jarron update (tuesday)

i was able to talk to jarron again this morning. he is still currently in the icu. they are hoping to move him out of icu sometime today.

they are still really concerned about the blood around his brain. it is causing him to have really bad headaches.

he actually said that the only thing on his body that didn't hurt were his legs. they were able to get him to walk to a chair last night (with some assistance) he was able to sit up for a while. this however, did wear him out pretty quickly.

he isn't getting a lot of sleep in icu... the lady beside him keep yelling instead of paging the nurses...

they are still continuing to monitor him and do plenty of exams. he is still on a liquid diet, jello is the only solid (if you could call jello a solid) that he has eaten.

as most of you know, we are trying to raise money to get jarron a new bike... "buck for a bike" we appreciate everyone's concern and support and prayers for jarron and our family.

in lieu of flowers or gifts sent to his hospital, we are asking everyone to donate to the "buck for a bike" fundraiser...
please send donations to

thanks again to everyone!
