John, the info is in the facebook group, but I can't get it to cooperate right now - I think facebook is having issues:

Did a repeat of last Sunday--must be working--will keep it up. My sister is a speech pathologist and I told her what was in your report. Her reply "F-----g Great!" Thought you needed to hear that. Will keep sending prayers and good vibes your way. Alex

My older sister was never much on words---always very clear. She has been retired for quite some time. I heard that she was damn good at her craft. To give you a picture of where she is at, Her pride and joy is a 66 GT-350.

11/18:
11:30am - Jon, Lori and I joined a group of other patients for some music therapy in rehab this morning. We all had instruments to play and sang along to "Deep in the Heart of Texas" and "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore" with different variations on the lyrics. When asked for volunteers on lines for the song, Lori suggested "We are all blessed today". When Jon returned to his room for lunch and rest, his former coworker and friend James from TIGI came to visit. Jon was dozing off and sleepy after his morning therapy and seemed worn out. The doctors/patient conference with us was scheduled for 12:30 today. Lori recorded it so that I can update the details later once I return in the evening. via: Penny I particularly like this bottom one: Lori Broom: jon got botox today in his arms and neck. takes about 2 weeks to work. he will have surgerey on his ankles friday and will have cast on both legs. this is good, it helps them to learn to walk. again, what a beautiful day we are so blessed.3 minutes ago Lori Broom good: morning my son. today is a beautiful day. haven't seen you yet, your in therapy. we have a conference today with the team of dr. carlile to discuss what comes next. i love you jon jon! |

More from yesterday:
6:00pm - Jon had several visitors this evening: family, coworkers and even a racing acquaintance were all with him at the same time. He was receiving a humid treatment through a mask that helps moisturize his mouth since he has been accumulating a lot of bacteria and dryness. He was very active, kicking his leg as usual and moving his right arm. We noticed him moving his left arm a little more today, even though it's still clenched up to his chest. He had received a Botox treatment to his neck and arms around 2:00pm to help relieve the spasticity. We should see gradual results within 2 weeks from now. The details of Jon's doctor conference today: they gave him Botox. He will get surgery on both of his ankles this Friday which will prepared them to be put in casts. The surgery and the casts will help Jon walk and stand up when he starts this part of rehab. Dr. Carlisle said he is making slow, but gradual progress and she is happy with his path so far. via: Penny |

11/20:
2:00pm - Jon was in his wheelchair and alert when I came to visit. He had a gentle smile on his face and a loving, calm look in his eyes. The physical therapists came to do his daily routine of "standing up". They put him on a special table with restraints and a foot stand that mechanically tilted up. They gradually got Jon up to a 70 degree angle and held it for about 5-10 minutes. This process helps his body get used to being vertical again and encourages the natural body circulation and muscle retention. The therapist told Jon about his upcoming ankle surgery on Monday and told him the first two days may be painful, but they will be giving him medicine and let him have a couple of days off from physical therapy. Jon received a MRI this morning to determine if they can remove his neck brace or not just yet. Jon's next appointment was with the occupational therapists when I left. 7:00pm - Jon has been more calm than usual and in a good "mood" all day. I noticed he had more emotion in his eyes: they were wide and big with alot of love and adoration for his mother and I. They looked curious and innocent. He would just stare with his eyes. He didn't say any words for me tonight although he was moving his mouth and giving us a small smile. He looked very good; his skin was fresh and not sweaty as usual. I laid next to him and watched tv with Lori. She said that he moved his left leg a little bit for the first time today in physical therapy. He also has started moving his head a little more to the right (it had been to the left side most of the time). His body is responding better and adjusting to his routine therapy. He is doing great. |

Looks like some serious progress here. Heard about a monastery in Missouri which has prayers going 24/7. I`m going to check them out and see if I can get Jon on their agenda. Looks like a good deal to me--will still keep our congregation praying. I figure it should do some good. I always liked a real blitz. I am really not some religious fanatic--but when I had cancer, a lot of people prayed for me. I have been cancer free for five years and am convinced it was all these people sending prayers. I will definitely continue to launch a "prayer blitz". I believe we will see results. I just can`t stand by--got to do something---and this seems to be a good way as any. I do believe in prayer. Hang in there Jon.

