The prayers are working

Christina called and asked me to post an update, so I will do my best.



It's 3:00 p.m. and the prayers are working. Jon was given anxiety medicine earlier today. When they gave him the medication they took out the oxygen tubes and put on an oxygen mask. He was able to fall asleep, but the oxygen mask dried him out and he woke up choking and gasping for water. They decided to remove all the oxygen and the I.V. since he is eating so well. Jon's dad put in some classical music and Jon was able to sleep peacefully.
The physical therapist moved Jon to the edge of the bed to sit up and Jon said it felt like his head was sitting on top of a water balloon.
The Chaplin comes in every morning and this morning he asked if he could say a prayer. Jon's dad was holding his hand and then during the prayer Jon lifted his arm and folded them (exciting progress).
Jon was able to get his breathing treatment to 1750, yesterday afternoon it was 750. Jon looks great and Christina was so excited to walk into the room and see Jon without any tubes.
Thanks for all the support and prayers. It is comforting to Jon and his family to know they have so many people to lean on. Keep up the good work and let's make sure we are here for their family as the months go on. So pace yourselves!
