Sunday Update

The ups and downs continue. We were VERY concerned around lunchtime when Jacob checked in with a temperature of nearly 104 degrees.

I immediately called the doctor's office. Turns out I had not been giving him enough Tylenol. We now have him on an increased dosage and he has responded well to it. He's currently playing with his toys and has been happy over the last couple of hours.

We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 10:30. Suzanne is worried it's some form of the flu. I am convinced that it's not the flu. I hope I am right because I'm really going to feel bad if I'm wrong.

Jacob just ate a piece of bread. He's eating, just in smaller doses than normal. Fever and congestion are the worries of the moment.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers as we go through the first of many of these trials!

Jacob,it was so good to "talk" to you a few minutes ago.It sounds like you may be making a slight recovery,so Bebe will pray that by tomorrow when you go to the doctor she will say you are definitely better.
You must get well for your first airplane ride.We wish you were coming to Grenada with your daddy,but you will have SO much fun with your cousins in Calif.
love and more love,
Bebe

I'm glad the tylenol brought it down. Poor baby.
