Journal Entry 5

Jacob is about two and a half now. He is still fighting strong, though we are frequently at the hospital or doctors' office. Things like his motor skills, vision, hearing, intellectual ability, and social health are starting to slow down significantly, but he is still our little Jacob.  Physical therapy and respiratory care are also things that have to be done. The physical therapy is to stimulate his muscles and joints because of their disuse. The respiratory care is to help with all of the excess mucus created in his lungs. It kills us to know that he is suffering but to know that he is still going strong gives us hope.
