A quick, but important prayer need . . .

I just received a phone call of concern from my dad. He made an appointment this morning to talk with the doctor that is over the rehab facility at TGH. He spoke with him about Jonathan's condition and our concern for him being alone at night without family. Jonathan is still very much in need of constant care and attention as every day tasks he can not do by himself just yet. He's not yet fully aware and cognisant enough to know to call the nurse button when he needs help. We are earnestly trying to teach him that step. So, after the conversation with my dad the doctor said that he would review Jonathan's file and if he thought it was necessary then one person would be allowed to stay with Jonathan until it was no longer necessary.

At this point we are praying that one of two things takes place: 1) Either Jonathan's understanding and abilities progress enough so that he can do certain things on his own like call for the nurse, use the bathroom, or remain calm and understand he can't get out of bed or pull out all of his tubes and wires and why or 2) that we are allowed to stay with him in rehab until all that was stated above is true for Jonathan.

We know and believe that God is going to work this situation out one way or another. We are very concerned as you can imagine, and want only the best for Jonathan. So, please be in prayer for us. We thought that to some extent this matter was already taken care of, but learned today that is not necessarily the case. So, we are asking you to join us in conversation to the one who ultimately will take care of this entire situation beyond what is in our control. Thanks so much. We love you!
