Jon sleeps thru the night but no one else does!!

So jon made it thru the night without having anyone there...but i think that NOBODY else slept!! i didnt sleep good, jons parents and alot of our friends didnt either!!
we talked to the head rehab guy and they moved his discharge date from april 19th - may 3rd - we were SO excited about that!!!!!
he got results from his xray and all looks great there..so there is no concern of anything...jon is hestitant about getting another MRI with all the radiation and he'd prefer to have his dad and bro. walker give him a blessing before that is done..so thats what we'll do...
today i got to be with him a bit this early afternoon..he did SO GREAT!!!!!!!!!! im SO PROUD of my man!!!! they taught him how to remove his own shirt off while sitting in the wheelchair! i was TOTALLY shocked at what he could do!!!! the PT girl was pretty surprised too!!! you could tell that with more time and stronger muscles he'll have NO problems whatsoever..i just kept saying how awesome he did!!! he loved that of course..
then we went with big bill for PT..he tried his heart out getting himself out of the wheelchair and onto the workout bed thingy..then he had to lay on it and lift his arms up ..like your palms facing up towards the ceiling and lock his elbows in and then swing them side to side and then toss them over to the left and roll over..he did SO good for his first time!!!! with time that will come too..
as you can tell i left him in such HIGH SPIRITS!!!!!!!! im so proud ofhim!!!!!!! he works so hard..and its such a struggle..but he does it!!!!
i ran back home so i could help the girls with their homework and now im off to go back to the hospital to let the older 2 girls hang with jon..rachel FINALLY asked on her own to go see him..so thats what were doing!!!
thanks everyone for your constant prayers- they are TOTALLY working!!!!!! i cant believe he was only in ICU for 3 days, and ALREADY in rehab one week after his accident! i cant believe he NEVER had to be on a ventilator or use a trache!! i cant believe he didnt get pnemonia or have any lung issues!!! i cant believe the first time in a wheelchair he went 20 ft!!! these are SO unheard of and not normal and SOOOOOOOOOOO encouraging!!!!! and its ALLLLL every LAST BIT of it is because of you guys...in the VERY literal sense...you guys - how FOREVER grateful we will be to all of you...because of you...im getting my jon back...thank you...
