So last nite we finished everything up, i went online and read more info on SCI patients... i read that some UTI's can cause your abdomen and legs to have muscle spasms- so im HOPING thats why he's had those bad lately is due to the bad UTI!!!
i finally got into bed by 1130pm..i saw our wedding picture again where he was dancing with me...i cried for a while...quietly..because honestly i just miss him..then i prayed and prayed and cried and prayed and prayed...then i fell asleep exhausted from crying and praying...
this am i got up and started my usual routine of cathing jon, preparing his breakfast, rotating him, all the usual things..then he asked me to come in and "see something"...so i walked in..every morning like ive said before he does "exercises"..so this am he was doing his thing and he had me look at the length of his right leg down at his feet...so i did....HE MOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i couldnt believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he can move JUST BARELY but visibly enough his right leg inward!!!!!!!!!!! as you can tell im WAY EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!! everytime, i feel like giving up...Heavenly Father BLESSES me with a HUGE miracle in the SMALLEST degree!!!! im sooooooo thankful - it has boosted our spirits to help us to keep going...to remember the priesthood blessing that was given "your body will be restored"...we have to just keep enduring...and stay humble to receive such miraculous blessings such as this...im so thankful!! i ran upstairs and thanked my Heavenly Father for his tiny miracle...how wonderful to relish and enjoy such wonderful moments in our trials!!!!!!
sadly..jon seems to be in a good amount of pain..he's not sure if he'll get out of his bed even today...he feels that its because he's not drinking enough and has his UTI and was exposed to too much sun and not having enough liquid...so well see how the rest of the day turns out -- which this new "trick" he's sure got a HUGE smile on his face..and being around his dad will help to encourage him!!!
THANK YOU for your prayers on our behalf - look AGAIN what WE TOGETHER HAVE ALL DONE!!!!!!!!!!! isnt life awesome!!!

My sister Paige forwarded me this article and i wanted to pass it along. Please let Jon know that we both love him and have him in our thoughts.

What a great blessing. I hope that his UTI goes away. That is so painful. It definitely does show the power of prayer. How is he doing with his pain meds? Has it gotten better?
Wonderful News!!!! Progress will continue!
I can't help but think of the scripture "By small and simple things great things shall come to pass." They already are. By the way I think it is great that you are keeping a blog. What a great legacy of faith and trust in the Lord to pass down to all your family.
