Day 18-FUN

Today was a fun day. We told anyone that wanted to to come on up to see Jake. It was quiet at first and Jake was stable, but the fun began around 12pm. We started getting lots of family visitors and a few close friends as well. The visitors continued until about 11pm!! It was great! Everyone who came saw what a special spirit we had and they also loved getting pictures with Jake holding their fingers! It will be hard to figure out which finger is who's! I don't have time to post photos right now because I want to spend as much time with Jake as possible, but I wanted to let you know what great visitors we had, and I know there were lots of other people who wished they could visit but weren't able to. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow. I will post when I am able to (which will probably not be until late late tomorrow night!!)
I also wanted to give a shout out to my sisters who made sugar cookies for all of the nurses that even said "thanks" on them! They are a HUGE hit! Also, our amazing nurse, Nicole, made a blanket for Jake as well as a beautiful CD for us to listen to. I will try and post those songs. They are from the Anderson family who lost a baby that had heart complications as well.
Thanks to all!!
