Almost 100%!!!
Lon is doing amazing, thanks to our God who does wondrous and marvelous works {Psalms 105:1-7. Lon's therapist states that Lon is 94% and climbing! Keep praying because we expect 100%.
He has been driving on the property and recently driving off the property with Melinda and the kids and doing extremely well. He was just freed from PT and OT and now only has speech therapy 2 times per week for the next 30 days, then they will reevaluate.
His meds were cut way down. PRAY that this is a smooth transition for him. He still gets very tired, so he is allowed to work only as much as his brain and body will tolerate. Which may mean 1 hour per day or maybe 2. And probably not every day. (We'll see!) He cannot work on roofs, ladders etc and has to wear a hard hat and not lift real heavy etc.. During his evaluation the Dr. said if "I hadn't read your files I wouldn't have known you ever had the TBI that you experienced".
The fire dept. benefit went real well and they were blessed with money to help pay some of their medical expenses.
Pray for their finances, that God will continue to provide for all of their needs. Also pray that his blood sugar levels out and becomes normal.
God is Amazing. He is a good God, all of the time. Remember to give Him all of the praise. He has answered our prayers and he continues to answer them. THANK YOU all for your prayers!

News story!
Click above to see the news story and read the article about Lon.
Lon, Melinda and family are doing great. Lon is in therapy 4 - 5 days per week in Helena. His speech therapist recently said she thought he was at around 85% (in 8 weeks). Amazing! He brings home work home from most of his therapists and he is making steady progress. Lon had his first visit to his Chiropractor since the accident and he was adjusted from head to toe. He said he felt better afterwards. He is still on medication and also taking some natural remedies to help him sleep (and it's working great!).
Benefit information:
His fellow volunteers have put together a benefit with a dinner, raffle tickets, kids’ games and auction to raise money to help pay for some of their medical costs. The event is scheduled from 4 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 7, at the East Valley Fire Station on Valley Drive.
Keep in prayer, it works!
