great night again

i talked to jons mom this am..i didnt get to bed till 2am..one of those thinking thru the nite things...but i did sleep in till 9am..so that was good! jons mom sandra said he did good thru the nite..they actually have him a sleeping pill vs the anxiety medication..and when he woke up thru the nite... it wasnt so bad..he requested that he be moved every 2 hours..so the nurses were good about that too..this am when he finally woke..he felt SO happy that he wasnt so grogged out from the other stuff...
the PT guys have already come in TWICE today!!! jons a go getter!!! his fever is at 99.3 still..they say its common because when your lying down so much everything settles in your lungs..so he continues to do his breathing thingy (he calls them his breathing dumbells) hes actually got his number to almost 2000!!! AMAZING!!! they told him the more he sits up the better his lungs will be..his body is fighting it off well..maybe thats why he stayed sitting up for 17 minutes yesterday!!!
all in all he's doing well..today again would be good for visitors! he told me last nite.."i hope your not turning people away!!!" i told him people understand..and they'd rather see you getting rest then chit chatting with them..so no worries..now that he's doing good..it would be good for people..keep in mind it takes a lot of wind out of him and breathing to carry on a conversation..so if you can-- you yourself try to do most the talking...
i am now on my way to the LOVELY dmv - ugh- but atleast his car will be registered and i wont get any tickets!! tracy is with him now caring for him..then mark should be there shortly... he'll stay till 2pm..then ill take over ..then robert will stay thru the nite..
thanks again to everyone for all of your help -- its just been so wonderful!! soon here jon will be getting out of his cute night gown..and into some regular clothes..my mom is on her way getting him some fresh white garments..mom-- he's going to LOVE THAT!!! thanks!! i imagine he'll be in some sort of workout gear type stuff..loose clothing..he only has one pair of gym type pants and NO SHORTS!! if anyone would like..he could use some more gym type sweat pants..the loose kind..not the tight sweats kind...the one he has now says XL..so get a L or XL..as well as some gym shorts..again L or XL..maybe make sure they have a tie so he can keep it around his 32 waist - i know ALL the 33 year old men and older are jealous he still wears a size 32 waist and has a 6 pack!!! also some tshirts would be good...i know he's a small guy BUT he has a big heart!! he likes to wear size large in the t shirts...also some fresh white gym socks would be good for him.. he does have gym shoes so were good on that..i hope thats not asking too much of anyone..but he's going to be spending the next 4-6 weeks working out..so he'll love it!

thank you everyone! its sure a lot easier to do this with so much help! look later for a fun surprise on my blog from jon -- i hope you enjoy it when it comes!!
