Morning Update

After quite an ordeal with one of the ER resident doctors, Jacob was finally admitted early this morning (it is a very long story). He is taking ibuprofen to help keep the fever down and continues to basically be himself with some discomfort every so often.

We are waiting for the results of the tests from last night and will update everyone once we have these details.

Please pray that we will be able to find out what has been causing these fevers and treat accordingly. Please pray for Mommy as she got very little sleep last night due to the ER ordeal. We are thankful that God helped Mommy remain patient and calm, even as she and Jacob faced the aforementioned frustrations in the Emergency Room. There were a number of other individuals (nurses and doctors) from the three speciality areas that were a tremendous help, despite the challenges we had with the one ER doctor.

On the flip side, though, there are several nurses who have and continue to go above and beyond. Even when they are not at work or not immediately responsible for Jacob, they are always willing to help (texting, phone calls, you name it). We are so thankful to Kiki, Allie and Ashley for all that they have and continue to do for Jacob.
