5/3 -Things are Cool

He slept well, and blood pressure, heart rate and fever seem under control. He's hungry, which is a good sign. His eyesight also seems much improved, but we'll see how the day goes. For now, things are cool.

Now for some spirituality:

BEAVIS: How come, like, some stuff sucks, but then, like, some stuff is pretty cool?
BUTT-HEAD: Uhhh, well, if nothing sucked, and everything was cool all the time, then, like, how would you know it was cool?
BEAVIS: I would know. You just said, everything would be cool.
BUTT-HEAD: NO, buttmunch. I mean like, let's say someone came up and just hit you upside the head? Well, that would be cool.
BEAVIS: No it wouldn't. That would suck.
BUTT-HEAD: Yeah.... hits Beavis repeatedly~
BEAVIS: Owww! cut it out butthole!
BUTT-HEAD: That was cool!
BEAVIS: No it wasn't. That sucked!
BUTT-HEAD: Yeah, but like, you know, after it's over, doesn't it, like, feel pretty cool?
BEAVIS: Oh yeah.
BUTT-HEAD: See, you need, like, stuff that sucks to have stuff that's cool.

Next time someone conjures up something to suck to make us remember those things that are cool, perhaps s/he/it will leave the little ones out of it. Nothing is cooler than the smile of a little one, and when they can't it REALLY sucks...

Jen and Larry:

Jake is in a kind of Six Flags Roller coaster. What it surprises us is the strenght of the little kid, is amazing, he's a warrior inside, otherwise, how would you explain that he is still among us and that he has overcome the most difficult things, most of us won't even resist in the first place.

All of us are praying for a full and complete recovery and for you to guys, so God will give you strength and faith.

Love,

Lilly & Ivan

Hi Jacob, Jen and Larry
I cannot begin to express how I feel about all that Jacob has been going through. He is constantly in my thoughts and prayers, as well as the prayers of the chain of people I have told his story to. Total strangers (to you) ask me about him every day. They are praying all over the place! Our classroom is not the same without you Jacob and you are a constant topic of conversation. I only wish I could be 1/10 as brave as you have been in the last month and I'd be set for life! What a fine example of a child you are proving to be once again, just like in the classroom. I can't wait to see you and would love to know of any special requests any of you may have. Thanks Larry for always, somehow, leaving us with a smile on our face. You and Jen are more than amazing-you are a shining example to all of us. Stay strong.
XOXOXOXOXO
Mrs. V.

Dear Silverman Family
I am happy to hear that Jacob is feeling better. I have a suggestion...ask the Dr. if you can skip out of that floor with all the yucky viruses and head home! What do you think? Maybe they can send a home visiting nurse and Jacob will be better off.Thinking of all of you,
