Jonathan's Accident


(Jonathan and William after the accident)

Where to begin, since my last entry our whole world has been turned upside down. Jonathan went to Louisiana for a hunting trip and was severely injured in a boating accident on the way to the hunting camp. I won't get into all of the details of the accident, but it is truly a miracle Jonathan is alive. He broke both of his femurs in half, was life-flighted to Lafayette and underwent surgery for about 7 hours to put his legs back together again. We were in Lafayette for a week and then he was transported back to Houston in an ambulance. He is at the Texas Institute for Rehabilitation and Research in the medical center. We expect him to come home on February 2nd. We have a very long road ahead of us, but Jonathan should make a full recovery.

William is getting cuter and bigger by the day. My mom and step-dad dropped everything to stay with us in Lafayette. My mom would stay with the baby while I went back and forth from the hospital to the hotel. We have settled into our little routine now, William and I go to TIRR after his 10am feeding to have lunch with Jonathan and watch his therapy. William is a big hit at TIRR, everyone loves to see a baby (especially Jonathan)!!!

God has blessed us in so many ways. He has given me such a peace about Jonathan and definitely exhibited his supreme power to give and take life. We are just in awe of all of the miracles God has preformed and the true power of prayer and faith. To everyone that has been praying for our family, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!
