I still haven't posted all the pics from Jacob's first hospital stay. Snapped a few more. Thought you should have a glimpse of where Jacob is and where I've been for the past 24 hours.
Welcome Home! This is our shared room. Jacob is in bed 1. During our first hospital visit, Jacob was in bed 2 (until he was moved into isolation).
Jacob gets the hospital bed (obviously). The brown chair rocks and reclines slightly. I like that it's padded. Purple chair pulls out in a long narrow bed that even Jon can fit on. That doesn't make it comfortable - just long & available.
There's a little white board where the nurse on shift puts her name.
When Jacob is getting treatments, they keep stacking these little beeping boxes on top of each other. The one on top pushes meds into his line.
When Jacob is not in the playroom but is still feeling well, he likes to play his Nintendo DS or watch Nickelodeon. Notice the tray of untouched food on the table.
Jacob is much more relaxed when he is hanging out in the playroom (harder to take pictures because it's their policy that you can't include other patients in the photo). He was playing Super Mario Smash Brothers Brawl - a totally violent teenager game. He was having a great time with one of the volunteers. I think Jacob even talked to him. I'm not a fan of violent games, but he's fighting cancer. Can it really hurt for him to wiggle a remote control and fight a video game character too?

Thanks for bringing us into your "home". Hope you don't have to stay there too long though.
Jacob has the most beautiful round head. I guess there is always SOMETHING to be thankful for, especially if you have to loose your locks. We love you. Linda
