On the Road...On the mend

Jacob continues to improve a little with each day that passes. Thank you again for your continued prayers. He has begun eating more solid foods again and his playful personality is also coming back. The doctors have reduced his pain meds as well, another sign of gradual improvement and healing. He, Mommy and Daddy BA played ball today. Jacob would toss a small football back and forth with each of us. He definitely has a good arm (he must have gotten that from his Mommy's side of the family - we have a couple of former collegiate football players on that side of our family). Jacob is still in the Intermediate Care Unit and will probably stay there for a while longer (perhaps a week or so, but we don't know for sure at this point). The nurses are taking good care of him here and he seems to have a good time with them as well. He managed to grab a bag of baby wipes tonight and pull each one out and toss it on the floor. I guess that football we had earlier in the day was now out of reach and so the wipes were the next best thing.

Please continue to pray for our whole family. Daddy BA will be driving back to Chattanooga tomorrow (Monday), so please pray for safety while driving. Please pray for Mommy as she looks after Jacob and also tries to spend some time with James. Please pray for Melanie (Gran), Aunt Ro Ro and Uncle Ron as they help take care of James. We are so very thankful that the Lord has brought us to a town where we have family that is close by.

What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer.

Daddy BA
