One last message...

Jon will continue to go to outpatient rehab at Jim Thorpe in OKC.  Jon can now use a cane to walk short distances and was told to return the wheelchair to the rental place.  He is still working hard even during his "off" days.  The president of the hospital saw Mom and Jon again today at rehab and recognized them...He asked if everything was still going well.  Jon was the first person in the state of Oklahoma to be put on the rotoprone bed.  Baptist is the only hospital in Oklahoma to have this bed.  Jon's doctor had written the president of the hospital a letter telling that the bed had made a HUGE difference in Jon's recovery.  After he got the letter, he went to the 9th floor to see the bed.  When he got to the 9th floor, the nurses told him that he had to meet Jon so he went to the sixth floor and met Jon.  He was amazed at Jon's recovery to that point. ...so today he saw mom and Jon and checked in on him.  They discussed how we believe that the Lord got Jon to OU and they got him "patched up" enough to get him to Dr. Boggs.  Then Dr. Boggs healed him through the guidance of the Lord.  We are so thankful to everyone who has played a part in Jon's recovery from people who have sent a note, called, mowed the yard...and prayed.  This is our last post to the blog.  Once again, words will never express our gratitude to everyone during this time.  We wanted to leave you with a message from Kem, Mom and Jon.  

Thank you so much for all of your prayers, kind words, and support during the past 4 1/2 months.  We appreciate your prayers during this time.  Everyone's support has meant so much to us. The many acts of kindness such as the community benefit, mowing our yard, taking care of our animals, and watering our plants have truly touched our hearts. Thank you to Fargo Public Schools for your continued support during this time.  Your support has made it possible to focus on Jon through his accident, illness and recovery. Your kindness is very heart felt.  A special thanks to all the doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and the many other medical staff members who have played such a crucial role in Jon's recovery.  Your dedication and acts of kindness will never be forgotten.  An extra special THANK YOU to Dr. Boggs for going above and beyond the call of  duty. Above all, we give thanks to the Lord for all of our blessings.  Please continue to pray for us and we look forward to seeing everyone in the near future.--Kem, Dani and Jon

Jon is home!

Jon was able to come home on Friday.  He will be going back and forth to OKC for out patient rehab.  The splint on his let is really helping to straighten it out.  He is walking MUCH better w/ the walker.  He has even been picking it up and walking all on his own.  It is so great to get to visit him @ home.  His doctor still cautioned him about being exposed to stuff in public. He does not want him to get sick so he is being very careful to stay well.  We are still so appreciative of all the prayers that have been said on our behalf.  We are so thankful for everyone's support.  Words cannot express how thankful we are.  Please continue to pray for Jon and his continued recovery.  We thank God everyday for all of the blessings He has given to us and for continuing to answer our prayers.  Remember never, never, never give up!!!
