Remember those promised improvs? Well, it may be a little tasteless so skim and forgive if you are offended. The week that Jonathan spent in the hospital he worked very closely with a team of volunteers from Italy. The physician that came with the Italian group was an OB/GYN. One of the main problems that they were experiencing was the lack of stirrups to support the legs of the women. With a little clever thinking they found a few I.V. poles and tied the woman's feet with ace wrap bandages for support during a D&C. I don't know if I should be proud of Jonathan for coming up with the suggestion to ace wrap the woman to the pole, but deep down inside I'm sure she was thankful... at least the surgeon was.
Jonathan assisted Dr. Shepherd with a Z-plasty on the foot of a young boy that was malformed congenitally.
The Z shaped stitching was sewn by Jonathan following the surgery on the little boy's leg.

I am more than a little bit impressed Jonathan; what an opportunity for you to be of service at such a time of need. I am grateful for your willingness to go, and your willingness to let him, Amber. God bless your family.
