Another good day with not much to report. Jalyn only ran one low-grade fever today, a great sign that we’re getting the infection under control! We got to hear her do more “whispering” than she has been doing. She counted to 10 numerous times and tried reallllly hard to say “Jacee” and “Pasyn”. She is scheduled for an MRI and CSF culture tomorrow morning. We are praying for results that show signs of improvement!

We are still in shock from all of the support so many of you showed last night at the basketball games in Forestburg, not only from our own community but those from JVC as well. THANK YOU ALL!! We appreciate all of your continued love, prayers, and support!
