to you and your family. Ari is beginning to respond and hopefully come out of this long sleep she has been in. We have a lot to be thankful for -

Hey BaGord,
Thought I'd take a minute or more to let you know how thankful I am that your Heavenly Father gave me such a fine daughter. You have always, always been someone I have admired. Not just for your beauty and for your love for for life but for the good choices you have made. It's reflected in how much people gather and rally around you and in how much they sacrifice their time and energies to let you know they are standing by you in whatever you go through! I thinks one of you biggest fans as you probably already know is your momma! She loves all her children beyond even my understanding and if anyone knows or comes close to knowing what you are going through at this point in your life it's her,her and the Savior.
Even thgough you are here, stuck in the hospital on a holiday where you should be at home with your family you may feel you're not making any progress, that you're not moving ahead, you are, you are in so many ways. We'll figure out this latest challenge and we'll look back and see how all of this experience was tailored to you needs for growth and progress on an eternal perspective, but for now I want you to know how much you've done to heal me, my heart and my spirit. There is purpose in everything and although none of us would have ever wanted any of this to happen, it is and we just need to keep the faith and have trust is One who knows best, for you, for me, for al of us. You help me to focus on what is really, really important and that is the time we have here with each other and our family and what we choose to do with that time. Keeps making right choices and following in the right ways, all things will work out for you in the end. Thanks again for letting me love you and for being the great daughter of our Father in Heaven that you are and for suffering through so much that I probably never begin to comprehend.

Shelley,

It is nearly 2am here and as I sat by Ari's bedside today I have repeatedly thought of you and Jourdyn. I checked often for updates and was so happy to read one just now. I was so very worried and I am pleased things are beginning to turn around for you. I know how frightening this all is. Ari just (in the last 2 hours) made her first signs of waking up after 3 days and they may have her off the ventilator and perhaps off dialysis tomorrow. We seem to have beaten this infection and hope and pray that Jourdyn does the same.
Linda has taken your wonderful advice and is sleeping much more. Hope you do so as well.
Know that we are with you in spirit.

I missed you this weekend. Is it bad to feel guilty about your hardship? Sometimes when I am caught up in my families activities, I think of you and Jourdyn suffering so much. It is just amazing how deeply I feel for your family. I love you and pray for you daily. How are you holding up? Like I really have to ask? Can I bring you something? Please just once say yes, then I can feel like I'm helping!!
Call me so you can catch me up!!

You are in our prayers morning and night. Kenna says I love you to Jourdyn. I put both your names in the Btfl Temple last week. Actually I do each month at Temple night. Shelly stop by if you need anything. Ken said if you need anything done to your car, come by and he will take care of you free of charge, if your car is in real trouble we'll get you where you need to go! Love, Marienne

Farmington, Utah U>S>A - Sunday, November 23, 2003 4:46 PM CST

Shelley and Jourdyn - You've been in my thoughts and prayers much lately. I admire your strength and fortitude. I am sure you must often feel like crumbling beneath the weight of it all, and I hope you seek comfort in the fact that the Lord literally felt all that you do now. Each spasm of your physical and emotional pain, every knot of grief, all moments of frustration and anguish, and the terror of unspeakable fears were first felt and endured by Jesus Christ for the sole reason of being able to understand, and therefore comfort, Jourdyn Cleveland and her loved ones during this specific time.

We haven't had any luck in selling our house yet (did you hear the Drew's sold theirs?). This business of being a single mom and having the family split up is much more difficult than I had imagined. Obviously you guys can relate to that. We get fairly steady rumors of Richard being sent to Iraq for a year or so. I told him he'd better enlist two of his children now, because he'll be taking at least that many with him in the footlocker. I sure admire Ric's ability to handle the family while you're away from them. You are ALL incredible.

We got our first real snow the other day, and it has prompted my animal-loving-but-allergic children to create a warm home in the garage for the scary looking stray cat that's been hanging around here for a while. It's become totally tame - although it looks more like a wild animal than a pet - and my kids just hug and cuddle it all day long. They even fed my $7.99/pound deli turkey to it the other day. I cringe when I think of what else in my kitchen has been exposed to stray cat germs. I guess I have to give in and be responsible and take it to the vet.

Tessa and Maia were peering over my shoulder as I looked at the snapshots of Jordyn on this site. They both exclaimed, "She is so pretty!" It reminded me of the poster Tessa made Jourdyn and her kindergarten spelling job. The children do keep you in their prayers.

