Saturday, November 29th, 7:25 PM

The first surgery is over and done with. Jonathan came through amazingly. They weren't sure if they were going to be able to put the rod in his leg - that was the best case scenario, but were unsure of how he would respond to everything. The other option was for them to put the rod on the outside and then go back later and put it on the inside. They were able to do what they needed to do this time around and there were no problems reported. Everything seems to be going good. He's scheduled for his first surgery on his face tomorrow morning at 7:30. Still not sure if that's going to take place. If so they will be wiring his jaw shut as well as assesing the other problems and fixing what they can and what is most necessary.

We are continuously amazed at God's mercy and grace and wonderful faithfulness. As so many of you have done - please continue to pray. I know many of you have expressed your desire to help in any way that you can and truly - that is the most important thing and truly the only thing we need right now. We appreciate everyone so much and are so grateful for everyone's support.

Rebecca, thank you so much for taking the time to inform everyone as to how things are going... It is so encouraging to know that God is answering our prayers immediately. God is so faithful and we need not be surprised at His soverign hand. He loves Jonathan far more than we do, and I know how much you all love him....
I love you and will talk to you tomorrow. Please keep me updated as to how he is doing.
