Big J's Day!

Today Jonathan turned 26. It really was just a regular day, he does not like for you to make a big deal out of his birthday. Me and little J spoiled him this morning, and brought his coffee to him in bed, and made him some pancakes. He was very happy with that. Of course he had to work, but after work his mom, dad and sister come over and brought a cookie cake...yummy!! So we just had a little get together. But what really sucked was he is sick, now he has what I did. Its just miserable to have. It lingers on forever!!!! I still have a very sore throat, and he does too. I'm just thankful that little J hasn't gotten as sick as we have.
So 5 years ago, Jonathan turned 21, well a 2 weeks before his 21st bday, he fell off a roof, 30ft down, hitting a A/C unit on the way down, and landing on a sidewalk. He shattered his wrist and dislocated his elbow, which happened on the same arm, his spleen was ruptured, and his lung collapsed. He also had a head injury but it wasn't as bad as the other ones he had. They flew him out to the nearest hospital that treated trauma like he had. Which was a 2 hour drive for me. It was the worst drive ever I couldn't even drive myself. My BIL drove me, thank goodness for that. I was a mess, and thankgoodness for Xanax...I would have never made it without both. Finally after waiting 7 hours, hearing nothing at all from the Dr. he finally came out of surgery and was doing ok. He almost died on them, but he made it through, if he would have been older, he would not have survied. I thank God everyday for him being here. Even though somedays, ok well a lot of days, I'm so mad at him, I could just squeeze him till his head popped off, I still love him with all my heart, and am very Thankful he survived the fall. He has had 14 surgeries since he fell. I can say that we have both learned from this, and its def. made us stronger. We are still dealing with it, they want to do another surgery on his arm. When will it ever end?
Even though I think about leaving him, and right now we are kind of rocky, I still love this man with all my heart, and I pray every night that things will get better!!
