Day 8

Wednesday March 18, 2009

Sleep. That's what Jake needs. Last night my brother spent the night, and the nurses said they haven't seen him get that much continuous sleep. Jake got about 14 hours of sleep which is great. I got a text message during the school day from Jake, saying call me asap. He wanted to talk to me since I hadn't seen him for a day, and he was in so much pain. I felt so bad since I had to call it a short conversation because of school. As I sit here typing, Jake is peacefully sleeping. Not knowing I am here I just sit, and clean his room. My brother, Jon, was able to bring him a new computer game for his laptop. I was also able to bring him new shorts and a new xbox game. Morphine is no longer being the medicine to cure his pain. He is now on Fentanyl. I talked to Jim, his dad, on the phone today and he said that it seems to be working better which is great. Today they put in a bed extender for the tiny bed he sleeps in. Hopefull that will make Jake a little more comfortable. Alissa is going to spend the night again with Jake. I was so thrilled to be able to be here tonight; even though it was just for a couple of hours. As we go on, we hold on strong, and pray until the end. Sleep tight and sweet dreams Jacob!
