quiet nite..

well tonite its a quiet nite..jon got a lot done and rested in his bed..the nurse gave him a bed bath which was REALLY needed- we hope to get him upstairs with help from jake thompson and peter esquivel tomorrow nite for a shower..that will make him feel SO GREAT!!!
right now were watching him closely..we seem to think he has a UTI, he has a fever of 101.0...so were going to call the doctor tomorrow morning after i cath him at 8am to get him in for the UTI and get a prescription for antibiotics...we may not even need to go in for that..but ill call..and then jon's still worried about his ankle..so we may end up going in to have him look at it anyway..which will maybe lead to an xray on it...

i wanted to add that there are some concerns that people are worried or nervous or concerned about jon going on the cruise..please know that we are not choosing the cruise over jons health, please know that his health comes first, please know that if the nite before we leave and he's just not comfortable about going..it wont happen..but for now..were focusing on him being able to go...please try not to add to the stress and ask him "are you nervous about going!!??!" because yes he is..and he will tell you he is...who wouldnt be..but his desire is to go..and he's told me that if he's not capable..then he's just not going...i just felt like this needed to be addressed..i didnt want things whirling around the nation about this and not knowing the whole situation or how we really felt about the whole thing...
i also dont want people to think we have tons of money or are using any fund money and are out cruising and taking vacations...this money was saved up and already spent way before jons accident..there is also no refund to get any of it back...this is something the whole family has planned for - for about 3 years now..again - i just didnt want to give the wrong impression to everyone out there..
i dont want people to think im trying to defend myself..but sometimes people make judgements before they know the whole situation..that is SUCH a huge lesson i have learned from this trial and just wanted to take a moment and share this before judgements were passed our way..i hope this all made sense and that you understand what i was trying to say..

I hope his temperature drops and that all goes well with the doctor. I also hope you are able to get everything in order before your trip. I think it can really help Jon and give your entire family a nice break from your daily rigorous schedule. Sounds like you will have quite a crowd there. Hope the weather is good for you and that you have a great trip.

The prayers of our family continue to be with you, Jon, and your family. May the Lord continue pour out his blessings upon you.
