Praises and Birthdays

We rejoice and praise the Lord that this morning, Dr. Sponseller (Jacob's ortho surgeon), was so impressed with the progress in Jacob's right foot that he was able to adjust the fixator and re-attach the tape that runs between Jacob's leg. His exact words were something like, "He has regained movement quicker than expected." This has been our biggest concern for the past week because regaining this movement likely means that we will be able to soon schedule his next surgery and not face the possibility of a re-do.

God truly does work in mysterious and unexpected ways sometimes and we know that His timing is always right, but it was especially meaningful to us that God chose to bring Jacob to this point today, because it also happens to be his older brother James' 4th birthday. His mom and I, along with his Uncle Ron, Aunt Rose, and cousin Ronnie will be taking James to a theme park to celebrate his birthday. His Grammy and Papa A (Bryan's parents) have been here this week and have been helping us out a lot by staying with Jacob at the hospital.

So, please rejoice with us but continue to pray for Jacob and our family as we continue on this journey.

Praise be to our Lord and Saviour,

Daddy BA
