According to john

I just wanted everyone to know I heard from Uncle John's mouth that the tracheotomy is out, and he ' is doing better'. Thank God he was able to find the strength to overcome this obstacle! It was so surreal to hear Uncle John's voice on the phone after 5 weeks. It was by far the highlight of my day! I just feel so blessed to be a part of this great man's life, and I am sure we can all agree that it is such an honor to stand witness to the miracles God has shown us through John.

The plan is to move him to an acute rehab center tomorrow. We need to all say a prayer that the plans for rehab can continue without any complications. According to Uncle John, he has a new found appreciation for his own life and all of the small things it has to offer. What he doesn't know is that he has given all of us a new found appreciation and perspective on our lives. And for that we will be forever indebted to him, and we need to continue to walk along side of him as he moves forward on the path to complete recovery!

I wanted to remind everyone who is interested to click on the picture to the right and enter to win $7000 and help out our local hero along the way! Thanks again!!

  1. WHOO HOO!!! So glad to hear that this small step is a giant leap in your recovery. The french guy is in India but as soon as we come back from France (I'm meeting him there) we will stop by for a chat. Of course you will have to remember that your hearing is OK the frenchy just speaks funny.

    love to you all

  2. What a thrill it was to hear your voice today, John! So glad to hear from you and have you sounding so strong and, well, John-like! Hal and I think of you so often. If the weather ever warms up, you guys will be able to hit the links. And, yes, you can spot each other a few strokes. Is there a way to contact you besides the email? Hal would like to talk to you, if possible.
