Johnny G. - Jonathan's Recovery/Health

I have already sent this message in a text to many, and I want to get it to as many as possible as quickly as possible:

We visited Jonathan last night at the hospital. He has awakened from the coma!

There is still a long way to go, but he was able to follow simple commands to make tiny movements, such as blinking his eyes very slowly. He recognized our voices and he cried when we held his hands and spoke to him. He still can’t see us, but he can hear us. 

Again, he still has a long way to recovery, and we assured him that people are praying for him all over the country.

We rejoice and give thanks for everyone's prayers. 🙏❤️🙏

Nathan N. - Dad PTG

"Dad passed away today.

He was always looking for new people to meet or community and music groups to get involved in. It was sad to see his capacity for that dwindle the last few months, while his determination never faltered.

I am so grateful for the time we had with him, and that he got to spend with the kids. I am especially thankful for Niki, a rockstar as always, taking point on his care."

Looks better right now, just a light pink color due to the fluids they pushed through my urinary system but it is getting darker again as time is passing. I really appreciated the prayers, could still use a few more, so we can get some answers."
