Wed 7/27

Jon is almost ready to come home! All of his tubes and I.V.'s have been removed and he is transitioning from I.V., epidural pain medicine to oral pain medicine. I guess we didn't realize how much the epidural was doing!

He's very sore but still determined to walk and move (which makes his doctors very happy) and is looking forward to going home.

We still covet your prayers as he rests and recovers. We have seen God's mercies in so many ways, from caring and compassionate nurses to smiling parking garage attendants who give us encouragement each morning! Your cards, emails, phone calls and texts encourage and touch our hearts. Thank you!

Prayers requests:

Jon's pain will be manageable when he comes home

Strength and encouragement for Anne

Good appetite and freedom from any colds or viruses

Peace for Jon so he can fully recover his strength
