Morning Update

Jacob had a very good night of sleep without too many issues. This morning, however, he does have a fever of around 100 that they are treating along with a bed rash on his back. He certainly seems to be feeling better as a whole and the talkative little boy we know and love seems to be "coming back." As an example, Jacob first asked me this morning where his "poo-poo" bag was at (His stoma hasn't totally "awakened" from the surgery so they have not a put a colostomy bag back on, yet). I told him that he didn't need one, quite yet, but will probably need one soon. When the nurse came in a little later, he then proceeded to ask her the same question. This is definitely a good thing because he really didn't pay much attention to these things yesterday. He also asks every person that comes in, "What are you going to do?"

Members of each of the medical teams came by to see Jacob this morning - Urology, Ortho and Gen Surgery. All were pleased with his progress. Urology estimates that that he will need to have his legs wrapped for about a week. We are waiting to find out when he might be able to sit up a little.

Praise the Lord for his progress and please pray for the areas of concern noted above.

Most Blessed, Most Glorious, King of all kings - may all of the glory be His alone.
