A little more info and additional prayer request

Jacob's fever has come down a little, for which we are thankful. We spoke with the Urology Department and they have advised that they can actually come see Jacob early in the AM if the fever persists (they make rounds beginning at around 5 am). This will certainly be much preferred, if needed, over having to go the ER.

Also, please pray that Jacob's stitches will not come loose or become infected. Along with the fever this evening, we've noticed some redness near the top of the incision. Jacob's legs have to remain wrapped, but sometimes he has other plans and tries to wiggle out of it.

Prayer request and one praise

Please pray for Jacob as he has once again spiked a fever (a little over 101). We have given him Tylenol to try and bring it down. The doctors and nurses have advised that if it goes above 102 that we should take him to the ER. What's really crazy about this particular fever is that Jacob is not acting sick. Part of that may have to do with the paid meds he takes. Whatever the case, we are thankful to serve an all knowing God who works through all of these seemingly crazy and challenging situations to accomplish His good purposes.

One note of praise - Jacob's "movements" have begun in earnest now (he is passing stool). Thank you for your prayers.

God of Wonder, You are Holy.

Checking out - update and prayer request

Jacob has just now been released from the hospital (Praise the Lord). He and Mommy CA will be heading back to the Children's House here shortly (they've just picked up Jacob's prescriptions).

The next scheduled follow-up will be with Urology this coming Monday (Dr. Gearhart).

Jacob does, however, have a low grade fever and appears to be a little bit flushed. We are, of course, concerned about the possibility of infections and/or illness. Please pray that the Lord will keep he and Mommy healthy and that Jacob will not develop any infections.

Please continue to pray that the Lord will grant us wisdom in making the various arrangments (travel, school, work, etc). At this point, Daddy BA and James may travel to Baltimore this weekend so James can visit with his brother and Mommy (as well as cousins Ronnie and Joshua) and also go to his dr appointment on Tuesday. These plans are still tentative at this point, although Daddy does hope to go up one way or the other.

One interesting thing that we forgot to mention yesterday - Dr. Sponseller, Jacob's orthopedic surgeon, stopped by to check him out. In the process, he actually got Jacob to give him a "high-five." This was pretty big deal for Jacob since he (for obvious reasons) tends to shy away from almost anyone wearing a lab coat or scrubbs.

He leads us by His own Hand.
