We had a great family day today with Jake Junior. We were able to take the girls to see him this morning and they loved it. The girls had their faces smashed against the window so they could see every bit of Baby Jacob. The girls sang to him some songs that they thought he would love, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Baby Beluga, and Baby Bumblebee.
Later in the day, we went back up to spend the evening with Baby Jacob. We had some very neat moments with him tonight. Jake got to change Jr.'s diaper today and hold his son's hand for the first time. Then, the nurse had to weigh him and change his bedding. Jeanne was able to hold her baby a few times, albeit inside of the isolet. Such a special moment. When it was time to change the bedding, Jake got to hold Jr. as well. We were both ecstatic that we finally got to hold Junior after one week. We are not sure when we will get to hold him again, so we enjoyed every second.
We didn't get any results back yet from the infection tests, but the doctor is worried he might have meningitis and has already started antibiotics to treat it. That has given us a lot of concern today. We are also very concerned about the head ultrasound he has scheduled for tomorrow to see if he has bleeding on his brain. We are praying for good results and that his antibiotics will be effective. Thank you all for your continued love, support, and prayers. We have felt so loved and are grateful for such good friends and family.
