Plans for "Welcome Home Jordyn!"

.
.
First thank you all for continually checking in. As of right now all indications are that Jordyn will arrive home on Saturday, November 7 at around noon. Please understand that there is a chance that this time and day could change and you should check back here often, right up until Saturday to confirm. That being said, here are some details:

First and foremost, our common goal here is to welcome Jordyn to her own home in a BIG way. Please understand this is a total grassroots effort, on behalf of Jordyn's friends and family and strangers who have followed her story through the years. We have tried to make arrangements for some parking and we will make every effort to pass on information via this website that we can, but the main point here is to **Get yourself to Jordyn's home so you are there when she arrives**.

Some basics:

- The address of Jordyn's house is 342 South Road in Brentwood, NH.

- Please find a place to park (see below for recommendations) and walk to the house.

- All welcomers may stand on the lawn, the sides of the driveway, etc.

- There will be an area that is "off limits" near the house where Jordyn will get out of the limo. We must ask that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE approach Jordyn. She is off limits to everyone, including family. Of course we wish it was not that way, but her immune system is so vulnerable at this time we can not risk it.

- We are hoping that Jordyn will get out of the limo, go into the house and then come out onto the porch and give us a wave. Cheer for her! Treat her like the princess that she is!

Many, MANY people are asking what they can do to help. Here are a few things that you can do:

1- Make and bring a sign! Write something nice on it, paint a picture, make a big heart, bring a balloon, ANYTHING so that you brighten the festivities and put a smile on Jordyn's face. Let her know you love her!

2- Smile and cheer for her and wave as she goes by.

3- Plan to be there early and CARPOOL. We think there will be lots of people so plan accordingly. Again, we are doing the best with what we have in terms of parking, etc so just do your best to get yourself to the house on time. You may have to sit around and wait for a while, but do it for Jordyn. She is worth it!

4- If you've bought Hope for Jordyn wristbands, wear them! Hold them high when she drives by!

5- There will be a book on a table to sign your name or write a brief message to Jordyn. Find it and sign it.

The general idea here is for us all to create a feeling of love and warmth for Jordyn as she arrives home. She wants to be at home so badly. Let's give her a welcoming that will lift her spirits with love.

Some other items-

There are some common themes in emails I am getting so I want to address them here:

Baking- People have asked if they can bake goodies for the welcomers. That would be fine! We'll try to put out a table and you can put them on the table or pass them out however you wish. Please don't bring anything that would create a lot of trash (nothing that requires utensils, plates, etc). This will not be a long event, once Jordyn is home and we have welcomed her we should let the family be alone and allow Jordyn to get settled back into her house with her family. However, there may be some waiting beforehand so if you plan to arrive early feel free to bring snacks. :-)

Gifts/Cards: Lots of people want to give Jordyn and Taylor gifts or cards. Anything for Jordyn must be new, in a sealed package and easily cleanable in order to prevent infection. We will put a table out with a basket for cards for those of you that bring something. Truthfully though, the most important thing to bring is yourself. Your presence to make this a warm welcome for Jordyn means so much.

Parking:
- There is a garden center on at the corner of Route 125 and South Road that has kindly agreed to let people park there. It is called Granite Creek Farms and the address is 316 South Road. It is a .2 mile walk to Jordyn's house.

- If you come via route 125, turn onto South Road and drive by Jordyn's house, there is a street on the right called Diane McCain Drive where you could park on the side of the street.

- If those places are full, do your best to find a spot to park and get to Jordyn's house!

Thanks so much to everyone. Please spread the word. Email me (Robin, Jordyn's Aunt) if you have any questions.
