James and I were able to make another visit to the hospital this evening along with Hannah. I was pleased to see little Jacob sleeping peacefully, no longer making that sad singing sound that signals distress in breathing.
He has been diagnosed with meningitis from a Strep B infection and will be hospitalized for at least ten days, possibly much longer. It goes without saying that he is very sick, but we are surrounded with the prayers of friends, family, loved ones, and strangers, and God is working in our hearts and lives.
Aloha Friday.

Thank you, Patti, for you love and prayers. And the hugs too, of course. :)
DeletePoor little sweetheart! Praying right now for him...and all of you! Hope he recovers quickly!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Betsy. If you were close enough, I'd have you make Bethany a nice big gift basket.
DeleteOh Martha..How my heart hurts for you all. My prayer is that God will very soon give you a miracle and little Jacob will make a remarkable recovery. Sending love and hugs to sweet Bethany and her little family.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wanda. God is already working miracles.
DeleteI am praying too! He is in good hands! He is nice and big...his little (big) body will come out of this just fine. Hugs to Bethany, Adam, You & James & the entire family. Love you! xo Pam
ReplyDeletePam, he is in very good hands. God has him wrapped in His own. :)
DeleteWhen I saw him Tuesday night his breathing seemed good, but he didn't seem to like my touch, he wimpered a little, so I decided to keep my hands off.:(
ReplyDeleteYeah, Rach, me too.
DeleteWell, poop. That is not the news I wanted to hear.
ReplyDeleteGot a new prayer book, I had a feeling I needed something more formal. I mean I talk to God.. a lot.
But THIS needs more than "please help heal Fred and his family".
love you and yours.
Judi, I love you! It is not what we wanted either, but God is working his own miracle here, something bigger than we can see at the moment.
DeletePoor little man. Hang in there Jacob. You'll start to feel better soon. May you feel the comfort of Jesus all around you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your love and support, Mitzi. We feel the comfort of the Lord and He is good.
DeleteI am very sad for your family Martha...fingers crossed that baby Jacob is well soon...I am so grateful that Vivian is healthy...I sure don't envy you...you are a very strong person, and that will pay off in the end...
ReplyDeleteThinking of you...

Linda, this is a new experience for me. I am learning to lean on God in a whole new way.
