Jack is not doing that well at this time. He had a 24 hour stomach bug. This can be very dangerous for Jack. We are suppose to take him right to the hospital for hydration when this occurs. I waited longer then I should have but didn't want to put Jack through that unless totally necessary. Thank God Jack did OK. He is a little week and pail but doing much better.

We went to see Jacks specialist here a few weeks ago. Jack is having some of his issues heighten at this time. Due to his unusual weight gain and constant appetite and craving for water, they are having us test his sugar. They don't think he diabetic necessarily but that his sugar could be off due to his disease. We have been testing him for a few weeks now. He is having high levels here and there. We are to monitor him till his next appointment and they will go from there. Jack is doing well with the multiple daily finger pricks. They messed with his medications and is now on 4 liquids a day, 5 pills, and 2 inhalers and his nebulizer if needed. Jack as always is a trooper and does well taking his medication. He does get sick of it when it interrupts things he is doing. He has to take some of these medications three times a day. Jack has been complaining of leg pain a lot lately and his tremors and fatigue are up.

Jack is very excited about Christmas. He loves snow and gets very happy when he sees it on the ground. He cant wait till there is enough to go play in. He is also very excited to show people his new book. He doesn't get it but got to see one of the love for Jack cookbooks. The cookbook came out very nice . We appreciate Michelle so much for heading this up and putting it together. We are very thankful to those of you who are purchasing them and or trying to sell them.
