Jacob has been feeling under the weather and recent bloodwork had shown some sort of virus in his body. Out of an abundance of caution the doctors recommended that he admitted into the hospital overnight for medicine and monitoring. So Friday night Ali and Jakey headed back to CHOP, and spent the next day and half there – receiving massive antivirals. According to mom “they think it’s a combo of virus and adrenal insufficiency from weaning the steroids.” The meds made him super pukey but he was able to go back to the comfort of their Philly home on Sunday.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Happy Birthday to this AWESOME Mom<\/span>, Wife<\/span>, Friend<\/span>, Room Mom<\/span>, Soccer Mom<\/span>, Temple helper<\/span>, Scout Mom<\/span>, Advocate<\/span>, the list goes on and on, Caring<\/span>, Vibrant<\/span> lady! Postponing much of the celebration to Sunday, Dave presented Ali with this Gluten-Free, Vegan, Nut Free, Soy Free Chocolate Cake that everyone could enjoy while spending the afternoon relaxing! (It looks delicious!)  <\/span><\/p>\n
