Last night was a rough night for Jonathan and for my mom who stayed in the room. Please pray that tonight Jonathan gets rest , and that as he continues to become more aware that he will not also become more agitated. His heart rate is still pretty high , and they've still got his restraints on and have had to tighten them a bit because he keeps getting closer and closer to the trach and other tubes. The nurses told us that this is completely normal and restraints have to be used on nearly every patient in ICU at some point. We are just praying that his responses will not be as dramatic as the nurses have warned us they would - that God would give him peace and take away the discomfort of all of the tubes and such. We're praying for an understanding and a knowing that he is OK, that his family is here with him, and that God has him in his hands.
It's difficult for all of us to see him in such discomfort and frustration, but often there's a struggle before there's progress. So, we're believing that. Please be in prayer for peace as well as his vitals to level out. Thank you so much.
To all of those that have taken or received clothes for the prayer quilt - please turn them in as soon as possible. With so much work needing to be done, the sooner Megan can get started the better.

I'm praying with you guys tonight. Love you all!
We speak peace to the entire family right now, that the God of all comfort will be with each of you not to just sustain you, but to bring you to a place of high victory in Him. That God will take you to a place of rest in the midst of trouble. WE pray that God himself will be a supernatural pain relief for Jonathan...something that goes far beyond what any pain medication could offer.
We love you all.
Jessica -
Thank you for all of your prayers, love and support through all of this.
Mrs. Lennette -
Thank you on behalf of the family and my mom especially. Your notes of encouragement do just that. Thank you for believing with us for Jonathan's healing and restoration.
We are praying that God will give Jonathan the peace, strenght & comfort he will need to get through this. Also, that his blood pressure & heart rate will stabilize.
God has answered all our prayers so far & we believe He will continue.
We are also praying that He will continue to bless you & your family with the health & strenght you will need, to be there for Jonathan.
Pete & Maria
