Radio Lollipop
Emma 
was able to spend the weekend with us. These visits always help Jake cope so much better. As he began to feel better – there was fun to be had! Some video games, movies and race cars. A few posts ago, I mentioned Radio Lollipop. This is the radio station for the hospital, it’s an actual studio where the kids can go up and get on air, the ones that are bed-ridden can call in and request songs, tell jokes, talk to the DJ, and win prizes. Lucky for Emma, she happened to have the song that she and Kate recorded with her and headed upstairs to be “on air” Take a look at her in the booth! It was quite exciting to hear her as Jake and I sat in his hospital room while she went up and did her thing. And to move on to a totally different subject… I also had a bit of an awakening early one morning. Jake’s had a lot of straggly hairs that just 
wouldn’t let go. In fact, several people have mentioned that I could shave him, that’s what they did with their kids. But he didn’t want that. As I laid in bed with him, I realized that there aren’t many stragglers left. He’s almost perfectly bald… and he’s just beautiful. I’ve been kissing and kissing on him more than usual, which I love because I can’t really kiss his sweet face anymore. One of the hardest things for the mother of a child with cancer to be told is that she can’t kiss her child’s precious face. For fear of germs and bacteria, it’s something that we are constantly reminded not to do. It’s not that I don’t kiss on him much right now, I’m just very, very aware o
f where, it’s rarely quick and spontaneous. But what I realized in that quiet, dark, still morning is that it feels so good kisings all over his big, sweet, bald head anytime I want! And to move on yet again… one of my best freinds, Michelle, has been traveling the road of adoption this past year. I’ve asked many of you to pray for their family’s journey and want share the best news… Michelle and Jimmy traveled to Bulgaria to pick up their baby girl this week and yesterday, Gracie was rescued, she is no longer an orphan. I am so beyond happy for them… thank you friends for praying with me and following their journey. Michelle blogged this scripture and I just have to finish with it… John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
