Jacob


What a tough year this has been for Jacob. From the staph infection that led to him being admitted to the hospital and now his back. We went to Legoland (will post pics when I have a chance) on Friday and he seemed okay a little sore but thought it was from the drive and all the running around. Yesterday he set up some storage cabinets and his back seemed to be getting worse. He took a bath and a pain pill and thought he would feel better today. He decided to go to the gym this morning and ended up being carried out by a trainer and his Dad after laying on the weight bench for fifteen minutes basically paralyzed from pain. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even walk and getting him in the house took a lot of effort. He is now napping on the floor with heat pads and ice packs and some pain meds until we go to the doctor at one. He also has another doctors appointment tomorrow at 9 for his back. It is so hard to see my strong, athletic Husband be in so much pain. We will get through this but please keep him in your prayers

Oh my goodness! It sounds like Mom's back pain. I hope he doesn't have what she has. Although I seem to remember Jacob having issues in his knees and ankles?? He may need some modified version of his workouts. Will pray for him and hope that he feels better soon. Thank God for health insurance.

I think a nice relaxing trip to Idaho is just what Jacob needs! See you soon!
