We have decided to start a blog about Jason, so that family and friends can keep updated and current with Jason's condition. I (April) will be posting entries weekly to inform all of you about Jason and how he is doing. We hope that this blog will be a great way to show Jason how much he is loved and appreciated by his family and friends. Not only do my parents need support but Jason. Please comment as you wish and enjoy reading about Jason's progress. We can all help by praying and thinking positive of Jason daily. Jason is currently in San Leandro at Kindred Hospital where Long Term Care patients go. He is being watched by Dr. "Mom", nurses, and a neurologist. He has not "awoke" fully yet and will not until they feel he is ready to get off more pain meds. Until then, he has opened his eyes, and is getting physical therapy to help him. "Patience is a virtue" and with Jason all we can do is wait. Thank you for your love and support!

This is a good idea April thanks for setting this up. Thanks to everyone who has helped my parents in the last month during this tough time. It looks like Jason's recovery is going to be a rather lengthy one, but as long as he recovers that's all that matters! Just wanted to let Jay know how much we love him and we'll be there for you through everything bud! Love, Michael & Lisa

Dear Leach fam-
You ALL continue to be in our thoughts and in our prayers as you endure this journey of hope of love and of patience. Please know you are not alone and that God is in control.
"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalm 51:8-12 Feel God's presence right now in each of you, He is with you.
I also want to thank you April for putting this together as a wonderful way for us all to stay in touch. You are an awesome family. Much love to you all,
Barbara
P.S. Jason, honey, it's time to start waking up!
Hi all,
Thanks so much April for setting up this blog. Your parents have been so king in keeping us all informed on Jason and how you all are doing. I think about Jason everyday and pray his positive progress continues. You're all in our thoughts and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to call.
Love, Chenoa
Dear Ones,
All our prayers and love to you all. The other "Hunter Clan" has you in our prayers and thoughts... from New Zealand to Tahoe. How wonderful of April to set up this special place for us to tell you how we love you and Jason. While Jodie and John are not "internet saavy" we will keep them up to date as well.
Please don't hesitate to call/email if you need anything!
All my love,

J,
Will see you this friday. Hope your "PT" is there ;). You have an awesome team taking care of you!!
Mike, Jill, Jason and family,
We want you all to know that our family prays for all of you daily and we know that right now Jason is in God's hands. May all those who care for him be guided by His hands and by His love.
Jason- you have a strong spirit and we know you can make it through this.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help any of you. We love you all,
Terry & Monica Jones and Family
Wow, how wonderful is this- all the support; family and friends on his side making his recovery so special and encouraging. Although I don't personally know Jason, I do know April and Jacob and he couldn't have a nicer, sweeter, and more encouraging group of people fighting for him. I would definitely wake up as soon as I could knowing what is on this side! We love you guys and are thinking about you. Love, casey and amanda weir
Thank you, April, for doing this! Our prayers and heartfelt wishes are constantly with Jason and the family. Jill & Mike are having to endure something we could never imagine as parents...but I hope they know they will never endure alone and without our steadfast support. And my boys have already called dibs on taking their cousin Jason out to his first steak dinner! Much love and gentle hugs to Jason....I will be seeing you very soon! Aunt Penni
Dear April, Mike and Jill,
First off, thank you April for being so sweet to keep us updated like this. Jill & Mike are enduring something that as parents, we could never imagine. Certainly a nightmare which you desperately want to wake up from. But I hope they know they will not be enduring alone and without steadfast support from SO many people. Our thoughts, prayers, and wishes are with your family every moment. I look so forward to seeing you next week, Jason!! You know I'm not much of a talker, so it would be WONDERFUL if you would keep up your end of the conversation :) I'm sending you all my love and gentle hugs. And big bear hugs to the rest of the family. Aunt Penni
Jason, Just wanted to let you know we think about all the time. We pray for your recovery daily. We love you.
Rob and Alicia
Dear Leach Family,

We love you all!

I am up here in the middle of Puget Sound with Mom (Jodie) and we send our love and lots of contined prayers to Jason and the whole clan. He's strong and healthy and I believe he will amaze us all! Much love, Wendi Hunter Mangiantini and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jason and your family, Jill. Reading these comments of prayer and love sent to your son is heartwarming. We will hold your son in our prayers, cousin, with love from Texas..the other Hunter clan..Jeff, Anja, Joshua and Jacob
Hey April,
This is a wonderful blog that you created to help keep us all informed. Plus a way to keep a journal for Jason.
Jay Bird,
Know that Jim, Shaun and I are praying and thinking of you daily.
We all came to see you a week after your accident to personally give you hugs and best wishes. Plus to give your Mom & Dad a big supportive HUG.
We would be there again soon to visit you, but I have been down in Los Angeles at Cedars Sinai Hospital with my parents. My Dad had a major surgery on July 14th and is still in the hospital but doing well and hope to come home soon.
We pray for the day your Mom and Dad can bring you back home too.
We Love you very much,
Jim and Sandy,
Shaun & Dukie Dog too
April, thank you for doing this blog. ♥ Rachel

From Florida:
Jason - we haven't seen you since you were a very small boy; at that time you were the light of your Great Grandma Hunter's life. Reading about you today, it sounds as though you have continued to be that light for many others. We wanted you to know that you have family, across the country, who are keeping you in thoughts and prayers daily. We just know you will come through this. With love
from your "great" aunt and uncle -
Judy and George.
P.S. Thanks to April for setting this up, and our love to your Mom and Dad (Jill and Mike) as well.
Leach Family,
Thanks for the update on Jason's progress. All to often once our patients leave the ICU we seldom hear how they are healing up. Yes this a very long road but Jason is young and healthy and strong. Will keep in touch for updates. Take care and god bless you all.
