Johnny,

Mom has spent all day with you. I'm sure she feels like I do right now...we have waited so long for you to have the surgery and now that it's here, I'm scared. I know this is the best shot you have at furthering your recovery and I have faith that the right decision was made. I'm just scared...I don't want you to be in pain. You have been through so much Johnny and you deserve this! You deserve for it to go right! You deserve for it to be a success!

I'll be praying for you tonight and tomorrow. I've sent out prayer requests for you. I have faith that your name will be lifted by many. I'll be praying for the doctors and nurses performing your surgery and taking care of you. I'll be praying for the ambulance driver and the paramedics. I'll be praying that your body accepts the foreign materials in you. I'll be praying that your recovery is fast and pain free.

I love you Johnny! xo Jen

Mom said that she took you outside to do some birdwatching today. Then she took you to the 2nd floor for therapy. You ate chocolate pudding and strawberry applesauce.
Mom said that your not running fever so we're ago for surgery tomorrow. Mom also said that she gave you a spiral and pen to draw with and when you were done, you took your pen and stuck it into the spiral...that is absolutely amazing! We take the ability to do these simple tasks for granted! I'm celebrating with you Johnny...you are amazing!
