My Jake

Has Jake had his surgery yet?

Haven't heard a peep from Rhonda. I'm thinking she was snowed in yesterday in MO.
Hope she didn't miss the LH musical last night.....????

Just got curious enough to call Rhonda. She was on her way back to Arkansas. The musical is the 7th, so she hasn't missed it and not only then but she will be seeing it again on the 9th with Josh!!


Jake is doing good...out of surgery. I'll let Rhonda tell details.

Oh, glad to hear that. Thanks Gin, I'll wait for Rhonda's update with everyone else

My Jake had his surgery today and came out well. He will recover in Florida till the 9th, then head back to Cuba for further recovery and light duty work detail. I appreciate your prayers on his behalf as well as prayers for the safe travels of my youngest son who drove there to be with his brother. Please continue to pray for Jake's recovery, and for his and Josh's safe travels back home on the 9th. Thank you in advance.


Rhonda

PS....Thanks Gin......and I didn't miss the play, that is tomorrow and that is why I took the window of opportunity to head back home from Missouri....they have a terrible nasty storm coming in tonight and supposed to get lots of wind blown snow coming in as well as deep freexe temps...... -20º tomorrow.......and then I get to see the play again on the 9th with my oldest, BJ...he bought the tickets for me, so he is going to go too.....can you imagine my heavy metal rocker going to see LHOTP the Musical???

Thanks for the update, Rhonda. I'm glad Jake's surgery went well. I hope he recovers quickly!

I'm glad everything went well with Jake's surgery. Let us know how Josh likes the LHOTP musical!

Glad to hear that Jake's surgery went well.

That is great to know that you made it back safely and Jake's surgery went well.

So happy to hear all went well with the surgery! I will keep Jake in my prayers for a quick recovery, and will be wishing both boys safe travels.

I'll be checking the LH Musical thread to see how you liked it! I KNOW you're going to love it!! And I'm thrilled you get to turn around and see it all over again so soon---that's exactly what I wanted to do! Trust me, you're going to want to!

And LOL, I hope Josh enjoys it! Just tell him to wear his Metallica shirt so he still feels cool. He is QUITE the son for doing this for you!

Thanks all......I chatted with Jake a bit on msn and he is doing well, no soreness or anything like that, was just glad to get food in his belly....He had't eaten since 7:00 pm on Tuesday and he was starved to death....when he was released, they went to IHop and he had breakfast....he LOVES breakfast ANY time of the day.......

And it isn't Josh going with me, it is BJ......Josh is still in Florida with Jake.... BJ bought the tickets and he is going with me....

Oops, I was thinking BJ but wrote "Josh". Hope BJ had fun!

Great to hear Jake is doing well!

I'm glad to hear Jake is doing well!

Sending prayers for an uneventful and safe trip.

Jake saw the neurologist yesterday.....hit him with a bunch of tests......they say they do not think his headaches are from any kind of tumor since he has had them for a long time. Seems he has had these headaches since he was little but never told me about them....he is my quiet and sensitive child and I was going thru my cancer and treatments at the time and I guess he didn't want to bother me with it.....Anyway, he will have an MRI on April 5 to determine for sure what the problem is.....The town they grew up in is about 8,000 people and there are a little over 6 or 7 people with brain tumors, so it is still scary to me....Please continue to pray for him....

Prayers going out for Jake, Rhonda.

Prayers going up right now. I had headaches as a kid that required medication, but I outgrew them. I hope that this will be something easily treated too.

I hope the MRI shows that all is fine. Are these migraines he's experiencing, or tension type headaches?

Will keep the prayers going up. Hope this is an easy fix.

I will say prayers for Jake, Rhonda. I have migraines but mine are from TMJ. Hope the MRI results are good and hey can give him some meds to help.

Prayers going out, Rhonda.

*sends u postive vibes*

Prayers going out for Jake.
