if you pray, pray for Jonathan

I really should have posted this much earlier, but I'm doing it now...

last week my dear friend's son, Jonathan, had a very serious bike accident. he was just being a kid and he didn't make the jump he was trying and he fell, badly. his nose was broken and pushed into his skull, his brow had to be reconstructed and he also has fractures on the back of his skull. he was flown to Rochester and kept in a coma for the first few days. the surgeons removed two pieces of his skull to allow his brain to swell. we all wait with bated breath for any news.
we have all prayed and spread the word and all of our friends and family have prayed and we continue to do so.

he is improving. he comes in and out of being awake and sleeping. they removed his ventilator and my friend got to hear him whisper "I love you, mom" last night. the sweetest music to all our ears.

but they still have a long road ahead of them. he is now fighting off a staff infection on top of it all. if you would, please add your prayers to ours. he needs them. he's a good young man, he's good to everyone. and it would be a wonderful miracle if he would get to heal completely and be the same old jonathan when this is all done.

why do I always do this? so many things have happened in the past two years.  I just feel so silly that I haven't kept up on the blog.  ...
