Consolidation Day 8: Lumbar Puncture

Jace received his Lumbar Puncture at Madison Memorial today, and it was beautiful not to have to drive to Salt Lake. We love Primary Children's Hospital, but we also love our local doctor and hospital- so today we were blessed to be able to stay here.

Jace was pretty mellow going into the procedure, and we learned it was because his numbers are a bit lower than last week. He's ok though. About the day he said, "That was no fun. It wasn't fun being put to sleep. It wasn't fun feeling weird, and it wasn't VERY fun waking up." That's the extent of his complaining. He's also been sick to his stomach all day, but he doesn’t complain about that. He just doesn’t eat much. Ice chips have been the food of the day.
It amazes me how much he endures and acts like it’s every day stuff. The lesson I’ve learned from our Iron Man today is the art of not complaining. So far today, he hasn’t spiked a fever either. Thank you all for your continued prayers. We are hearing stories of how Jace has started to be a routine name in family prayers in many homes of our friends, family, and blog readers.:) Thank you. We feel the strength of your prayers, and we appreciate your love.








When the nurse asked Jace if he wanted a wheelchair to leave, he declined and said, "I can walk today."