May the Lord bless, love Rhonda

Dear Shelly and Jourdyn,
Jan told me about this site this morning. Great idea!
The following is from a letter from Kenna...Jourdyn, Hey there? It's been a while since I've seen or talked to you, but I'm still thinking about you! How are you doing? I'm doing o.k. The other day I was looking through a box of pictures my mom keeps for me. The other night I looked through it and came across a big, pink homemade "get well "card. I don't know if you remeber that summer you were here living with your grandparents that I twisted my ankle. You went to Chevron the next day and bought me candy and made me that card. I still have it! It still means a lot to me. I have scrapbook pages of that summer with pictures of me, you, Pete, Perry and Dayton. Remember the goodbye party we tried to throw for you before you moved to Ceder City? Those pictures are from that night. Remember us playing dress up at Bear Lake and I have pictures of that too. We sure have a lot of good memories and I'm looking forward to more! I talked to your mom last sunday and she was telling me about some stuff you've been going through and Jourdyn you are so brave, I don't know if I could handle it as bravely as you . I'm way proud of you and I know that Heavenly Father watches over you everyday and is proud of you, too. He has a great plan for you and whatever his plan is, it is out of love for you. Jourdyn, I hope you know that so many people love you and care about you, more than you can imagine! You are a great friendto everyone and a good example. Just keep fighting this babe. This is a hard, hard trial for you to endure, but you're strong and I know you can do it! I'm praying for you. I love you! Stay strong and keep your faith strong ,too.I love you! Kenna.

Shelley,
Chad just gave me your message. I've tried to call but the line was busy. Sorry to hear about the turn of events. This feeling of helplessness is over welming. We love you guys so much and are feeling your pain secondhand.
I'm coming up to the Pingree for a 8:30 a.m. meeting. We should be done around 9:30ish. I understand that we can visit you in the waiting room? The girls and I are coming up. Call me to confirm our visit. May our Heavenly Father cradle you both in his arms tonight. Sleep well. Love Alex

You and Rick always did so well at working independent of each other. Chad and I are always together. Really you guys are equipted for these long periods apart. Understandably this is taking it toll on the whole family. I tell Chad, that Rick makes a great Dad. He cooks, shops, and is involved. Shelley you have the "will" like know other. You are organized, verbal, and wonderful attentive nurse. Your roles are larger than most parents, and you each do them so well! We believe our Heavenly Father is guiding you both threw these troubled waters. I love you! I love your family! Alex

I read what your mom writes and it is a eerie familar to me but yet I feel privledged in a weird way to actually know what she is talking about having been through a simular treatment, and I feel connected to you with heartfelt love and appreciation for what is being ask of you right now. I live in St. George now but will keep informed through my mom. I will keep praying for you, I know He hears me!! Love, Cami

Dear Jourdyn; Winter has come to Cedar City. That's fine with me cause summer was too hot and being from northern Wisconsin I like chilly, cool, cold, and Man, it's freezing! The down side is I had to winterize the engine on my pontoon boat, and that means the boat ain't goin' no where til Spring. Do ya s'pose we could talk your folks into letting us take you for a pontoon boat ride on a reservoir next Spring or Summer? It's very safe and easy and loads of fun. We always serve lunch aboard just like big fancy cruise boats do. You may have to start working on your folks for permission this winter. Jourdyn, you have the strongest spirit I have ever witnessed in a youth in our church. Remember that we think about you, picture you in our minds, hear your voice in our hearts, and see your pretty face in our thoughts. You are with us always and we pray that we can strengthen our spirts by knowing yours. There are parts of our lives that are on hold while we pray for, think about, and wait for the return of your good health.

I left the titles up to you, and I hope you like them, they were probably the best matting jobs I've done all year! haha!

Jourdyn, always graceful and elegant beyound your years, the poem I just posted reminded me of something St. Augustine said. He wrote that grace is the ability to love God so that we hopefully remain pure and good in his sight, and judging from the poem below, the thorns you are enduring will result in such Grace. Stay strong, my graceful Jourdy! I love you sooooooo much!

"Strange gift indeed! - a thorn to prick,
To pierce into the very quick:
To cause perpetual sense of pain;
Strange gift! And yet, twas given for gain.

"Unwelcome, - yet it came to stay;
Nor could it e'en be prayed away.
It came to fill its God-planned place, -
A life-enriching means of grace.

"And he who bore it day by day,
Found Christ his power, his strength, his stay:
In weakness glorified, since thereby
The power of Christ might on him lie.

