Saturday morning

Last night we all got more rest.  For Jacob and me it was a bit intermittent with the busyness of meds, and moving around and all that is needed through the night.  Tom went back to the Ronald McDonald House around midnight.  But we did all rest.  Thanks for your prayers.  Yesterday Jacob had a migraine-like headache.  That is mostly better today with only the most headache yucks.  That is hard on top of the rest of what he is facing.

This morning he got up and ate breakfast and got cleaned up.  We are still waiting for the team of doctors to come around.  We are not sure when that will be, but hopefully soon.

Also Chelsea and Stephanie just got here.

Thanks to my friends who sent baklava.  We haven't dug into it yet, but it won't be long... we have just about finished off Carl's famous cookies!

Today will be lots of work for Jacob.  His right lung needs to be expanded more than it is.  They moved it around quite a bit during surgery.  It's important for him to sit up, walk around if possible, and use the dreaded incentive spirometer, and work to get his stamina back.

Tom and I are okay.  We are tired but still laughing and smiling!  We look forward to seeing Jocie this evening after her nap.  She has been having a GREAT time entertaining PawPaw & NaNa!

Thanks for your prayers!

  2. YAY for sleep!! Excited that he is making forward motions... i'm sure it's hard to get those first movements going, but once he does it, it WILL be easier, and healing will come faster! Continuing to pray!! Thanks for the update!!
