\"2013-03-07<\/a>We spent the day at TCH Thursday and indeed Jake needed transfusions. It was a rough day for him as he just wasn’t ready to be accessed again. It was less than 48 hours that he had been de-accessed so it was just too much for him to handle this soon. They finally came to the conclusion that he needs a little something in the future to mellow him with his chest port access, as they are getting more and more traumatic for him. He’s actually getting really good at the blood draws from his arm as the picture shows but port access is another story. For now, we are home until Tuesday when we go in for transfusions again and we’ll try a little ativan to see if that helps. Cameron came to help and hang out with us and they were able to participate in making their own hand sculptures. The hands will be painted by artists at some point, put on dispaly, and then they will be part of the auction in \"2013-03-07<\/a>September that benefits Texas Children’s Hosptial. The boys really enjoyed it and the artist’s involved were so good with all of the kids. Thursday night was the Bake 4 Jake sale and it was such a wonderful night! We are so, so thankful for everyone who participated. I have a few thank you’s… thank you Trinity Lutheran Church and John Wesley Methodist for being such a huge part of this. A big thanks to Kathy, Adriene, Sarah and Tracy for working the sale. And thank you to the sweetest, most giving, ladies in the whole world, Sarah, Debbie and Tracy for spending the last few weeks putting this wh\"2013-03-07<\/a>ole thing together. They worked so hard and it showed. It was a so nice to see so many friends and hear so many encouraging words. And look at the poster behind us… Tracy’s art skills came in handy! Jake has been invited to participate in a photo shoot next Saturday with some of his TCH buddies to help with the petition and push for the NFL\/MLB Wear GOLD In September \"2013-03-07<\/a>For Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We are taking the poster and hope to use it for him to sit on during his individual shot. We’ll let ya know how it all works out. On Friday Jake’s energy was up a bit so we made a quick, masked visit to his preschool. This is the second time we’ve been able to do this… his class has been working on habitats and we are so thankful that they continue to include him. This was something that he could definitely do from home and we did! And, of course it was a dinosaur habitat… what else??? We stayed just long enough to drop it off and snap a few photos. Now it’s on display with all the others from his class. He was so happy and as we were leaving, wal\"2013-03-08<\/a>king down the hall, he said, \u201cMomma, I really miss this place. I wish I could be here everyday.\u201d For him, it was just an off-the-cuff, little boy, truth. For me, a little something different. I pray every day that he will return to school and these quick and special visits give such a lift in knowing that one day soon, preschool will be part of the daily routine again. For now, we take it day by day and live <\/p>\n
