My life is so busy of late. Right after Jonathan's surgery I was able to keep everyone posted on his progress almost every night. Now that Jonathan is about back to 90% I have been focusing on getting our lives back on track. It was amazing how much everything in our house fell apart because of the extra demands on me in caring for a very sick spouse. Needless to say, I have not been able to write like I would have liked to.
Jonathan is doing great! He started back to work full days the Monday after Thanksgiving and was back into the swing of things pretty quickly after that. It probably took him about 2 weeks after going back to full days before he was able to do anything in the evenings other than sit on the couch. The kids are starting to see that Daddy is in charge - not Mommy. WHEW!!!! And Daddy is taking time to play with them again. They have really missed having play time with Jonathan, and it does my heart good to see them interacting. It is so true, we don't know what we have until it is gone - I am just so thankful ours was not gone just postponed for a time. We are so blessed.
Jonathan is scheduled for his first follow-up appointment on January 18th. He will have a chest x-ray, lab work and a chance to see our doctor again. Be praying that we will be a testimony to those we meet and especially to our doctor and nurse. I can't wait to see how He is going to continue to work.
