Tuesday, December 16, 2008

I got a phone call from dad, as I had to work today. He asked if I would write here to ask everyone to pray specifically for a few things. At present Jonathan's heart rate and blood pressure are climbing and getting pretty high. He's also started to cultivate a fever. This has been going on pretty much all morning. The more he becomes aware - the more his heart right and blood pressure rise.

He hasn't been able to get any nourishment. His body hasn't responded well to the feeding tube that is going down his nose at present. The head trauma doctor wants to do a cat scan to see if it would be possible to put the feeding tube directly in the stomach. However, they aren't going to move him while his vitals are so high. So, please be praying for peace for Jonathan and his body to calm and level out. We can't imagine all that he must be feeling physically and emotionally as he wakes, but God does. Please agree with us that all will be stable and well shortly. We will keep you updated on his progress, and as always - thank you for your prayers.

I will continue to pray for Jonathan. He is truly missed here at work. Several of us will be attending his father's church this Sunday to show support for the Newman Family. I would love to see all his caring and loving friends this Sunday at 10am.

Love you Jonathan

This is the RR gang in Blairsville dropping in to let you know we cried when we read Rebecca's MRI report. God is so faithful to hear our cries. We check in many times during the day for updates. Thanks Rebecca. It keeps us tuned into the current prayer needs for your dear Jonathan. Kelly and I are going to Kansas City IHOP for 4-day conference with 15,000 young adults. We will continue to cry out for Jonathan while we are there touching heaven together. We love you all and know God is going before you as a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night... guiding the way step by step. Be strengthened by our love and His love. God's plans are mighty and good. He holds you in His arms as He does Jonathan. May your anointing oil refresh you daily and spill all over Jonathan. Rebecca, I love you so much as I have gotten to know you on these blogs. Loving your Mom so much, I feel and see her in you. You are so special to our hearts here at RR. Someday we hope to meet you. I have a great pic of you and your Mom on my prayer board which is above my computer, so I'm looking at you right now. Jesus has great plans for you! Be blessed and encouraged. Keep looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. All those scripures we have learned through the years have become living promises we hold onto for you all. Lovingly, Joann, Donna, Jeanne and Kelly xoxo
