I am so sorry it's been so long since my last post. It is hard to find the time to write about Jo's progress, there is so much to be thankful for, he is amazing each day...
Jo is making amazing progress in his recovery. Beating the odds with every small improvement. It can be difficult to watch him struggle to get his body to react, but it is all worth it to see his smile when he finally gets it! We have so much to be thankful for. Jo's nurses, his therapists, his angel and prayer warriors, the amazing generosity of so many people that still continues to roll in. The See Ya' Later Foundation for the generous donation of a home generator for Jo's backup power in the event of an outage. All of our friends and coworkers who surround us with love, hugs, and a shoulder to cry on. Our amazing warm, comfortable, and newly decorated home. The Washington Brain Alliance for their counsel and case management. Without the support we have received we are certain we would not have made it. Jo has had so many good days we have lost count, but lately he needs our prayers. He has been very healthy, strong, and joyful a lot of the time but there are also times when we know he is just sad. He is tired of being in the bed, tired of not being able to do more, tired of pushing so hard. Sometimes using his "yes" "no" signs reveals he is no pain, doesn't need anything, he just answers "yes" when you ask if he is sad, and it is heartbreaking. We continue to be positive and let the Lord do his work. We know how string Jo is and know that no matter his frustration he will never stop fighting, and we will never stop believing his coming back to us, each day just a little bit closer. Jojobinks you are an amazing fighter and so many people love and care for you. It is amazing to think how far you have come the past few months. How much progress you've made, how hard you have worked to get there is inspiring to everyone! We know it isn't easy, we see you pushing very hard. Give yourself credit for all you've done, you are amazing! It's ok to be sad sometimes but don't dwell on it, God is with you and with his love you will be safe. We will be patiently waiting. We love you to the moon and back sweet angel, YOU'VE GOT THIS! I have not posted many pictures of Jo during his recovery, but if this doesn't brighten your day and lift you up nothing will!

My entire comment just deleted on accident so this will be short. You do not know me. I was friends with Kristy in high school, and have followed your family’s exquisitely painful journey to the best of my ability this year. My prayers for you and Jo, will never cease. Isaiah 43:2 comes to mind for yoh family, and (while commonly referenced), Isaiah 40:31 has Jo’s name written a over it. Constant prayers from Santa Barbara, Ca headed toward all of you. #nomatterwhat
