Update part deux for the day

(Original appeared April 24, 2016)

Jacob was visited by a respiratory therapist who performed an interesting chest therapy in which a small vibrating pad is placed on his chest and oscillates at a high rate. It is supposed to help break up the gunk in his lungs. Apparently when he received this treatment yesterday he did not like it. So she asked if I would hold his hand this time. I jumped at the chance. He not only endured it but seemed to remain calm and comforted. Let’s just say we had a moment.

Also, I don’t want to make a habit of talking publicly about my children’s bathroom habits but I will mentioned that… his kidneys showed some evidence of regaining their function. We are very thankful for that and hope that continues and that the fluid build up will drain over night. -R
