Evening update - an afternoon with Gran and Papa

Jacob's Gran and Papa Frere came to sit with Jacob this afternoon. He calls them Nanna and Papa and we were glad to hear him actually say these words and "talk" a little more today. He has started to eat again and managed to take down some pears and even some meat sticks (his personal favorite). He also received his first bath today, which helped tremendously. He continues to struggle with the rashes and also the itching (likely caused by the pain meds). In addition, we still have not seen much movement in his right foot, but the doctors remain optimistic that the feeling and sensation will return in due time (or as we would say, in God's time).

With Gran and Papa here with Jacob, Courtney and I were able go spend some time with our older son, James. I played hide-and-seek with he and his younger cousin, Ronnie and we just hung out with them for the afternoon. We then brought James down to the hospital to visit his brother. Jacob was very glad to see him (he points to him and calls him "Bubba").

Have a good evening and thanks for your continued prayers.
