After visiting Jacob last night and seeing that he is comfortable has begun to bring me out of my funk. I think I was actually becoming clinically depressed. Having Jacob fall asleep in my arms has reaffirmed my feelings of love and joy for him. I want no more than to hold him in my arms. The plan now is that he will be discharged on Friday and be transferred to St. Mary's Children's Hospital in Queens for intense physical and occupational therapy. I now feel less dread for his long and hard road to recovery. There are many cases such as shaken-baby-syndrome that have had positive outcomes with more serious brain damage. He will still have disabilities but we shall overcome them as a family. Jacob has a strong support staff that includes family, friends and his father's lodge Brothers. He will survive and he will thrive.
