11:06 am.

Jon had a VERY good night! This morning he had a little dip in his oxygen level but the nurse said that it was okay. She reminded us that we are going to have to keep taking the chance of pushing forward and accept a little step backward to ever make any progress. They are monitoring him closely. The doctor also told us that there has been a good amount of improvement in his x-ray from the first day until now. We are so thankful for all of his improvement. Jon's color looks good. The scabs on his face are really starting to heal. They are about to fall off. His swelling has really gone down. Jon is about back to his normal size. The orthopedic doctors told us that they would be able to do surgery on Jon's ankle whenever he was well enough to undergo the surgery safely. There would not be any further damage done by waiting. Jon's pupils are still responding appropriately. They are both equal and responsive. They all keep reminding us that his recovery will b made in baby steps...All prayers are appreciated!

  1. What great news!!! Yes, our family knows all to well that while pushing ahead for progress and improvement - there are set backs here and there! We are certainly continuing to pray for all of you - especially Jon. Darci - so glad you are able to be there for Jon as well as your mom and Kim. Your role is very important - more than you realize!!! Kim Conway, Raquel and Valerie

  2. To My sweet spirited, gently Jon,
    Your family is as amazing as you always thought they were.
    One day you will know all the details and you will be proud.
    Soon Spring will be here and you will be able to touch the flowers, enjoy your animals and yes, soar the clouds with 'big jon'.
    Until then you are being cared for by people that you do not know but they know you as their own.
    Love flows to you from many people and many places.

    Sweet Dreams......Wanda
