A new level...

Jon said he slept fairly well last night.. he was able to get good sleep despite his pain..sadly the nurse FORGOT to give him his 4am Norco so Jon woke up "at a whole new level of pain"..im ready to ring some nurses necks over there!!!
He still says that all this pain is part of the body healing..its something he needs to go thru to heal..he will be grateful for it in the end...it does have purpose and meaning..
i plan on going in today..Carisa Snow will be here about 11am..then i will need to again find someone to stay after 3pm time till i get back around 7-8pm...anyway that is available please let me know..
This am when i was doing morning prayers with the girls..Mekai McGee asked to say it..she mentioned that at home she prays for Jon and our family every time they pray. I told her how grateful i was that she and her family does that for us..then Sarah stepped in and said "hey its working! because my dad IS getting better!!" it was awesome to hear that...then rachel stepped in and said "why doesnt God use his magic powers to make him better right now?" so that started a good conversation..i told her that Heavenly Father was helping Jon to learn about patience and learn about pain and to undestand the real difference between pain and being healthy and happy that he has a good strong body..you gotta love teaching moments like that!!
im getting pretty stressed out trying to pull a caregiver to either come in my home 24 hours or someone that can do a morning shift and an evening shift... i do have the morning shift taken care of - THANKS KIMBERLEY!!! Now its just narrowing down the night time shift..i hope i have enough help..i just dont know what his day is going to be like..i hope i can do all this AND raise 4 girls..im starting to feel the stress come on..and realize the amount of time its going to take..and just how long this process really is going to be for us..i hope were handling things good so Jon can attend his brother Marks wedding and his sister Katie's wedding in June..
anyway -SO much to think about..i need to stop thinking for a minute and get ready for the day..
thanks for all your prayers- he is still VERY mentally strong and has a good spirit about him..especially during this pain..im totally amazed by him..your prayers ARE working to the effect of keeping him mentally still here with us..and not drowning in such severe pain..his mind is able to cope with it..even though its worse then its been yesterday..it will be an interesting day today im sure..
