Christmas, 9:45 PM

It's Christmas and reasons to rejoice are evident. We've been here at the hospital with Jonathan all day, just like very other day. Rachel and I were up until very early this morning making Christmas dinner to bring up to the hospital today. We had Christmas dinner up here and opened the presents we had for each other.

Jonathan was in a very deep sleep all day long. We were in there all day with him trying to get him to wake up and respond, but it seemed that he was just too tired to bother. Just about an hour ago all of the family went in there together to let him know we all love him and were there. We prayed with him, even though he was still sleeping. A little while after he started moving his legs a bit and his hands. We started talking and asking him to do things on command and he did. It was little movements, but movements on command nontheless. It seems that he's starting to wake up more as the night draws to a close. So, hopefully as I stay in the room with him tonight i will get my answer to prayer - that he will be able to communicate in some way. Even a squeeze of the hand for a yes or no would be all the Christmas I need!

Thank you to everyone for your Christmas wishes, gifts and comments. We love you all and appreciate all of your love. We hope everyone had a great Christmas with their families and loved ones. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night :)

Love you and the family. Our prayers are being answered one by one. As we celebrate the Lord's birth we can also celebrate the healing of Jonathan. Merry Christmas sweetheart.
