The way this has unfolded, it has been just about the most awful thing I've ever read on a blog. We are happy to hear that things are looking better and we hope this trend continues towards a full and speedy recovery. Hang in there. You are clearly a source of strength for your wife and your family when they most need it.

It breaks my heart, after seeing your love and marriage renewed so recently. Be sure our prayers are with you, Ralph, Treecy, Tom, Jamie, and my own prayer network, as well as all your huge extended family in both directions. There is a storm of entreaty going to heaven. Any words you need, will come. Jake, love, I’m so very sorry you and BJ and the boys are going through this. It breaks my heart, after seeing your love and marriage renewed so recently.

I'm home by myself, but you guys are on my mind all the time. I just don't want to do much of anything except hang by the phone waiting on good news. The girls need to be with you now and I know they feel the same. You have so many prayers from so many people who love you guys. God has a plan with all of this, we just don't get it at times.

My friends and nuns are praying too. I feel pretty helpless right now. If you need any of us, you know we'll come running. I'm comforted to know that you're a strong man - in many ways, and you have a wonderful network of family and friends around you. I can't imagine what you're going through - it's worse than anything I've ever had to face. My heart is breaking for you and your kids. Thank you so much for the blog - it's good for me to read. I do love you. Lise Dear Jake

He either needs to read blogs a lot more, or just let me distill it down for him. It appears that the rest of the Family has found your blog. We are still thinking and praying about you.

Perhaps they might be useful in getting the blood moving in GAC's limbs. Or maybe they're just too gross to contemplate.

You are a strength not only to your family and your precious wife, but also to those of us reading your entries. You have opened your heart and emotions to those you may never meet in person. In your writing, you present the pain -- the confusion -- the anguish -- the resolution -- of one going through that which is unimaginable. Though it all, you show a strength of spirit as well as the determination to persevere. I am reminded of reading operationeden.com as Clayton James Cubitt opened his soul to chronicle his grief for destruction of his family's home and the people of his hometown through Katrina's wrath and the continued writing through the slow rebuilding of a town and its people. A virtual opening into the soul of another... powerful! Know that you, BJ and your family are in so many thoughts as you continue to fight the wrath of this God awful sickness that has attacked your wife's body. May prayers and healing vibes surround you all...

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I can't offer much, except to assure you that miracles happen every day in the ICU, and that very sick people wake up and walk away from extraordinary illness with nothing more than a story to show for it all. Keep strong, stay hopeful, and take care of yourself. Doctors orders!!! Love, Treecy P.S. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask. Jake,
