In case you don't know who that name belongs to, it's my stepson, my late wife Linda's son. He inherited a condition from his father called Cardio Myopathy. His father died from it when Jonathon was only 12 years old.
Had it been an earlier year, it may have now been time for Jonathon to also fall victim to the disease, but the good Lord had other plans. Last Wednesday he received a heart transplant at the UAB hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. Thanks to modern medical technology and the sacrifice of a family whose loved one perished, Jonathon has a new lease on life.
Jonathon is growing stronger every day. He even joked about going to fire school to be re-certified as a fire fighter (his old job years ago). Please remember him in your prayers as he begins this new phase of his life.
