Lee Lee Jones Update


Hi Joe,

Chris Melvin (LeeLee's Mom) would like for you to know how very much she has appreciated you posting our updates on LeeLee Jones. We were able to visit LeeLee Friday and the following is what came out of a very emotionally happy day for us. I have included another picture of LeeLee as well!

Thanks so much Joe!!


Today God revealed to me something I had never had the blessing to see first hand (thankfully I suppose). He revealed to me the incredible will of one 17 year old girl. A girl who brings sunshine to everyone all the time with her warm and wonderful smile and zest and passion for living. A girl who graduated with her Delmar Class of 2010 just one short and trying week passed. A girl who 72 hours ago was fighting for her life. A girl who is bound and determined to smile even when it is physically painful.

LeeLee Jones is nothing short of a miracle.

LeeLee has held converation with many people via phone today and welcomed many guests to her new "suite" at the awesome Christiana Care mansion. She has waited with eyes open for her boyfriend Cody to arrive and chatted the whole time. She has endured physical therapy on her very painful left arm. She has been up and walking.

She has defied the odds that were so heartbreakingly set for her just a few days ago.

She is a testament to what God wants from each and every one of us and I could only pray that I could ever be half as strong and courageous as this young lady is!!!

LeeLee is moving forward at a good pace in her recovery. Jesse has been by LeeLee's side today and they shared many tender moments....including LeeLee telling Jesse that she "would rather it be her than him". This sibling love is heartwarming beyond words.

Jesse continues to heal from broken ribs and a very sore body. Please keep him in every prayer as well.

Chris and Brian are hanging tough and it's so VERY apparent where LeeLee and Jesse get their wearwithall....seriously....they have an incredible momma!!!

LeeLee has an upcoming schedule of promised surgical repairs--beginning this Tuesday, per LeeLee herself-- and rehabilitaion and therapy for her arm...but I can assure....there is nothing that's going to hold this babygirl back.

Thank you God for the miracle that we call LeeLee....

She is truly unstoppable.

How is she doing? And how are the mom and brother holding up? I know the mom personally and I know she is going through a hard time right now.

Thanks for posting. Prayers are being answered. My daughter and I have been praying for her at bedtime even though we don't know her. Keep up the fight!
