On Memorial Day, Jon suffered a massive stroke at the age of only 44. He underwent a highly risky brain surgery that day to remove the clots, and against all odds, he survived.
The next week and a half were spent in the ICU where they determined that the stroke affected his brain stem, which means a wide variety of basic body functions may be impacted. Jon is a fighter and has made some good progress with moving his arms, legs, hands, and feet; opening his eyes; and eventually re-learning to breathe on his own. There have undeniably been miracles and blessings, and an outpouring of love and support, but there is still a long road ahead.
