Jake was able to stand up today. After standing for a short time his grandparents asked him to sit down in a chair and he did. While Jake was sitting Ant offered him some advice on how to sit up in the chair and Jake responded with a raised eyebrow. Although Jake is not making direct eye contact, it must have been quite a look because it made both Ant and her parents crack up.

So Jake's new room is considerably smaller and the staff still recommends only family members visit Jake. However if you stop by the hospital to encourage the family you can go to the nurse's desk and have them contact Ant and she will be happy to visit with you.

As always your continued prayers and support is much appreciated.
