They're Here

Daddy and James arrived last night around 9:00p.m. It was so great to see them and to see James love on Jacob. There was a bunch of hugs and kisses. James didn't want to let go of Jacob he wanted to climb up in the wagon with him and not get out. Speaking of wagon, Jacob has to be wrapped for 4 weeks and no higher than 45 degree angle so this is the only real means of transportation for him.

Yesterday was very busy for Jacob and mommy. We were discharged early in the morning, but didn't leave the hospital until around 11:00 am.

James is having a great time playing at The Children's House with some children that are about his age. Jacob will ride in his wagon for awhile, then go back to his bed to watch his "God Made ..." videos. He will literally start up three of four videos at once (between the TV,computer, Portable DVD player (thanks Grammy and Papa A) and Daddy's phone). He seems to be handling the wrap fairly well, without too many complaints. The Lord has been so gracious to Jacob because he really is (generally) pretty cheerful most of the time, which is amazing considering all that has taken place recently.

Jacob has a follow-up visit with Dr. Gearhart tomorrow afternoon at 3 pm. We are praying that they might allow him to ride in a car seat (so we can all get out a bit).

James has his appointment with the eye doctor on Tuesday at 2:30. Please pray that we might learn more about what has been causing the sensitivity in his eyes.

Daddy will be attempting to work remotely this week - please pray that he will be able to get some things done and that the technology will work as "advertised."

Gran and Papa will be traveling down here on Wednesday of this week and plan to stay until Saturday. Please pray for safety in travel for them as they drive from Knoxville. James and Daddy will probably stay until Saturday as well.

With James missing school this week, it is important that we practice his spelling words and work on his "100th day" project. Please pray that we will be able to accomplish these things this week and balance it with visits to the doctor, time spent with family and daddy's work needs.

"Lord of lords, How Majestic is Your Name in all the earth."
