the prayers are REALLY working!!

your prayers are REALLY working!! jon stayed in his chair for a full 4.5 hours!!!! he did so much better today with that...
most of his family were there today, chad,kelly, scott, kellie, mark, jennifer, me and then sheldon..sheldon stayed there all day to be with jon..so nice of him!! he's been a really good friend to jon..it was hard for me to watch such a big guy spoon feeding my husband..and yet it came so naturally to sheldon..it was neat to be a part of that..
his room has a nice patio that opens up--so we all could sit out there and visit while jon was in his bed..he could feel the breeze and hear the birds sing... he really enjoyed that..the gang left to go get lunch and get him some workout shorts..jon was able to sleep for a good hour..during that time sheldon and i talked about a LOT of important things..it was good for me to have that kind of conversation with sheldon..then jon woke up and we talked about the business for a bit..the GDC convention went REALLY well - were so lucky that scott and sheldon took off a whole week of work to do that for jon..this has been jons DREAM to own his own business or atleast to TRY to see if it would work..
i left at around 8pm..chad is spending the night with jon..it will be good for those two to spend quiet time together..all the family will be back again tomorrow to visit again..i hope they remember to bring apples 2 apples!!!
one PT guy or doctor or someone came in this evening before i left and talked with jon..he was TOTALLY surprised that jon could even lift his arms and hands the way he did!! he told us that usually its a whole month before they can even do that- what a miracle!!! he also told jon that in about 3-7 days he'll be able to feel his toes..that shouldnt be a problem...it was very encouraging!!
so amazingly its only 10pm! i can get to bed early tonite! ya!!!
im starting now to think a little about the future..and what needs to take place for that..i personally want to thank celesta for "thinking ahead" and about our future for us..right now everything is so "right now" or at "this moment" for me..im thankful to her and jake thompson for helping to put things in motion for our future..im very blessed to have friendships like that!!
we ask that you continue to pray for him to be acclimated with the chair..and also pray for his eating..he eats VERY VERY little ..and im a little concerned..he thinks he's eaten a lot then when he see's what he's really eaten..its not much..he says he's just "never hungry"..and he's worried about acid reflux or making his sugar level too high..i talked to the doctor and showed him his dinner plate...and he had even said..oh thats hardly anything..i will need to bring this up with the doctor..what a blessing for me it is to listen to the spirit and follow it..thats so important to live your life in such a manner that your able to her the whisperings of the spirit and to act upon them..
he doesnt have his PT schedule yet..but once he does he'll be in more of a daily schedule type thing..on wednesday he's having a "business" meeting with me, his brother scott, and sheldon..there we will go over what the next steps for the business is and what we can do to make this business continue..there was a LOT of buzz at the convention..and now its just a matter of keeping it going..
i cant believe tomorrow is church! some days flew by and some crawled by..time for me to go hit the sack!!
