friday and saturday

Friday morning at 10 they moved Jon to Select Specialty Hospital. Jon had a really great day yesterday. He was assessed by the doctor, the pa, and different therapist. Jon really responded well. He did everything that they asked. He moved fingers and toes on the right and left side according to what they asked him. He was talking more. He wiggled his tongue. They were all very happy with how Jon responded. He was able to sit up in a special chair for a while. This hospital is bright and clean. Jon has three big windows in his room. Someone told us that there was a small window for things to reconnect and we are in it. The doctor said we need to get Jon up and going so he can get out of here:)...

Last night Jon started to get a fever. By this morning it was at 105. His pulse rate was also up. Jon is also breathing fast. They have him on a cooling blanket and have started antibiotics. They haven't gotten the results from his blood cultures back yet. Jon is coughing up a lot of stuff. They also are taking his pic line out and putting a central line back in in case the pic line is a source of infection. They said that this is common but it still worries us. Yesterday was such a great day; this feels like such a set back...Please say an extra prayer or two for Jon.
