There's not much to report tonight, just that he is continuing to rest. They still have him pretty heavily sedated. Although, this afternoon the nurse did get a response when she pressed on his fingernail and toe nails. So, he is responding as yesterday he wasn't do to the heavy medication. Tomorrow they are going to monitor him to see if they will be able to close the abdomen. That is the next thing they want to tackle. They say it's very important that they do that so the chances of infection diminish greatly. The plan is to do that either tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on how much the swelling goes down.
We continue to be amazed at God's hand in the situation. Just today after a little hospital research we found out that Tampa General is currently on the the best facilities for facial and orthopedic trauma - both of those areas are where the major injuries are on Jonathan. His face and leg/pelvis bone are the most severely damaged areas. Just another reason for amazement. We know that God has orchestrated every part of this. We see him working in each and every step. His faithfulness is being proven over and over again. Even this evening as we were in the cafeteria we spoke to one of the doctors that was originally on the trauma team when Jonathan was brought in. He said that while he was working on him, as with all of his patients, he was just asking God to help him and give him wisdom. God certainly was there with him!! One thing after another - all reinforcements of God's hand. We're so thankful!!

I saw Jonathan earlier and he looks alot better than he did previously. It was really tough for me to see him in the condition he is in compared to when I last saw him healthy and cocky :)
It is comforting to know that he has loving family around. I thank God for John because I belive we have been a blessing to each other.
I believe that through his accident and ordeal that God is not only using this to change and transform him but also all those whose lives Jon has been in contact with.
God is the potter and we are the clay and he is molding and making us into the image where he can use us to serve him. So what is unthinkable to man, is exactly the outcome God wanted.
Amen!!
Thanks so much for your prayers and coming out today. The sandwhiches are definitely gone already. The family says thank you! :)
Hi i saw Jonathan yesterday and i agree its hard to see him like that compared to him beating me up or blinding me with a flashlight! :-) It's hard to not love him he is an awesome person. Hes like superman! Well i am praying for him and so are my family members & church (Victorious Life in Wesley Chapel)! We thank god for his miracles and improvements. And we also praise in advance for his full recovery. God Bless you all as we are praying for you as well.
Rebecca thanks so much for taking the time to keep us updated. It's hard being so far away and unable to physically help. We are of course praying for Jonathan, all of you, and the doctors that continue to do God's healing work. Give Mom and Dad a big hug from all of us who wish we could be there.
