An update on our brother in Christ, Geoff Jones

Hi Everyone,

Geoff has been moved to hopefully his LAST facility before he comes home. Hartwyck in Edison. The visiting hours are pretty much the same, the room is smaller. Geoff is trying to acclamate himself to his new surroundings�trying to get to know the new nurses, etc�

One prayer concern I have right now is that this facility is motivated to help Geoff get back to his regular routine, going back to work, playing guitar, etc. There�s such a fine line between �sub-acute facility� and �nursing home�. Even though Geof is in the Brain Trauma Extended Recovery Unit, I want them to always remember that he�s not staying. One thing I can say is that Geoff is actually much better off than some of the patients I�ve seen so far.

A few other matters to pray for:

1) His right foot isn�t completely healed yet, please continue to pray for total healing

2) Geoff still has the trach tube because he�s coughing up secretions, please pray complete clearing of the lungs so that tube can be removed.

3) Pray that Geoff continues to tolerate the small amount of pureed food that eating during therapy. If so, then they will take out his feeding tube and he can start eating more real food.

4) Probably what�s almost as important as any of these is that his vocal chords need to become much stronger so we can hear him better, so he can tell us what�s wrong, what�s right, what-ever.

Geoff and I can�t thank all of you enough for your constant support and encouragement. Love you Lots!
