Just wanted to let everyone know that Brian and JT made it safely to Cincinnati last night.  It was a long night in the ER and then they finally got admitted to the BMT unit about 6am.  They drew all kinds of blood and did a chest x-ray, which came back clear.  Jacob had a fever through the night but is fever free this morning.  He's been sleeping ever since they got to the room.  His heart rate has been elevated, reflecting infection and his white blood cell count jumped from 3.5 last Thursday to 13.5 yesterday, which also reflects that he is fighting some type of infection.  We're not sure yet if it is bacterial or viral.  If it is viral it will take him a lot longer than a child with a working immune system to kick it.  Either way, Jacob is stable - not requiring oxygen- and for that we are thankful.  When I spoke with Brian the doctors had not yet rounded on Jacob so we don't know the plan yet.  Otherwise, Justice and I will be heading out soon.  I'll drop him off at my dad and charlene's house and then head to Cincy to relieve Brian so he can go to school tomorrow.  He'll stop and pick up Justy on his way back home so he can have a more normal week at home and go to preschool.

This is the second time in a month that Jacob's had to be hospitalized and I'm wondering what the docs will say about him still attending preschool.  It's been so good for him socially that it will really bum me out if he can't go.  Not to mention, the boys will both be crushed because they really love school.  If Jacob can't go that most likely will mean that Justice can't go either.  We'll see.

Thanks for all the prayers.
