Jacob's Journey: August 2013
http://jacobsspecialheart.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 15, 2013. Home and LOVING IT! THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE PRAYERS! As you can see, they worked. I am sorry I have not updated the blog since we have been home but we have been busy. Jake is doing AMAZING. He is pretty much back to normal. Happy, playing and pretty much pushing every limit and restriction he was sent home on lol. As soon as we got home I set up my command center. Anyone who knows me also knows that I do better when I am in control (I am a serious control freak). Diuril is no...

Jacob's Journey: October 2014
http://jacobsspecialheart.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I have updated Jake's blog. I haven't written in over a year! I apologize for the lack of updates, so much has happened over the last year. One big and exciting event was Jacob's Make-a-Wish trip! The last time I blogged Jake had just come home from having his Fontan (Last open heart surgery). I am happy to report that heart wise he has been doing great! Getting his EKG, such a big boy now. 1st day of Pre-K. I am not denying he is...

Tuesday, October 23, 2012. Hitting the Odds (again): The Factor Five Leiden Gene. When we left off I was talking about our trip to Cincinnati. Well we have actually been there again since then but I will get to that in a minute. To finish the blog post I started TWO months ago, the second day Jake had a ultrasound of his clot (Which he screamed through). Fast forward 3 weeks which also happened to be 3 weeks ago (told you I am behind on updating). Jacob has 1 Factor Five Leiden gene. My little man didn't...

Jacob's Journey: July 2013
http://jacobsspecialheart.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. She left and we went on with our day. Since they wake Jake up like that he starts out the day trusting no one. He tells anyone who steps foot in our room "Bye-Bye. See you later". He is afraid of everyone. It is pretty sad, but he is so sweet about it. Next the fellow came in. He told me the X-ray looked a lot worse (My heart sank). Think there is enough stuff in his bed lol? Lol Wait. WHAT? Within 10 minutes he started vomiting. FINALLY AN ANSWER TO HIS VOMITING. Jake ate like ...

Jacob's Journey: New Year... New Updates!
http://jacobsspecialheart.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-year-new-updates.html
Saturday, January 17, 2015. New Year. New Updates! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. The boys had a wonderful Christmas and got spoiled by Santa. Their elf (Ralphie). Came back to stay with us again and Jake LOVE it. Jake really got into the holiday spirit this year. He especially loved all of the decorations. It was so cute seeing how excited he was over Christmas. So that is great news as well. Dr Stines (Jake's local cardio). And purple fingernails are all the rage now, haven't you heard?

Jacob's Journey: September 2012
http://jacobsspecialheart.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 6, 2012. Cincinnati Appointments: Part 1. Yesterday Jake and I traveled to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. We had a ton of appointments and it was a very long exhausting two days. I have decided to break this into two blog posts because there is so much to cover. This was music to my ears because I have been concerned lately that he has been more "Blue" and had lower sats. He said his heart function was great and everything looked beautiful. YAY! 4 No concerning dysmorp...

Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Home but not so settled. We are back in West Virginia and a ton has gone on since my last post. Sorry I have not posted earlier but we have been trying to get into our routine and have had a few trips to the hospital. Jake is doing great and is loving being home. His breathing is so quiet it is kind of Eerie. Sunday night (May 6 th. Fast forward to the next morning. I woke up at about 7am. I heard the nurse say "He had a great night". I quickly told her NO, I want an attending NOW!
