Please pray for Jacob

My dear son, Jacob, is REALLY bummed. Last week his friend, Jacob Long, got killed in a farm accident which was tough. Now he's been looking forward to going to this shoot at Chris's place for months. This morning Jacob came down with a bug and threw up. Right away Andrew said, "We're not going." Well that set me off on a quest for what would help Jacob get well FAST!

The first thing that I did was a lengthy BodyTalk session on him. After that I got him soaking in the whirlpool with a cup of apple cider vinegar in it. Then, while he was still very warm, he lay in the shower curtain. This trick I used once when I desperately had to get well NOW. It worked as I sang at a wedding the next day. What you do is soak in the tub or shower until you're very warm and then lay for half an hour in a plastic sheet of some sort. You sweat like crazy and then go in the shower to wash off all of the poisons and to cool off. Well, when Jacob was in the shower we did Dr. Schult's hot/cold cure which has done wonders for us before. After that we hit Body Chemistry Fast Aid and did that every 15 minutes for about 4 hours. THEN HE SLEPT LIKE A BABY. Since then he's been doing Fast Aid whenever his throat hurts and it's been staying at bay.

Robert and I know how badly Jacob wants to go to the shoot so we talked it over and gave him a plan of attack. He had to eat supper at the table and keep it down--which he did. If he does that, we'll set our alarm clocks for early. He has to sleep like a rock and wake up without a sore throat in the morning at 5:00 AM. If he feels as good as new, then Andrew and he will take off so that they can be there at 8:30 when it starts. You should have seen how Jacob perked up at the hope that they still may be able to go.

Andrew called Chris at supper time and told him that they won't be coming tonight for sure. Chris said that he may host another shoot later in the summer if things go well this weekend. This softened the blow for both boys in case it turns out that they just cannot go in the morning. At any rate, please pray for my Jacob as he is really hurting right now and doesn't really want to wait for "Later in the summer." Poor kid.

So I just asked him if he thinks it's a possability that he will be ready to go in the morning. He grinned at me and said, "I'm not giving up." So he's going to soak while we're out at chores; then lay in the sheet again (he loved this by the way); and then the shower cure after that. It could get late but how can I not give him this hope?

Blessings,

Dawn
