With Laura supporting him by a belt in front, and the therapist guiding him from the back, the minute-long clip shows Jon going from his wheelchair to standing ALL the way up!
Everything in between is a sweet moment between a husband and wife, overcoming the battles they face, together. They kiss and whisper to each other as viewers watch and see Jon draw from his wife’s strength and vice-versa.
“One of the nurses told me yesterday he had seen many guys with similar injuries in recovery and at this stage many show signs of frustration, but the nurse said Jon doesn’t show frustration, but rather determination. That statement will forever stick with me.”
Laura says she’s never fully been able to comprehend that Jon’s injury is the most severe form of traumatic brain injury.
“I kept thinking, Jon is stronger than that. He beats the odds. Heck he is a Navy Seal. Nothing stops him.
And Jon is proving me right.”
