He's feeling a little better..

This am Jon is feeling a little bit better then yesterday. He said he hardly slept thru the nite because he kept waking up every 1.5 hours thru the nite. The caretaker is pretty tired too since she was up every 2.5 hours cathing him and giving him meds.

He's planning on just laying low today. Todd will be here around 2pm to be with him.

There was a couple here last nite, and they are the type that dont ask "what can we do?" they come in and find things to do - that has to be the MOST helpful thing for us right now! We arent in a position to be able to stop and tell you everything that needs to be done. Im SO grateful to have friends that feel comfortable just walking in and looking inside the home and outside the home and are able to just do what needs to be done- thanks guys! Also this same couple came in to speak with jon, and jon said that even though he hardly knows this couple WHAT an impression the Brother left on him.. Jon said that even more then them showing up to help..but what he said meant the world to him..he said "Jon, we want you to know were in this for the long haul, no matter what, were here for the long haul whatever it takes." This morning jon said that meant SO much to him!! That they would acknowledge to Jon that they were here for however long it took, and that they understood that this infact IS going to be a long haul..and that he wouldnt be abandoned or left behind by this one couple. so again THANKS guys! he really needed to hear those words from someone else other then his family. It helped him to know they were committed to him and our family.

Right now the caretaker is going to be giving him a bed bath to help him to continue to feel good. We'll see if he's able to get in his wheelchair- if he does thats a GREAT sign that things are getting better.

I did remind him that he did take an extra dose of the nuerontin..so hopefully that as well is helping him. I also told him there are still THOUSANDS of people constantly praying on his behalf- i hope Heavenly Father hears our pleas!!
