Jacob had a good weekend. He's still "cloudy" in terms of reaction time and speech, but he's generally in good spirits. We have dialysis Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, and he has occupational and physical therapy some afternoons.
There's no question that he got taller (almost an inch and a half) while he was bedridden. Since also he lost weight during the process, he's now a very skinny guy. In addition to the balance issues caused by the brain lesions, the extra inch of leg length makes him walk awkwardly.
He's still a picky eater. It's kind of hard to meet his fickle food demands while sticking to a low sodium, low potassium, low phosphorus diet, but we're trying. Right now the occasional microwavable White Castle hamburger seems to fit the bill. A little high in sodium, but not too bad as part of a balanced diet.
This is the last week of Kindergarten. We're going to try to stop by the classroom tomorrow morning for a bit, and we hope to stop by the class year-end party on Wednesday afternoon.

Hey, Jacob. I KNEW you had grown when I saw you at your birthday party! You look just like Gianpaul's daddy when he was little with those tall and thin legs -- so cute!! Mr. Battista promises the awkward stage passes -- although his basketball buddies might say otherwise. Consider yourself a thoroughbred colt in training :-) If this is how you grow while on hospital food, I can't wait to see what happens on mommy's yummy cooking.
So glad you'll be stopping by your classroom tomorrow. What a great surprise it will be for everyone. I hope to see you on Wednesday.
Much love,
Camille
