Journal entry by Matt & Alissa Jourdan

An update on Harrison. He is doing great! Thank you all for your continued prayer! He will be starting kindergarten Monday in a dual language (Spanish) Immersion class just up the road from our house. He won’t have doctor restrictions, and he’s off all of his medications! Hallelujah! He’s also going down from 5 therapies a week to just two (one trip after school on Mondays)! All of these accomplishments just a few months after he had his accident (a truck partially ran over him) with two cardiac arrests, CPR for 16 minutes, put on ECMO for two weeks to bypass severely injured lungs (still not healed all the way- please pray for complete healing by next x-ray), life support for three weeks, rehab learning how to walk again, 53 days at Riley Children’s Hospital! Our God is amazing and I thank God often for this miracle. 
I would still love it if those that prayed for Harrison would now be praying that his lungs and donor site (for skin graft to his chest) would heal up nice and completely. 
I also could use your prayers. I had to give up what I felt like was a perfect teaching job for me (I would have started last week) due to a chemical imbalance that has made me depressed and anxious and making life difficult for me. I pray this difficult time of my life gets straightened out soon! Thank you!
