Laughter is Good Medicine!

We got home around 4:15pm Thursday.  From 7-8pm, the guys came over and helped devour some of the cupcakes that Chelsea & Co brought.  They also brought tons of laughter and "philisophicalness." 

The video link below is low quality, so I thought a few helps might be in order...

Christian is in the front holding Jacob's old pacemaker that Dr. Brown & Co. took out.  He also has one in his hand that is slightly larger and similar in size to the one that is now in Jacob's "belly." 

In the first part of the video (behind Jocelyn's scream), Christian implies that the pacemakers would make good gauges (a fashion statement in ears.) Jacob evidently thought that was funny!

Then the dialogue continues...

• You'd be a walking pacemaker.
• He IS a walking pacemaker.

• Actually he's a walking person.  The pacemaker is just in him.

• The pacemaker is walking with him.

• Technically a pacemaker can't walk.

• This conversation is so intellectual.   I don't know that I've ever heard this...

• I would've had competition up there at Riley... with "philosophicalness"

• Probably a good thing we didn't come up.  Jacob would've never been able to get any sleep.

• Jacob didn't get any sleep.

 

After the cupcakes....
A game of Catch Phrase was in order.  You probably can't catch all of the banter in this next video, but I'm guessing that you'll enjoy watching Jacob laugh so hard.  So glad this group of guys and Chelsea came over to welcome Jacob home.  The laughter had great medicinal impact.  No one expected Christian to end the game by guessing "quantum physics!"


We were glad it was planned only from 7-8pm.  It was just the right amount of fun before we quieted down for the first night home!

Please keep praying for our rest and recovery. 

Jocelyn is rather clingy.  Yesterday morning when Tom said we were going home, she asked if she could come, too.  I can't quite put words on how that makes me feel.  She had a great time with PawPaw & NaNa, AND it's really good to be home together!

Today Tom found out that Ryan can travel out of town on Monday and Tuesday so Tom won't have to leave until Wednesday for an ONB project out of town.  THANKS, RYAN!!!

This afternoon I napped for three solid hours in my own bed, and it was wonderful!!!!!  Back on the air mattress in the living room with Jacob on the couch as soon as I sign off here......... ZZZzzzz......

We are all recovering and continue to be very thankful that you are along for the ride with us.  Stay tuned for follow up on the joke/photo contest from earlier this week!
