He Talks, He Talks!

Wow what a miracle it is to see the power of prayers and blessings can make in someone's life. Jason is making remarkable leaps and bounds in his healing progress. The doctors are amazed at his rate of progress; he is healing 99% faster than anyone else they have seen. Mini miracles are happening everyday.


He is walking....no, running laps around the hospital floor when they have him up to exercise. He's been nicknamed "Superman" and even has a "cape". He has moved out of the ICU and had two room changes since the last post. He is in just a regular recovery room now. I called down the other day to talk to Jan (Jason's Mom) and she and Jason were sitting out on the balcony watching the mountains and the cars go by. The most recent miracle is that he is talking again. They have downsized his trake tube which allows him to be able to talk again. They originally told him that he might be able to make some noise with his throat but not really be able to talk for a while......he sounds perfect. Jason texted Jon the other day and said "can talk again". Jon was confused so we called down there to talk to Rachel and got the perfect sound of Jason's voice instead. I didn't believe it at first, but it was him. Now his jaw is still wired shut and will be for a while we hear, but at Jason's rate of progress, maybe not as long as the doctors think. Jason is talking kind of like a ventriloquist, through clenched teeth. When I asked him how he is talking with his jaw still wired he replied, "my tongue still works!" Kind of....."like duh". He was only in the ICU for 3 1/2 days and he has been breathing on his own since Fri. morning. Simple miraculous! Keep your prayers coming. Thank you for the ones already offered.
