Long Overdue

It's amazing how quickly time can pass. I have been derelict in my duties of keeping this blog up to date. That will be rectified immediately.

Jon is doing amazing. Through your prayers, hopes and even your fleeting thoughts, he has been able to buck every norm. They told us he would be in the hospital for 3-4 weeks after surgery...he was out in 6 days after surgery. They told us that he would need his feeding tube indefinitely...he has had it out for over a week now and is eating on his own like a champ. He is an incredible testament to all that is amazing in humanity.

Our amazing family in the Hulk bootcamps at Anytime Fitness in Santa Rosa have come together to create a very special event to help raise money for Jon Michael's next surgery. As I outlined in a previous blog post, our out-of-pocket expenses for this next surgery are going to be (to us) astronomical. I would like to send a special heart-felt thanks to Joshua Cox, Jessiva Laventer and Tye and Bobbie Rivera for helping to organize the first of many events that will be held to help our family make sure that Jon Michael's care will remain unparalleled in excellence and modernity.

The event can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=209885999073721. If you are not able to make the event but want to donate, there is always a link up at the top of this blog that goes straight to The Jon Michael Martin Foundation.

Again, thank you to everyone for your love, thoughts and prayers. Our son will one day throw a party for all of you in thanks. Or...at least I will, and I'll let him know why he's paying for it. ;)
