Jordan visited the Research Programme in USA for the third time last October. They recommended stapling of the knees to try and get his legs straighter, previous more radical surgeries had not worked.

Here is what Jordan wrote about his operations:

“Hello I am Jordan and I am going to tell you about the three operations that I have had in the last three months. The first one was to have staples put in my legs in my knees which was to hopefully stop them bending the wrong way. But after about 4 weeks they came out. So I had another operation to put them back in. The second operation was the worst, so much pain. But once again after 5 weeks this time they came out again. This time the pain after, was, well, there was no pain until I started to walk again it stung. The worst thing though was that I could not play football. But now after 4 months I am playing again. YEEAHH!”

During this time Jordan had a chest infection followed by a vein infection.
