Jon's Status

We created this site as a method to get information about Jon's condition to friends and family.

If you hadn't heard, Jon passed out last Sunday at around 10:00 a.m. His eyes rolled back in his head and he just collapsed. Amy immediately called 911, then turned him over and thinking it was a heart-attack of some sort, began doing chest compressions.

Minutes later, before the paramedics arrived, Jon came to, but had no recollection of anything that just happened. After the ambulance arrived, it happened again and Jon actually flatlined for about 15 seconds.

He was brought to Long Beach Community hospital where he was in the ICU. At first, tests did not indicate that he had a stroke. But then another test the next day indicated that it was in fact a stroke. Finally, a third test confirmed it was not likely a stroke, but could be encephalitis or meningitis.

Regardless of the cause, Jon has been somewhat mentally impaired. He has trouble putting complete sentences together and has trouble finding words. But besides that, he looks and sounds good.
