Tuesday, December 23, 11:40 PM

Today was another good day. Jonathan has been breathing on his own for over 24 hours! He's doing so well. He's coughing up a lot of not so nice stuff, but he's doing it on his own, and breathing just fine all the while.

Today they mentioned that his right eye, the one that received some injuries, was not, nor had they ever seen it responding. The left one on the other hand is always opening and closing, moving around, etc. They told us that this could mean that there was lack of oxygen to the brain which could have cause damage in that area. We just won't know until we get the results from the brain wave test they did recently. We are be living and praying that all sight would be restored.

Other than that - just more waiting. I'm in here now with Jonathan. I was away at work yesterday and today so i am enjoying my time with him now. Every one's expressed to us their condolences for having to spend Christmas in the hospital. . . we are so grateful to be here with Jonathan than mourning at home with a different outcome. God is so good and merciful to us.

Please continue to lift up Jonathan. Everything we have prayed for we have seen God answer. So, pray for it all!! Pray for complete Restoration of every organ, every nerve, all the tissue, the joints and bones. Name it all. Claim it all for Jonathan in Jesus name. I have gone from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet naming as many things as i could for God to restore to what He initially designed it to be. I believe we will see much more progress in the near future. I am praying for some type of communication with the family on Christmas. I believe it will happen.

Thank you all again for your prayers! I'll keep you posted as long as you keep on praying :)

We continue to hold Jonathan up in prayer, especially during Christmas.

Thank the Lord, he is off the respirator!

Lord heal that one eye which is in question...
