Jake and I made it to St. Louis safely for Jake’s procedure while Dan holds down the fort back at home! To keep things low-key, we\u2019ve opted for a DoorDash dinner.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you those whose generosity allows us the ability to give Jake the comfort and control of choosing special meals during these hospital trips. It makes the time much less dreaded and gives him a little bit of joy in an otherwise stressful situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll have an early start tomorrow for his cath\/biopsy and following appointments. We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers as we head into another procedure. I will make sure to post another update as soon as we have the results from the medical team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
