will jon finally get a haircut????

Poor jon- his hair grows SO fast...everyday this week i told him i'd come give him a haircut only i kept forgetting the stuff to do it with..but this saturday morning i WILL remember and pick that up...his hair is a little out of control right now - im hoping to tame it a bit so he doesnt scare little children!!
As i got to the hospital, i opened the door and looked down the hall infront of me to see jons dad walking beside jon as he wheeled himself back his room...it was all i could do to hold back tears..to see two grown men like that..it really was a picture perfect moment..and image i'll remember for the rest of my life..to keep myself from totally losing it, i whistled at them..robert turned around then jon turned around and gave the biggest smile..it was great!
Yesterday he stayed up in the chair from 930am-530pm..he did great! im so proud of his progress!!
I will go today and spend the day with him and give him his haircut. I imagine we'll have a few visitors stop by which will be fun.
Continue to pray for his triceps and for his upper body trunk control.
As far as the house, jake is finishing up the floors with sheldon today. Then my father and warren owens will come out on monday to evaluate the upstairs bathroom and get started on that project. Im grateful we have another week before jon comes home - from may 3rd-to may 10th now.. we needed the extra time to get the house ready for his arrival.
Thank you EVERYONE for everything, everything big and small...your prayers which are thee most important are working...we feel all the prayers..please never feel like "all you can do is pray" because that is what is most important and needed! Thank you to everyone who is helping with the fundraiser, especially celesta who has a second job now it seems! Amy, Tracy -thanks guys for helping to put it together as well!! Thank you to everyone that has donated- i hope everyone is able to come and experience such a postive thing - something that is desperately needed in this day and age with so much negativity around us- i hope you are able to come and be uplifted by so many people willing and wanting to do so much good - its contagious!-just like jons smile is contagious!!