"Oh much-tried saint, with fainting heart,
The thorn with its perpetual smart,
With all its wearing ceaseless pain
Can be thy means of priceless gain.

"God's grace-thorns, - ah, what forms they take!
What piercing, smarting pain they make!
And yet, each one in love is sent,
And always just for blessing meant.

"And so, whate're thy thorn may be,
From God accept it willingly:
But reckon Christ, - His life - the power
To keep, in thy most trying hour.

"And sure - thy life will richer grow:
His grace sufficient will bestow:
And in Heaven's morn thy joy twill be
That, by His thorn, He strengthened thee."

I've been thinking of you all week. You are in my prayers, and on my mind. Is there anything I can do for you or Jourdyn or your family? Is there anything the Edgemont Ward can do, besides PRAY? because you know you are in the prayers of so many. If you need my help please call.
Jourdy- man! I am so sorry to hear that you are stuck in there! I wish we were up on the slopes together, Snowbird, Solitude, and Brighton are all OPEN! If I could, I would snatch you up and away we would go! Please know how much you are loved and remembered, and we are so looking forward to getting our old Jourdy back! Love you, hang on! okay?

Hi Girls,
Hope you had a great weekend. I hope you had an uneventfull weekend and keep yourselves out of trouble.
I've been fighting a wicked cold but, finely out of the woods. Alyssia and Sierra are off track now. We have lot's of fun things on our calenders. One of our stops is up to say "HI!" I thought Alyssia could play for awhile in the lobby again, we'll see.
I finely had the Primary Program today. I can now rest easy. You know how that stuff makes me a wreak.
I think of you often.
Love, Alex

It was so wonderful to see all of you on Sunday! I can't thank-you enough for bringing such a wonderful spirit to our sacrament meeting. Jourdy- you are such a beautiful young women both inside and out! It seems like only yesterday you and Tannie were just little beehives, and we had such adventures together at girls camp! I can still picture you as a tiny little first grader- what a doll!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, thanks for your visit to our ward, it felt as if you had never left us.You all look so good, please take care and hope to see you soon!

Jourdyn, Tonight was Mutual and I was thinking of you as we had heard the bad news that there are no matches with your brothers and sister. What a blow. I have to tell you that my son, Carson, has been thinking of you often. Because of his disability he wants to eat all the time so that we literally have to lock up the food in our house. But the other morning he came into the kitchen at breakfast-time and told me that he wanted to fast for you that day. Now for Carson to voluntarily give up food is a huge sacrifice. I was so proud of him because he skipped breakfast to fast for you. Of course, by lunch he had to eat, but you have really made an impact on him! You are in our family's thoughts and prayers and we hope to see you soon.

Hey Shell Bell,
It was nice to hear from you yesterday. Bummer, on all the news! What can I do? Does any thing sound yummy or interesting to either if you? You know I just want to "Do Something!"
I'll be up by the U on Thursday, maybe I can stop by to see you all.
The Baptizm was a wonderful experience! Thanks for sharing with us. Maddy and Sierra were both a mess. They realized how much they miss your family and how long it has been since we were all together. I looked all of us and couldn't help but remember Frounter Pies after a Christmas Concert. They were all so goofy!! It really was a good thing they put us in the back room!!!!! Sweet times, I guess we will never have friends like that again. Did we know how lucky we were? How good life was? A little house, full of kids running in and out, no money but big laughs. Great husbands, great families, Wonderful friends! I love you, Shelly. See you later, Alex

J--your duet with Madisyn was wonderfully touching and sweet. Thank you for showing your true self, once again, and pulling through for another loved one! YOU ARE THE BEST! It was especially fun to be on Temple Square for such a special day. Thanks for inviting us to share in your family fun! We love you and pray for you ALL unceasingly. Leslie

Hello to both of you! I just came from a crazy get-together with Vicki Christian and Sharon Eddings while we decorated for Madi's birthday party. What a beautiful mess we made! There are lots of pink, purple and white crepe paper streamers and balloons, purple table cloth with color coordinated plates, cups, napkins and centerpieces of pink and purple. There's confetti sprinkled liberally and strips of streamers cascading from the ceiling. The BEST was the confetti streamers hooked to the ceiling fan with stars taped on. When the fan is on it looks like a Maypole being wrapped or like a baby's overhead mobile turning.

