Ahhh, Home Sweet Home!!

Hi everyone, its Kirstin again! I'm happy to report that I'm updating this blog today in an air conditioned home in South Carolina with a cup of sweet tea at my side! The short story is that we are safe and sound and back in the USA!

We landed in Greenville Sunday night at about 11pm, where an ambulance took Jonathan to the Greenville Memorial Hospital. He is in ICU there and doing great! In fact, I'm suprised they have him in ICU, because he really is in good shape now. He is totally lucid (as he has been all along) and his pain is well managed. He is due to have a cat scan this afternoon (MOnday) and the docs will talk about whether or not this 2nd surgery is really needed -- there's a chance he won't ahve to have it, which would be great. More updates on that as we get them.

JONATHAN'S CONDITION
He is fully alert and content -- and is now of course thrilled to be here. His left leg is getting more and more mobility he can bend it and move it pretty well, but of course no standing on it yet. He is still in bed, and sitting up just a little bit. The right leg is still struggling, but because he can move that foot so well, plus flex his hamstring and calve muscles, the various docs are very optimistic. Injuries like this take a long time to rehab and many people walk away just fine. Just not this week -- that is several weeks off, most likely. But the point is that he is in great shape for a full recovery. Time will tell, and we'll keep you posted.

His mood is great, especially since we were greeted at the airport in Greenville by his family and a couple of friends. It feels great to see familar faces, and that goes for me too! Also, Jonathan is in the hospital where Dr. Weathers, his aunt Debbie and his good friend Dave Coykendall all work! How good can you have it? Its great to go from a hospital where you can barely communicate with the staff to ask for toilet paper, to a hospital with 3 of the closest members of your posse on-site to look out for you!

We even took a few pics of them loading him onto the air ambulance, we figured that someday soon when he's dancing at a Widespread show, those would be good to look back on!

Gotta run, Ginny Coykendall is going to take me shopping for some summer clothes, since I only have things for winter in Peru. I'll have a cell phone a little later today, and you can still send notes to my email for Jonny, kirstinwilliams@ gmail.com. He loves your notes and pictures; keep them coming.

Thanks,
Kirstin
