The doctors have indicated that Jacob may be released from the hospital as early as this Tuesday (the 19th). His lower legs will remain wrapped and he will keep both the stint and SP tube in for at least another three weeks or so. At that time, he will be evaluated to see if his bladder is still draining through his urethra. If it is, they may remove the stint and "cap off" the SP tube for another few weeks, with the hope that he can eventually have the SP tube removed entirely (this is definitely one of our biggest prayers, too).
He continues to eat well - he even took down some mac and cheese today and a little bit of a hospital hamburger (you know, the good kind). Praise the Lord for these improvements.
The rash on his back is still an area of concern, but we pray this will be able to clear up over the next few days (especially once he is able to leave the hospital).
Daddy BA is back in Chattanooga with James and glad to be home with him, but he definitely misses Mommy and Jacob.
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound.
Mommy and Daddy
