Feb. 22 2009

Last night was a bit of a rough night for Jon. His left lung collapsed last night and he was in some pain. They fixed him right up though and he's back on the road to recovery today. He's started physical therapy on his leg from his bed. They hook his leg up to a lovely machine that is apparently quite uncomfortable on his booty. Not sure if that's actually the case or if Jon just wants people to pay attention to his butt : )

The pain medication that he's on apparently has some hallucinogenic qualities. Jon is convinced that there is a special AC unit in his room that drops down from the ceiling, and I believe some lobsters stopped by to hang out for a while too.

He's had a lot of visitors today which has been wonderful. Jon loves seeing everybody and we're all grateful for the support. He's pretty worn out from everything right now. He was standing up and in his body brace again today. The physical therapists even put him in a wheelchair for a while. The Doctor's have been kind and allowed solid food! It's a nice change from a feeding tube and clear liquids. Ice chips are still his favorite snack though.

The Doctor's have been amazed at Jon's recovery so far, it's a long road we're on but he's making great progress. All the nurses adore him (shocking) and say that he's their favorite patient. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts. I know it's by the grace of God that we still have Jon and I know we're all so thankful!
