Sam Jonas Update: Good News

To All,                                           

UPDATE: Peter Jonas tells us that as of Tuesday Aug. 12, doctors have removed the ventilator tube that his son had been dependent on for several days in order to breathe. He's now breathing on his own after a bout with pneumonia. Peter writes in an e-mail: "Sam is breathing on his own. All his signs are good. He is so looking forward to eating some food."
Peter also thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers.


Here's the original post:


When I posted the news about Srs. A and B and otherMcCorry news, Jane (Jonas) Williams sent me an e-mail that her nephew, Sam Jonas, is hospitalized with pneumonia. Jane told me Sam is on a respirator and needs to be able to breathe on his own. Sam’s father, Peter Jonas, told me Saturday that Sam is improving more. They hope to take him off the respirator Sunday if he continues to improve. Sam, as you may recall, has been dealing with cystic fibrosis for many years. Prayers and other good thoughts are appreciated.
