he's in the wheelchair!

Well today jon made it in the wheelchair!! Jons mom worked on jons toes - GROSS for me - but fun for her!! We teased him that he was having a "pedicure" he made sure we ALL knew he WASNT having a pedicure just a trim!! we'd for sure say otherwise!! thanks mom - theres just some things i cant do - that would be mens toes!!!

I was able to wash his hair as well..Robert was looking for the cucumbers to place over his eyes and Todd was looking for the avocado mix to put on jons face..so today were obviously having fun with jon.

Jon did make it into his wheelchair about 3pm today..he's trying to just relax and not pass out!! SO far so good..im so grateful!!

I want to thank you all for your prayers and fasting..its REALLY working!!! how wonderful!!! His pain level is also DOWN to a 6!!! this truly is a miracle that he can go from being in tears to a pain level of a 6 now!! THANK YOU!!! you are all the ones that made this possible for us!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! i have newly freshed given hope that we can AGAIN look forward to our future and his healing. How wonderful to experience this!!

Christina- It has been a wonderful day of fasting and prayer. Thank you for holding this fast. It was an opportunity for us to free our minds and reflect and express our feelings to the Throne. We are so grateful that he is having a better day. Such an example of the power of prayer and fasting. It is moments like this that help us to renew and appreciate the tender experiences that we have. Christina you are such a beautiful example to us.
Thank you for keeping us updated. We love you so. Kristi

Thank you for allowing us all to experience this with you and help in any way possible. I know those of us who live further away wish we could do more and so this is at least something that we can help with. I am so glad he is getting better, it's just a sign of better things to come. The Lord truly does hear our prayers and especially the prayers of many united in a cause at the same time. This is just a small way we can show our love! And I know the love we all feel for you and your family is minute compared to the love of our Father and our Savior. May you all continue to be blessed and may the pain continue to subside until one day it is a 0. What a joyous day that will be.

Hey Christina,

You probably don't know me but I have been following along with your progress from the LDS website. I also fasted for your family today.

Your family's perseverance is amazing. Remember that this will not last forever. Just think, in the next life we won't feel any pain at all! I pray that you will be able to endure until that time!

P.S. For an inspirational boost read D&C 58:4. It's my favorite scripture.
