Health Update!

We went to the Health Department on Wednesday morning. It was very rainy out and cold too.
We met with the TB doctor. He was very nice. He reconfirmed that Jakob is not contagious!!
He said that it is possible that Jakob does not even have TB, however at one point he was exposed to it. If he is not treated it could become serious TB when he is 2 or 3 and would then be contagious. So he is on a new prescription. They are pills that we have to give him EVERY morning for 9 MONTHS! We only have 8 Months & 29 days to go!! He really doesn't like the pill, even in applesauce. We will survive. It could be much worse. This little pill is nothing compared to what he could have come home with.

Jakob also now weighs 19 lbs and 5 oz. He has now gained about 5 lbs since we picked him up.
They say he looks great. We have to go back to the Health Department again in 30 days.

Today Jakob went for his 2nd set of shots. He did much better than the 1st time. He still cried, but not for near as long. We go back in 4 weeks for his 9 month check up. They also said he is looking great.

Considering what he has been through, he is very healthy.

He is sitting up on his own to now! Yea!!

I better run, he is sleeping, so I should be too.
Have a great night.
Thanks for all the prayers for Jakob's heath.
Lots of Love,
Mandi, Rick & Jakob
