We've found the need to start this blog so we could keep friends and family posted on Jacob's condition.
It's with a heavy (yet hopeful) heart that we inform everyone about Jacob. He is currently hospitalized in Pediatric ICU, as a result of complications associated with his disease, Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, or "LCH". The disease, which started in his GI tract, has spread to his lungs, liver and spleen. Jacob's breathing is currently being performed by a type of ventilator called an oscillator. While Jacob's condition has stabilized, we have a long road ahead of us before we can get him safely breathing on his own again. We will try to cover the events that have led to this situation in the coming days.
We will be living in the PICU with him indefinitely at Hackensack University Medical Center.
We only ask that you send prayers and love our way, as we are embarking on an enormous journey to get Jacob back to good health. You can reach us via email at reis.baron@gmail.com & melissabaron@optonline.net.

My heart stood still as I opened your email, but I have decided only to write positive words of support. I just called Matt and told him the news. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. You and Melissa are amazing people and if anybody deserves to pull through this, it's you. Little Jacob is very lucky to have you as his parents...I can't imagine that anybody else could love and support him as much as you do. We are here for you as you are in our hearts and we are there for you in spirit to help support you through this difficult journey. Much, much love and positive vibes on behalf of Matt, Shaina and myself.
