JACK'S BACK!!!!
Jack is talking, Jack is swallowing, Jack is happy and smiling!
His therapy went great, he was swallowing saliva on his own. I was so excited we called daddy to tell him, and Jack started talking to Daddy on the phone!
Then we called Mommer (grandma) and when Elaine answered the phone Jack said, "Hi Mommmer this is Jack!" Jack just told me he has to go to the bathroom so we have to log off!!! talk again soon to you, I am talking to my sweet boy now.

Thank you Lord for your continued healing for Jack and for making him whole and back to his normal self! We give you thanks and praise and all the glory. You are merciful, powerful, and steadfast, and you never leave us. Thank you for your presence in the Marcelain family and for being their Rock. We continue to look forward to the day that Jack is back home in Abilene and his healing is made complete.

It was so good to see Tom, Elaine, and Rob at church last night (the kids were in class, I'm sure) and we can't wait until you are able to join them. We miss seeing your smiling faces! And how awesome that God is answering our prayers and Jack is talking, smiling, and swallowing agian! You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Keep up the good work.
We love you!

As someone who works with Speech everyday I know how important and vital it is to everyday life. I know what a blessing it is to hear a child's sweet voice (especially for a mother to hear her own child's voice). I praise you Father for giving Jack such a sweet voice. Keep getting better Jack. We love you both and want you to come home soon.
Love,

My heart goes out to you, Jack, and the entire family. I am sorry that I am just now finding out so I can add to the support and prayers. The news sounds so positive and I am sure that is because of your tremendous love and support from your family and friends, and your overwhelming strength in your faith. Thank you for taking the time to share your updates, and letting all of us be a part of it with you.
You have a ton of love and support way back here in Arizona.
It is wonderful to hear he is doing well and is on the mend.
Take care. Love, Michelle, Cary, Andrew and Shelbi

I am choking back tears. We take so much for granted. Sometimes I catch myself almost wishing my children wouldn't talk so much. You are such a wonderful reminder to me of how very precious our sweet children are. We are so very very happy for Jack. We miss him and are still praying hard all the time!! Thank you for being a blessing to me during this phase in you life!
Thank you for praying for me. I feel good today. I have talked, read a book, played a game, colored with chalk, played a little basketball, walked some stairs, and practiced my swallowing today.

Jack is talkiing well today. He uses mostly one word at a time sometimes two. He did read a book with Sahan's father, Moe, who has a great way with motivating everyone around him. Jack gave Sahan a squeeze toy for him to play with. I asked the speech therapist about when she would give Jack some food to try, like pudding, and she said maybe next week. He will practice his swallowing and continue on the vitastim therapy then go to the hospital for a swallow study. After she sees everything is going to the correct places then he can try eating. I also asked her about an estimate for time here and she said that she could not really tell, but if Jack continues to proceed at such a great speed it could be as little as 2 weeks more. Keep praying for Jack, he is doing so well and in good spirits. He likes to go to the child life room, and play with the volunteers and new friends he has made.
Thanks for your continued prayers.

We continue to pray for his complete healing and for your family to be back together again soon.
May God continue to bless you and Rob daily as you are apart, each doing what you can, with God as your strength, to keep your family going right now.
You are blessed with so many family members and friends who have stepped in and helped to carry the burden. And Jack has been so blessed with the Drs. who have been taking care of him.
Praying for you daily-
