June 23 ~ Jonathan update


On Sunday, they were told he wouldn't survive. Doctors should never underestimate the power of a dickens.

When Mom talks, his blood pressure goes up...his feet wiggle.

When Dad lightly tickles his belly, a little wisp of smile crosses his face.

And yesterday, when the neurologist flashed the pen light into Jonathan's eyes he turned and said to the family, "He's in there. He'll make it."

:) :) :) He may have a long road of therapy to recover, he'll have to relearn to walk and talk, they don't know the extent of his brain damage...but he's in there. He will make it!

And for anyone who has seen those gorgeous long eyelashes, barely concealing the visible superhero who thrives inside of that kid.....there is no doubt!

Thanks to all of you for your good thoughts and prayers :)

    How wonderful that Jonathon is going to recover! The amazing thing about a child's brain is that because it's not fully formed, sometimes other parts will take over for any damaged areas.

    Best wishes to the family.
