An additional prayer and praise for today

Please pray for Jacob as he has been diagnosed with para flu. This seems to explain why he has had a lingering cough now for awhile. It is a viral infection, which basically has to run its course, so we pray that he will heal soon and that there will be no delays in his recovery.

On a separate note, there was talk that Jacob would be released from the hospital, but still have his pins and fixator in. Courtney and I were very concerned about this for a number of reasons. However, one of the pediatric doctors, who has been a tremendous advocate for us, has worked it out to where Jacob will not be released from the hospital until the pins come out. As of today, we are still looking for that to occur on 10/7. Our praise is that we did not have to have the additional "stress" of trying to care for him while these pins remained in. We certainly are eager to have him out and able to come back home to Chattanooga, but not with all of the "metal" still in.

To Him, who leads us by power,

Daddy BA
