Well, we made it.
A little later in the day than what we were hoping, but we made it.
The Dr. gave us the thumbs-up on going home tonight. After a family discussion between Jake, Tanya, and I we decided the best place to be was at home. Tanya and I were a little nervous about what to expect when we got home. Jake came in, grabbed a snack, and took his place on the couch. After a snack, we had to do some oral care before bed. It was at that moment that I knew we had definitely made the right decision. For the last 5 days, while in the hospital, Jake has had to pee in a container so that they could test his urine. Tanya and I held this container for him each of these days. After his oral care tonight, he asked me to step out of the bathroom and give him some privacy while he peed.
Welcome Home Jacob!!!!
p.s. Mark and Daisha, that roast ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!

Carlsons,
Welcome Home! May God provide healing and rest for the tired.
His mercies and grace begin afresh each day (Lam 3:23). We'll be praying for you all at Royal Rangers tonight.

Carlson family - you are dearly loved! Elisa from ECC sent out a prayer alert to lots of your Minnesota friends last week, and we continue to pray for you all. Praise God that we serve a God of healing, restoration, strength, mercy and peace. We continue to pray all of these things for you.
May faith rise up in your souls and may comfort from the greatest Comforter ever overwhelm you with His love and grace today.
God is on your side, and so are we!

Jake - I was very excited to hear that you were able to go home! I know that it'll be so much better to be able to be around all of your own toys and books and stuff, and especially good to sleep in your own bed.
Brian & Tanya - even though you have a sense of nervousness about doing this without nurses right outside the door, you will do great! The Lord will be with you, guiding you every step of the way!
Josh - I bet you are very glad to have Jake and Mom and Dad all together at home finally. You are an awesome brother, and I know that you will do a terrific job at helping out and making sure Jake keeps getting better!
Love you bunches~

I'm so happy to see Jake is home! I pray the night went well for all of you. I am so thankful for the "Carlson Chronicle". This helps so much in knowing how to pray for you each day.
In my prayers,
