Wedneday 8:00am
Jack rested comfortably throughout the night and is still on morphine, so he remains quite sleepy and groggy most of the time. When he does open his eyes, he continues to be able to talk and move his legs and arms – this is SO exciting and the doctors are very pleased with this too! Yesterday he developed a post-op fever, but it has now resolved. We were also told yesterday afternoon by the Infectious Disease team that a growth developed on a patch in Jack’s brain in between Jack’s surgeries. This is not concerning to Jack’s team, as the patch has now been removed, but will require a longer IV treatment of antibiotics for Jack.
Today’s picture shows Jack and I hanging out in his bed. His room is so cheery and he has over 100 cards posted around his room! Thank you again to everyone for your amazing support!
Jack is awake now and has just requested that I put on the TV, so I must run!
Please keep praying for Jack to recover without a lot of pain and that he will soon be strong enough to start rehabilitation.

Hi Jack, you just keep on surprising us with how brave and special you are – must be because you’ve got special parents and wee brother. You are such a blessing to us all, and we thank God for you – have you had your ice-cream yet? 🙂 Don’t forget to ask for chocolate! 🙂
Yours in Christ,
Rev. Mike

We pray that your recovery continues and that God will use you to touch many more lives. Thanks for touching ours.

Hi Jack & Family,
You don’t know me but we sent Jack a hockey card to 5C and are big fans of Jack and his annual lemonade stand. I keep up to date with your blog every day and am constantly thinking of you all. I am literally moved to tears of joy reading that Jack is comfortable today, recovering well and talking. Imagine him hugging you with the right arm that could have been affected by the surgeries. I can’t wait to hear that Jack is playing his DS again!
Warmest thoughts for you all.
Diane & Kevin, Owen & Rachel (Oakville)
Hi Jodie and family!
Its a highlight of my day to read your blogs. It is such encouraging news and I continue to pray for peace, strength and healing for all of you. At such a challenging time may you always feel Gods presence. Dave was so brave and spoke so wonderfully at church on Sunday. Thank you for sharing your journey with me!

Sick kids is such a community and I am glad I met you today at Starbucks. We brought our son Declan home today and praying that the time will pass quickly until the day you get to bring Jack home too! Jack is in our prayers as he recovers and forges ahead with all that life has for him!! I’ve marked the next lemonade stand date on our calendar! 🙂
