Tonite and today we ask that you pray for jon that the doctor who is reviewing jons file at Rancho Los Amigos will have his heart softened and feel the need to have Jon come to their rehab..its CRUCIAL that this step happens..
Jon is doing well..he's having some skin irritations but they have cleared up now since he's stayed in his bed for 2 days..that has helped..he's been eating well and is ready for the week to start..
The wheelchair should arrive here in another 1-2 weeks is the plan..it will be GREAT for jon to have a chair customed for him!!
The girls are doing great..rachel has a hamster and it raced in the PetCo hamster race..it was SMOKING all the other hamsters in the practice round..but it didnt win in the actual race..actually it kinda did..the other hamster made it to the finish line but TECHNICALLY it NEVER CROSSED the line like rachels did..oh well..it was a good learning experience for her and there will be another race!
Sarah is doing good too..ive got her signed up for soccer and due to Jons condition they gave Sarah a scholarship to play! i was stunned and totally taken back!! Im doing all I can to keep their lives how it use to be and not take away everything from them..so we were just so thankful!! sadly though..her practices are monday and wednesday NITES 7-8pm!! she most likely wont be going to much of them..if any..we're not thrilled about her practicing CLEAR down by the stake center 2 nites a week that late at nite for 6 year olds!!!
Anna is doing well too..she's still dressing up as a princess waiting for prince charming to come marry her..she's THRILLED that becca is her new friend now and will play with her and EVEN wear the princess dress up dresses!!! They remind me of how rachel and sarah played when they were 4 and 2...
The older 2 girls continue to be SUCH great helpers to me..and im so thankful..i couldnt do any of this without them!!
As for myself..ive been a little sad and down..ive just REALLY been missing my old jon and our old life..and being a single parent is hard and long for me right now..so ive been struggling a little..tonite i just cried near jons head because thats all i could do..jon just kept saying..im so sorry..it kills me to see you like this..anyway..i think one of these days ill just have to put jon in our bed upstairs to feel somewhat normal for once!! its very hard to go into separate rooms to sleep..i imagine jon walking upstairs, hearing his ankle crack, closing the door and locking it, brushing his teeth, changing his clothes his usual nightly routine..then i glance up and realize..im just in a big bed by myself..i just get sad..
i try to just think..when we get to the other side..i cant imagine the reward or blessing rather that is awaiting for us if we continue to endure..endure means SO MUCH more then it ever has before..
well its nearly 1130pm now..i should go soak my eyes and get some sleep! please pray for jon that again he'll be approved by the doctor to join rehab..

Hi, I have been woundering how you have been doing. I have been watching for your next blog. I understand now, you have been really busy. I am praying that Jon gets appoved by the new Doctor. I am also Praying for you that you have strength to endure what you need to endure.

I also have been thinking about your family. I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time. Christina, you are such a wonderful person. I know with all my heart that Our Heavenly Father will help you get thru this. Just remember that he is always there for you and we are always here if you ever need to talk. My family will be praying for you family and also praying that Jon gets approved by the Doctor.
Stay strong.

reading through your blog makes me ache with you during your trials as well as celebrate your successes. Thank you for sharing the good and the bad. Take your moments to cry but also take your moments to laugh out loud. They are both such an emotional release.
You are not alone!
