A Quick Update

This is Jacob's Aunt RoRo (Rose, Courtney's brother Ron's wife...for those of you who don't know)...Anyway, Courtney is having technical difficulties and asked me to give a quick update.

Jacob is ok. They started the new pain medication called Fentanyl, but it is still causing itching. He also gets Oxycodone by mouth and that seems to help. He's not relying on the PCA (pain button) as much anymore. Please continue to pray for pain control and the itching because it's still a bit of a trial and error experience and he's not as comfortable as he could be. He is starting to eat a little more which is good.

The doctors were in yesterday and this morning and there are still no clear answers on a plan or what to expect. Jacob really needs movement in that foot. God says pray specifically...so here's one...PRAY JACOB CAN MOVE HIS ANKLE! As you go about your day, just keep asking God for little Jacob's foot to move.

Bryan's parents arrived safely in town yesterday, hopefully they will get some quality time with Jacob and James.

Continue to pray for Courtney and Bryan, as they are very tired and this is very stressful on them. Everyone keeps asking what they can do to help. Earnest, heartfelt prayer is the best thing right now.

We know everyone loves pictures, so here are a few from Jacob's first birthday party. He turned 20 months just the other day!
