Each doctor, nurse, physical therapist, speech therapist, occupational therapist is blown away by Jon's strength. One PT even said, "I'm just shocked. Like, really shocked. You are shocking me. Um, why don't you sit down for a bit. I'm not sure what to do with you." LOL! We told her it was all attributed to God at work and she responded, "Ya, it has to be." :)
Our community group had given Jon a huge basket of gifts and treats - including Superman pajamas, complete with a Superman hat. When he started walking down the hallway, I jokingly said, "Well look at you, Superman!" and it reminded me their gift so I ran back to his room and grabbed his hat. He proudly walked around the entire 3rd ICU floor.
He is definitely my superhero!!!
What an amazing picture!!! Thank you JESUS. Keep continuing to heal Jon.
ReplyDeleteBe all the Deeana needs and be with the kids-especially I pray for Jackson and Taylor who can understand what's going on.
You are OUR GREAT PHYSICIAN!!!
I love how your sweater matches his robe. :) You guys are super cute even in the hospital. Know that your family in Long Beach is praying for you.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or is Jon's crooked smile kind of hot? Charm. For. Days.
ReplyDeleteStill praying for you—increasing strength, maximum patience, surprising joy. Love you both. Thanks for letting us ride this out with you, even from afar.
LOL! I read your comment to Jon. He said you're sweet. ;)
DeleteThe day before surgery, I posted a prayer asking God to save Jon's face because he doesn't have much going for him besides his good looks. Prayer answered.
DeleteHe's sleeping now, but will love this too. ;)
DeleteWow! So exciting! Continuing to pray for your family, and praising the Lord for His faithfulness! Love you guys.
ReplyDeleteAbove is Aly H., BTW. Not sure why it's calling my Unknown. Unless it's referring to my undiscovered genius.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!! I feel like the parent that misses their child taking their first steps and how exciting that can be. Excellent...so glad you're having a good day. Will miss visiting with you but know you're on my mind. Love you lots♥
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome. Praying without ceasing.
ReplyDeleteThis is AMAZING, Dee! We are rejoicing with you and continuing to pray for his recovery. Love you guys so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat's that thing I've heard... something about His power being great in our weakness? I mean, LOOK AT HIM! Love you both so.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!! Jon you have the best cheerleader in the world! God is using you both in ways you'll never know. Praying for continued miracles!!!
ReplyDeletepraying my heart out for you!
ReplyDeleteKaty, I stopped by home to shower today (note the outfit in the pic that I wore for 3 days straight.. LOL!) and picked up our mail. I got your gift and we were both so blessed. Thank you for sharing your talents with us! We are so grateful!
DeleteSo glad I've found your page so we can see how handsome you are Jon. Been praying for you since we found out you had to have the surgery. Praise The Lord you are looking great! Our prayers are with you to heal so you will be just like new! God Bless you..
ReplyDeleteDeanna...words cannot express our shock as Cheryl filled us in over our last Disney breakfast. You and your family never left my thoughts and prayers during our 21 hour ride back to Illinois. You are such an inspiration! I pray for a full, fast healing (for Jon) and patience and energy (for you as a mother). God does have you both in the palm of his hands. Prayers will continue for you, Jon and all your babies as this journey continues...from Illinois!!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I can't imagine how shocked Cheryl was. I felt so badly that she was out of the loop. :( But glad she got to enjoy the vacation! :) Thank you for your prayers! Hope you guys had a blast together!
DeleteDeanna, I'm friends with Stacie Cirualo and she told me about your husband the morning of his surgery. I was praying for him while I swam that a.m. at the gym and will continue to do so. As a Mom with three young children whose husband has had much, much less serious health issues (but which were exceptionally scary at the time), I can only imagine the array of fleeting emotions you're enduring. Know that a Redwood City family will be praying for you, Jon, and your kids through this journey of recovery.
ReplyDeleteMay the God of Hope fill you with joy and peace as your trust in Him, so you may overflow with Hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

LOVE you guys so much! You are both an inspiration in this experience. To God be the Glory.
ReplyDeleteFreaking awesome!
ReplyDeleteJon and Deanna, I'm praying for you as you begin walking - again, physically; and anew, in this journey. Praying the only way I know: for God's incomprehensible peace (i.e., a peace that doesn't make any sense); for his miraculous healing touch; for grace and strength in the long todays and longer tomorrows; and for new visions and understanding of just who this God is that you serve - that you would be able to say, with Job, "my ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you."
ReplyDeleteSo very exciting!!!!
