Doctors say it is a Mirical how well Jonny is doing he is home and able to walk, Thank you for your prayers.
P.S. What jonny had was called Tranverse malitis (I think thats how it's spelled)
A very close family had been sick for a little while and Jonny M. just seemed to be sick with the same bug that was going around with his brothers and sisters, but just wasn't getting better. Then his right leg lost feeling and was paralyzed so they took him to the hospital. Doctors don't know what's wrong, but it's since moved to his spine and they're life-flighting him to a bigger/better hospital in Anchorage. Also pray for his parents and 9 siblings.... especially his Mom who is due with baby number 11 real soon!!!
He apparently has a 4 inch section of his upper spinal cord that appears quite inflamed on MRI. His dad says there hasn't appeared to be any progression overnight. Jon is breathing fine and can move his arms, but he is in Peds ICU being watched closely in case any numbness or paralysis moves up. It's very serious so keep praying for them.
Pray that God's will be done, and that his name will be honered no matter what.
He is 8 years old.

As of last night Jonny was doing quite a bit better, but they are not sure if it was just the steroids that the doctors had givin him, so they are going to continue to watch jonny to make sure that he does not go into relapse.
