5/26/09
Jon had another busy day yesterday. PT and OT sat him in a wheel chair for almost 1 1/2 hours. His oxygen and pulse stayed good while he was sitting up. We got to wheel him around the 5th floor. It was so exciting to us...I am not really sure what Jon thought of all the excitement. Mom discovered after I left that the oxygen was not making any noise...It had been empty. We do not know for how long but Jon's numbers did not indicate that he was having any problems. I should clarify that Jon is not able to have conversations or "talk" all of the time. He sporadically will say something. It is hard to hear him b/c he does not have the voice thing on his trach. He is allowing mom to brush his teeth. He opens his mouth up and lets her clean his mouth. Yesterday, Jon was fidgeting in his bed and I was sitting next to him. I asked him if he wanted me to move and he did not hesitate in shaking his head yes! He was also trying to snap his fingers. The doctors are going to meet and discuss the plan for Jon's continued recovery today. They are still lowering his meds all the time. Please keep praying.

Jon,
ReplyDeleteWhat room are you in? Do you look at your cards? Do you get any cards? I am not a card sender but just for you, if you would look at it, I would make the big time effort to send you one.
Be nice to your mother and dad and of course your sisters.....and 'big Jon'. You are blessed.
Keep trying, keep praying, keep doing what they tell you to do and one day you will be at home...then I will come visiting.
Smile!!!!

Darci, It is so uplifting to hear that he is making so much progress!!! It is amazing that he has made it this far. You are such a blessing to Jon and how you have reached out for support and prayers. I am sure that Jon will be shocked when he is able to see and read all of this stuff that has been said about him. Stay strong, God is with you and your family!! Love Sue
