i CANT believe it!!!!!!

WHAT a day today has turned out to be!!!! everyone - your prayers did EXACTLY what we needed them to do - to the core!!! thank you so VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!

as of now he's still breathing on his own..he gets a breathing treatment that helps to open up his lungs and it actually puts him to sleep!! he's so relaxed now and comfortable!!! no more oxygen..no more IV..no more needles! its just my jon in a bed with the neck brace- LOVE HIM!!!!

while i was there the PT guy from loma linda came in and accessed him and said he is the kind of person and canidadate that we all go to school and do this for!!! hes awesome and i cant WAIT to see his progress!!!! he's going to rock!!!! his physic is perfect, he has the best family and friend support he's EVER seen, and jon has the best attitude and "ready to roll" attitude- he just LOVES it!! the PT guy can HARDLY wait!!! he said that jon would be in loma linda for 4-6 weeks..thats how much the insurance will cover..and then if he's doing good he'll be coming HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

even the nurses were ALL CRYING!!!!! they are so touched by jon!!!! they said he's one patient they'll remember their whole lives!! theyve been praying for him too!!

then some other PT people came in and had him sit up on the bed to look out the window..he kept looking at me and telling me how beautiful i was..im so lucky!! the PT people couldnt BELIEVE that he could ALREADY sit up like that with minimal support and NOT throw up or get dizzy or want to faint!!!!!!!! they were literally amazed!!!!!! they said this is HIGHLY unusual that he can do any of this!!!!!
they were moving his leg up and closer to his chest and he said i think youve bent my right knee and are moving it- the PT guy was so shocked! he was SO excited!!!
they all just cant wait to transfer him -- they say friday but they are all pushing for him to go WAY WAY earlier! they are all just "ready to roll"!!! its become our motto i think!!!

his dad is still with him..im here at home trying to be with my girls..i will go in tonite to be with him thru the nite..im just SO happy for him - you can see how his entire countenance has changed- he's exuding PURE sweet happiness! i just cant even tell you!!

the bishop came in with his wife and he and jons dad gave him a blessing..it was wonderful...

chad thompson our EQP JUST came by and took my keys to go get that smog check - so ryan its taken care of- i cant believe how quickly things get done!!!

well im going to have my first meal in 5 days with my girls- thank you all again so very much!!!! im in heaven!!!
