Some of you may have not heard, but Jake was admitted to the hospital recently for a pretty bad infection on his right leg. We were there for 3 (very interesting and long) days. If we ever have a minute together, remind me to tell you about our oh-so-interesting hospital roomies. Can we say "Ghetto?" Anyway, his speedy healing can only be described as miraculous. Really, it was amazing. Some of you asked for pictures from the hospital, so here they are. Since Jake was in isolation, he wasn't allowed to touch anything in the pediatric unit or play with any of the toys that were in the peds playroom. Since he felt fine, this was the hardest part. He had all of his regular energy and couldn't release any of it.
Despite dirty looks from the nurses, every hour we would unplug the IV and take a couple laps around the floor. (he had to walk straight down the middle of the hall and couldn't touch the walls) This was his only physical exercise, so needless to say, both of us looked forward to this hourly ritual. He got pretty good at pushing his IV thingy down the hall. One time, before I could grab him, he took off running, pushing the IV, and jumped on the legs of the thing and went sailing down the hall. The poor maintenance man walking down the hall almost had a heart attack! Once we recovered from the shock, we laughed so hard. I shouldn't have been surprised though. . .typical Jake!
Nice healthy hospital food!

Those are the funniest pictures I have ever seen!!! I love it! My favorite is how is hair is kinda..um...fluffy?! Jake is the bomb.
Wow, that must have been very scary. I am glad everything is okay now. Jake seems like such a happy little guy even though he doesn't feel well. What a trooper.
what cute pictures, you would never guess that was a kid needing to be in the hospital! glad everything turned out okay.
That is so classic that Jake took a ride on the IV!! You should start a reality TV show called, "The Adventures of Jake". I know he could entertain America 24 hours a day. He is a funny little guy. I'm glad he is alright.
