Wednesday's update - yoga, bingo, scrambled eggs and more



Jacob had a very good day - lots of action and never a dull moment. If things go well, he may be released from the hospital as soon as tomorrow.  Here are a bunch more pictures to give you a visual of all of the day's events.


First "real" food in about a week - a little scrambled egg action


Kiki drops by - even though Jacob no longer is able to stay on the floor where she works, we still love when she comes by for a visit.






Dr G stepped out of the OR for a few and stopped by to visit.  Jacob is here with Sophie, who had the same surgery as Jacob just a couple of days before him.




How about a little bingo in bed?



Dr. Dicarlo, a member of Dr G's ped urology team, also stepped out of the OR for a few to check on Jacob.  He provided her with the complete Angry Birds story.




How about a little yoga?  Jacob changed up his pain meds and seems to feel more like moving and shaking now.



To help Jacob gets his lungs back up to speed, the nurses had Jim blow on this glove.  Jacob seized the moment and decided that this was his very own miniature inflatable.  Watch as it slowly inflates, just like Frosty and the Turkey.  





Love having clean teeth.  



Capping off the continence stoma with nurse Laura - preparing for the next phase in recovery and moving closer to eventually using the catheter only.


Thank you for your prayers.  As you pray, we ask that you also remember to thank Him for his grace and mercy - new every morning.
