My Son Jonathan

It has been a week that I will never forget.  My son Jonathan was rushed to emergency for a ruptured appendix.  It was bad, his intestine were ruptured and there was a lot of toxic material in his system.  The day after the surgery was not bad but that night his lungs partially collapsed and he had fluid in the left one. They wanted to take him to ICU and on a ventilator I did not want that for him and I could see he was scared too.  The next 48 hours were rough and between the medicine and Jonathan working hard on the breathing units it changed and he was getting better.  Friday night they took the oxygen out he was able to breathe on his own.  He is home now and thinking he is better and it's hard explaining to him he is not out of the woods yet.  I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your prayers, good wishes and love.  Deep in my heart I know it was all the prayers you sent our way that helped Jon and for that I will be eternally grateful.  We still have some work ahead of us and still in need of prayers.  So thank you all so very, very much.
