Update - a couple of praises and requests

We praise the Lord that Jacob is recovering well from what potentially could have been a bad bacterial infection. We were concerned that he might have to be moved out of his room and placed in "isolation" of sorts, depending on some lab results. But everything improved greatly today and all of the additional precautions that were put in place (having to wear gloves and masks in the room) were removed. Jacob has been eating well today and is particularly fond of one of his nurses, Ashley. He calls her "Shay, Shay". Please continue to pray that he will take in more fluids, though, as he still has not wanted to drink very much juice or Pediasure.

I arrived safely in Baltimore this afternoon and I appreciate all of the prayers for safe travel. I broke the trip up into two days this time and that certainly made the journey easier (but I was definitely ready to be here). Please pray for Courtney as she continues to battle a cold and cough and also a sore tooth. Pray that she will heal quickly and that the meds we've gotten for her tooth will do their thing.

To the One who leads us by His hand,

Daddy BA
