Thereās a common misconception that hospice is only about the final days of life. The truth is, hospice is about living fully, with comfort, dignity, and supportāfor as long as life continues.
Hospice care is not āgiving up.ā
Itās choosing quality of life, expert symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and a team that shows up consistently. Hospice nurses, aides, social workers, chaplains, and physicians bring steady strength through uncertainty, setbacks, and unexpected turns.
And yesāsometimes that journey includes re-transplantation. Hospice stamina shows up in:
ā¢ Walking alongside patients through hope and uncertainty
ā¢ Supporting families through difficult conversations
ā¢ Providing comfort that allows patients to stay focused on healing possibilities
ā¢ Remaining present even when the outcome is unknown
Thereās a belief that hospice means the end. For Jordan, hospice has meant support while still fighting. It has meant comfort on the hardest days, symptom relief when his body is exhausted, and a team helping him preserve strength while preparing for the possibility of a second heart transplant.
A reāheart transplant isnāt just medicalāitās emotional, physical, and relentless. It comes with waiting, uncertainty, fear, and hope all at once. Hospice has walked beside Jordan and his family through every stageāmanaging pain, breathlessness, anxiety, and the emotional weight no teenager should have to carry.
Hospice didnāt remove hope.
It helped hold it steady.
By focusing on quality of life, hospice allowed Jordan to conserve energy, stay as strong as possible, and face each day with dignityāwhether that day brought setbacks or the possibility of a second chance at life.
Jordanās journey reminds us that hospice is more than end-of-life care.
It is care during the fight.
Care during the waiting.
Care when the path is uncertain and the stakes are everything.
At just 17 years old, Jordan shows us what resilience looks likeāand how hospice stands strong beside patients and families, no matter how complex the journey.
Jordan is only 17. An age meant for school milestones, plans for the future, and discovering who you are becomingānot facing the reality of needing another heart transplant. Yet Jordan carries a strength far beyond his years.
It gives hope that everything Jordan needs is cover 100% under hospice. If you have the chance to get hospice, do your OWN research and education on what hospice brings to the table, not just cause of the stamina if its name.
As we enter 2026, we choose to trust Him completely:
āFor I know the plans I have for you,ā declares the Lordā¦ āplans to give you hope and a future.ā (Jeremiah 29:11)
Praying for healing, peace, strength, and miraclesāfor Jordan, for every family walking a similar road, and for the hospice teams who serve with love and purpose.
2026, Iām coming in with faith.
My son will receive his second heart transplant.
I am claiming healing, strength, and life.
I am declaring that all my children will be healthy.
Weāve seen God move before, and Heās not done with our story.
Fear didnāt win. Faith did. šš½āØ
ā Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past,See I am doing new thingsā-Isaiah 43:18-19
To all our family & friends; Happy New Year!
Welcome, 2026. We trust You, Lord. šāØ
