Step by step
Today is day 30 post transplant, and Jacob is making steady (if slow) progress. He's getting out to the park everyday. Today we played an exciting game of croquet with Ellie and Alex, and a few days ago, he and Ellie walked our dog, Sparky, along with cousins Kara and Zena and their dogs. I wonder if Ellie has pictures? Thanks again to Demian and Lorraine who have been watching Sparky for weeks, and to Patty who is taking Sparky for a little vacation next week.
He's also begun eating a little, and they were able to decrease his IV nutrition a bit. The goal is to get him eating enough by the end of the week that we can get him off it altogether.
Thanks to Aunt Susan's manager Theresa who sent Jacob a wonderful surprise gift. He got a new video game, Jade Empire, with it that riveted him for hours. Thank you Theresa! It feels great to know you are out there rooting for Jacob.
