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

On June 21st, 2008 Jon Thomann, a former member of the Jefferson City Rugby Club, fell down a flight of concrete stairs at a friend’s cabin suffering a serious head injury.  He was taken to the local hospital, from where he was flown to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis for imaging and care.  Upon arriving at Barnes-Jewish, Jon’s CT scan showed that there was a large clot forming and pressure building on the right hemisphere of his brain. Surgery was performed immediately to remove the clot and relieve pressure on Jon’s brain.

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.
