Surgery Update #2


WOW - what an amazing God we have!!!!!

Jacob is back up in his new room now, doing better than ever. He came out of the anesthetic better than expected, and the pain is at a level that they are able to control with some meds.

Thanks to all of your emails and voice mails offering encouragement and help. We will never be able to thank you all enough.


Next steps....waiting on the biopsy results so that we can start putting together a plan for chemotherapy treatments.

Here are a couple of post-surgery pictures of Jake.

Jacob and family... Sidney and Molly are sending you prayers of a quick recovery and strength! It looks like the prayers are working. You look well Jacob! Mom and Dad (Tanya and Brian) ... You know my heart is aching for you. The amount of information is tremendous and thoughts of any kind of future are thrown to the wind. We live for each new breath our child still takes. God has a reason and a plan. He is merciful and will bring your family through this tough time. From a mother who has been there ... Please, please, please call on me to help any way possible. Sit with Josh, sit with family memebers, bring food, transport out of town family to where they need to be. Food to the hospital... WHATEVER! It is tough but with your church family and of course GOD ... we all will preserve. With love and prayers... Molly