Alex that sounds like a really good idea. We feel so helpless when the only thing we can do is send our thoughts and prayers.

Lil One, I know where you are at, and it is a sort of helpless feeling. I do believe in prayer--so that`s where I am putting my emphasis. I do feel a certain kinship to Jon because in my younger years I raced sports cars with great sucess and was cognicant that euphoria can change to disaster in the blink of an eye. I really want to see Jon get through this.

11/22:
4:00pm - Jon still has a temperature sitting around 101-103. His latest x-ray shows that his right lung is partially working-it is not inflating 100% when he breathes. When they weighed him this afternoon, it was 127 lbs when his last reading was around 133 lbs, His ankle surgery that was scheduled for tomorrow is currently postponed until further notice until he is more medically stable. He is still on antibiotics and pain medication. Jon has been vocalizing more today in a clear voice: most of it is word salad but sometimes he says full words and phrases. When Lori asked if he was hurting or in pain, he said "a little bit". He also has been moaning and yelling out. This is probably due to his pain, confusion and brain injury, however this is considered normal. His parents got him small Nerf footballs to hold on to. He's been reaching for them with his hands when they ask him to. They've exchanged out his collar with a soft collar and he is relaxed and resting at the moment. |

11/23:
11:00am - Lori said they are going to go ahead with Jon's ankle surgery this morning. He will be back at Baylor Rehab this evening. More updates later. 6:00pm - Jon's surgery was a success and he now has two casts on both of his lower legs. He is asleep from the medication and his vital signs were stable. |

11/24:
12:00pm - Jon was very alert and talkative today. He would answer "Yeah" to questions like "are you feeling ok today?", said "Tuesday" when Lori asked him if he remembered what today was, asked me "How long?" (assuming he was asking about how long he was out in a coma/how long he's been in the hospital/how much longer will he be there) said "Outside" when we were talking about the fall weather and said "Love ya" when I told him I loved him. When I asked him to grab for my hand, he lifted up his right hand and pushed his fingers in between mine. I told him I had to go back to work and he said "Ok". He still speaks phrases that are jumbled or doesn't make sense, but he is making fast progress on communicating what he feels, wants and thinks. via: Penny |

If the person you want to call you is a member you might want to send them a private message with your # and delete it from this post. When you put it out like that there is no telling who might call you. Just a suggestion.

I was sitting at the DFW airport today wondering how far it was to visit Jon. Im visiting some friends at UT and A&M for the week.
Sounds like he is making great progress. Everyone is pulling for you buddy, and you are surpassing our expectations for recovery. Posted via Mobile Device |

11/26:
12:00pm - My parents came into town and we visited Jon and his family. He was getting lifted in his wheelchair so that we could take him outside for a little bit. He was talking to us and seemed to enjoy the sun on his skin. He had a blanket to keep him warm from the cool breeze. He even "bumped" knuckles with his younger brother Dusty. We took him around to see the aquarium fish in the rehab room and he seemed to enjoy his time with all of us. via: Penny I'm hoping he'll make a full recovery, he doesn't exactly seem like an inactive type of guy. I can't imagine that kind of thing happening. |

We are definitely seeing progress. What impresses me is that he is oriented--recognizes family members, knows what day it is, etc. This is really great news! His progress has been amazing. Will keep the prayers coming.

I am very encouraged by Jon`s progress. This past week has marked a whole series of gains. Tomorrow is Sunday--will do another "barrage" of prayer. Let`s keep this trend going. Before you know it, Jon will be out of the woods. Just dealing with some very accurate second hand information---it sounds like we are through the worst of it, Barring complications, we should see some steady--possibly slow, progress.

11/28:
9:00am- Jon had just woken up and said "good morning" when I greeted him. I asked him if he knew who I was to which he replied "PennyKim". This is the first time he's been able to say my name clearly, and his nickname for me no less. He was dozing off and on most of the early morning and protested when I changed his Saturday morning cartoons on the tv. via penny

I have been cautiously optimistic about his recovery, but this news is just amazing. I am so happy for Jon and everyone else close to him...when he has recovered we would love to get some video updates from him...
