Monday, December 8, 8:45 AM

After such a long surgery yesterday, they tried their best to let him rest last night. Around 9:30 last night they were having a problem with a fever again. At it's highest it was 102.4! They determined that the fever, like most, could be from possible infection. We're unclear if there is definitely an infection or if they think there is an infection. Either way - they have given him antibiotics to counteract any possible infection. They are already seeing some movement as they took off the sedation to that they could assess his responses and such. They have put him back on sedation and are allowing him to rest today. Wednesday or Thursday is when they are talking about going into surgery for both sides of the pelvis. This would again be a 8-10 hour surgery. I will keep everyone posted and let you know when that will take place.

The main thing right now is getting rid of any possible infection. Please be praying that this round of antibiotics works and the fever subsides. His heart rate and blood pressure have also been a consistent issue as is expected with so many injuries, pain and trauma. We are praying that all would stabilize. Thank you all for your prayers - they are most needed during this time.



*They are still limiting visitors to family and clergy. If you decide to come to the hospital please be aware of that. There will always be some family in the ICU waiting room. All visitors should make there way there.*

We pray that today, God does exceeding abundantly more than you as a family and Jonathan could not only ask but even imagine. May jesus literally carry you all today bringing you a supernatural feeling of rest. We pray healing power all over Jonathan's body and your emotional and physical bodies as well. We pray that in the next 24 hours Jonathan will begin to improve so quickly that doctors can say nothing but "this must be God". As you continue to lay hands on Jonathan remember that when God taught us to pray in Matthew he said "Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN." That means we are supernatural not natural. There is no sickness or injury in heaven. The Lord said before exiting this earth, "greater things than these will you do as I go to the father". He healed the sick and the lame. This is our prayer for Jonathan today and for your family. Do it Lord!
