Thankful for the little things!

We are so thankful for Jake's progress since we've been home. We have had much time to rest after 15 days at TCH and Jake is recovering beautifully. He went back to school today - only for a half-day,  a little thing, but no less another answer to pray.  He did great, but was really tired all afternoon and of course took a nap.

The Home Health Care nurse came today to change his dressing and give us our last week of IV antibiotics (hopefully). God has truly put incredible people in our path throughout this journey. What a blessing it has been to meet such special people in the medical field. I truly believe chosen by God to care for others. What a gift!

Last week Jake's "Super Sixth" period class came to the house. It was so awesome to see him with his class and precious Mrs. McGowan. I love her and am endeared to her for that random act of kindness. They brought pizza, gifts and even wrote him a poem entitled, "Jake the Great." It went like this:

Jake, we are writing to you when times could be better

But we're here to bring you a little sunshine by writing this letter.

You better heal up, get better or bust

We brought you a tasty gift, with cheese and pepperoni, thin and thick crust.

We just want you to know that you are missed and loved

We brought you food, a card, and balloons, but best of all big bear hugs.

So get well soon, without you it's hard to start

Our love for you runs from our veins directly to our heart.

So come back to us lickity split,

The Lord loves you and without you we aren't Super Sixth.

Isn't that WONDERFUL?

Thank you Super Sixth, ya'll are the best. You can come over and hang out here anytime!

Jake will finish school this week with half days and then prayerfully start full time next week.

He has a check up tomorrow with the cardiologist. Please pray specifically for the right ventricle function and that this would be the last week of the IV. He is so ready to get that thing out of his arm!

BLESSINGS!
