Thursday 10.00 p.m. Jonathan is still on the ventilator but remains stable. He is moving more, and both eyes are open. Not only are his eyes open but today his father thought he had eye contact with him. This afternoon one of the doctors said in a loud voice, "Jonathan, shake hands," and Jonathan raised his right hand! It was a lovely moment for his Dad to see.
Tomorrow morning, Mrs Rimmer and Samuel will make the journey back to Edinburgh. It is good that Samuel has been able to put in a few days at school. Now he is on holiday for a week.
The family are extremely heartened by the support that many people are showing them. A group of student friends of Jonathan have visited the hospital and there is now on the ward wall photos of a student outing that Jonathan took part in. This will be a talking point that can be used to talk to him and stimulate his memory in days to come.
A young friend from Bolton, Ben, made the long journey to Edinburgh to see and hear how his friend was doing.
Tonight, Philip, felt he could leave the hospital for a while and attended our mid-week service, where the folks were so pleased to see him.
Let us thank the Lord for all His goodness, shown in so many ways.
