Support Jon Thomann
“If anyone ever asks you if you believe in God and His miracles, I really hope that you will say, of course…do you know why I do? His name is Jon Thomann and this is his story…” –Jon’s mother, Vicky Thomann

Jon has now been in four different hospitals over the last five months.

He is recovering and making great leaps, but everyday is a struggle, both physically and emotionally. Jon is learning to speak again, but is restricted in his progress as his tracheotomy tube is still inserted into his throat. In conversation, Jon is very attentive and aware, responding to all questions, usually with a “yes” or “no” response. His memory is intact as he can recall stories that friends or family tell. Currently, Jon is being cared for at an advanced nursing facility in St. Louis where he continues to progress in his recovery and inspire those around him.

Jon I pray for a speedy recovery and send you my best. You are a inspiration and give me hope. I will forward this story to friends and family. I recently have had a tragic event in my life my brother(who is a prop) has just recently suffered a severe neck injury when he was in a scrum and it collaspe. So after reading this story gives me hope that like you he will be walking the sidelines again in the future cheering on his fellow brothers.