Madisyn was very gracious when I took her gift over just before they went bowling. Dave and I got her a journal with Jesus and a child on it, a CTR necklace with 2 purple (!) beads ;-), and a couple of other little doodahs and gum. Mary got her some little girl makeup and fingernail polishes. Mary and Courtney are in charge of games. They're going to play the candy bar game (my favorite!) and have a bubble blowing contest, among other things. Rick has things well in hand. Vicki and I are taking photos so you won't miss out on the memories.

I miss yo' faces!!! Hugs and kisses! Love, Leslie

well....... It sounds like the two of you are really not getting much of a break at all. Well, Shelly you are doing awesome never doubt yourself, and remember you have the Lord right there at your side. He will give you a great big nudge if you are about to do something wrong. But, that will not happen so, keep up your nursing skills you are doing great. What day is Nov 1st? We would love to be there for Madi!! Please let us know if we can do anything for Rick and the kids. Jourdyn, hey girl hey, Well it sounds like they are really putting you throgh it!! But, the Lord knows he made you one tough chick, and will kick butt on this whole thing. And I agree it is ok to say "THIS SUCKS" once in a while. We just want you to know how much we love you, and that you are with us every day. Remington asks about you every week and says that he never lets a day go by without having a good talk with the Lord on your behalf. Hang in there and we love you!!!

HEY! Due to me being slightly computer challenged, I was just shown how to view your web-site. What a fantastic idea! My family was in tears while reading all the journal entries. There is definately a TON of love coming at both of you, from many different directions. I envy the time you two get to spend together...not many parents get the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with their 16-year-old daughter.
I want you both to know how much I look up to you. On a daily basis, your "trials" have magically changed into strength and inspiration for myself and many others. This web page is an awesome way for both of you to draw a little strength and love from people who care.
I've got dibs on baby sitting Jourdy in the near future. Let me know when a good time would be and I'll be there.
My K-9 buddies, Rod Elmer and Neo, are being recognized at a patrol meeting on the 28th. He said to say thank you for putting in a "good word." I am also receiving a "Medal of Excellance" and would love it if Jourdy could attend....but I realize that a room filled with 650 people would expose her to many unwanted germs. Jourdy, I am receiving this medal because of you and your strength. It will be one of my most prised possessions!
Hang in there and I'll talk to you soon. Lots of love. U.K. (Uncle Kris)

You are amazing to Chad and I. Every night before we go to sleep we think of you and Jourdyn. We are learning alot from your experinces and the Love of a Mother for her Daughter. We love you both, you know that!
Talk to you later,

Hey this is a pretty special setup for a very special girl! I'll try and visit often and I'll update this site with photos and whatnot. To my daughter, I love you more than I ever thought a dad could love a young woman and to her mother Shelley, your strength, togetherness and wonderful objectiveness has and does continue to save and preserve our daughter's life. To all the physicians, nurses, techs, and family you do make a difference and thank you for all the sacrifices and strivings to know just what to do to help our Jourdy girl! Love is powerful!

Shelly, thanks for keeping me updated. I really appreciate it. I wish Jourdyn and the whole family the best. I pray for you every day. I pray that the Lord will grant Jourdyn the same blessing he gave Alma and his people (Mosiah 24:14-15), especially with all the painful treatment she endures. We all love her and want her to feel and be better soon. Love,

Thanks so much for the updates! We love and miss you guys. Give all our love to the kids and Rick.
PS I am so excited to be the first poster from "out of state". We should see if we can get someone from overseas, too. :-)

Shel, I haven't been good at all in coming to visit you and Jourdyn while you are at Primary Children's. I know you said she may be out of it a lot while she is in treatment this time, but I would love to come see you and spend some time with you. Let me know when you will be there and I will pick Mel up at her dorm and come see you. Mel and I love all of you!

Hey Shelley,

I can't think of much to say except we love you guys. Hang in there and know you are in our prayers. Give my Maddie a hug.

Shelley,
What a wonderful idea this is. Just wish she was feeling better. This has really been rough. I think of you and Jourdyn and your family daily and remember you in my prayers. Hope things turn around soon! Love you lots.

This is pretty cool. I'm back from the hills of Missouri. It was a good trip--full of reunions with relatives and friends and even a few new relationships started. The fall colors were beautiful. I had thought that Madisyn had been collecting leaves so I carefully transported several kinds that don't grow out here. Come to find out it wasn't her afterall! Now I have to figure out which kid was asking me to keep an eye out for her!

Sounds like it's been a tough couple of weeks since I left. Man! I can't leave you two alone for a minute! Take care and know we're pulling for you! Love you guys! Leslie
