Friday, December 12, 9:25 AM

In the time span of just a single hour Jonathan's fever has shot up from normal to 102. While I was sitting in there he was trying to cough so the nurse had to suction from the trach. From that all kinds of mucus came through the tube, which is good tat she got it out, but not good news that it's down in there. That tube goes to the lungs and that's where they had pretty much ruled the infection was coming from. That is what's causing the fever, and that is the reason for the postponed operation. His lungs are very fragile. Although, the respirator has shown us that Jonathan is initiating his breaths more than the machine. Every time it's a red line instead of a green one that means that Jonathan took the breath himself. This morning was nearly all red lines!!

Please be praying that this infection gets cleared up shortly and Jonathan can have a restful weekend. They are hoping to have surgery on his pelvis Monday or Tuesday, but can not give us any definite date right now due to the current issues. We are believing all will be well so that they can proceed with the surgery. We know God is Jehovah Rapha - the Lord that healeth - and we believe that for Jonathan.


*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.*

Dear Lord,

Reach down and touch his broken body, give his family the grace and strength to continue to pray and grant Johnathan a holy visitation so that he may know your will for his life and that he may detect your Presence
