Jonathans recovering very well!

Well it's been a long time since we have updated John's blog,sorry got caught up with trying to get back to a somewhat of a normal life.He continues to do well,had a few setbacks with his white count which was easier to deal with than before his surgery.Jonathan's appetite is the best it has ever been he came home at 88lbs he weighs 121lbs now and he doesn't tire out like he did before. He is done with cardiac rehab,back to work and is set up with a personal trainer Darrell Duran,he's been great with us.It's the Sunday after Thanksgiving sitting here updating his blog and as I am typing so many thoughts are going through my head.Some thoughts are why didn't I see the signs or did I just didn't realize they were signs,some thoughts are wow he really didn't look good at Easter,but Monday he said he didn't feel well my Momma instinct kicked in said something was wrong called Larry to tell him John was having trouble he said run him to Progress West it was faster than an ambulance so I did,heart/kidney failure never thought for one minute it was that.When they told us, we were floored,I remember my body trembling as I called family, I felt so cold inside.He was transferred to Barnes downtown and stayed two days in the hospital .That night Larry sent an email out telling everyone that he was headed down a rough road this next couple of months I thought he was crazy for sending the email out because I thought he was fine,little did I know he was sicker than we I thought. It was a very difficult road to watch your child go down,I am sure it has scarred him as much as it has us,still memories of the hospital days haunt Jonathan and us but as we watch him get stronger mentally,physically and his APPETITE gets bigger we get stronger as a family.Jonathan has done so well all docs are happy with his outcome,thanking the entire hospital staff , doctors,family,friends,and for the people who heard about us for all the support and prayers we received.If we didn't have the support we had ,mentally I don't think we could of made it through the hard times.Thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts especially the DONOR AND HIS/HER FAMILY.
