Jo has been doing great his first full day with Mom and dad alone caring for him. No Dr.s, no nurses, just the love and support of our friends and family. Jo has made it easy on us, basically the perfect patient. Uncomfortable for brief periods, but all in all peacefully resting.
Jo has had many visitors since he got home, it's nice to see his dear friends Jackson and Ashton have such easy access to him again. Each time they visited Jo opened both eyes and engaged them. He clearly is happy to have the visits and I'm sure a little frustrated by his current condition. Like most kids Jo loved the summer and I'm sure he missed being outside all day with his friends. We are blessed that they take the time to stop by and spend time with Jo. Mom and dad had full night care last night and we are both pretty tired. A small price to pay for being so close to Jo. Jo has to be moved and fussed with every 2 hours, so long spells of rest will have to wait for awhile, we've got this. If you've followed our posts from the beginning you would know that Jo's heart rate/ pulse have been an interesting learning for mom and dad. Jo's resting heart rate frequently is about 55-60 BPM. Last night he was so comfy he was less than 50 at a brief moment or two. Mom handles that better than Dad, and as I begin a small meltdown she simply reassures me that Jo is just resting, and reminds me how good he looks. She is right, he looks great! Jo is a champ in every way. He is on the road to recovery, one day at a time. He is amazing. Jojobinks we love you and miss your laughter so much. We are so happy you are home but still a little scared. We just don't want to mess up! So far so good, every day we get a little more comfort with you care. Stay strong and let the Lord heal you, and remind him to help mom and dad. We love you to the moon and back sweet angel, you've got this!

So glad you are home and resting with your family Jo. I love you buddy. Looking forward to seeing your eyes and giving your mom and dad huge hugs. You've got this, they've got this, and God's holding you all up. I wish I could jump over there right now, but I will try to be patient. Love, love, love you. ❤️

God has an abundant provision of grace, power and blessing for the deepest needs of every person. Whatever your needs might be, he has the power, love and compassion that you need in your unique situation. If you are overwhelmed with sorrow, he offers to embrace you in the darkness until the light shines through. If you are threatened to snap under pressure, he promises to renew your strength like that of an eagle. If the future looks uncertain to you, he promises to walk the road with you. If changes are unsettling you, he offers you the courage to work through them. No matter what situation you find yourself in, he comes to meet you to show you grace and to offer you his help.
