At least he is receiving his care at a facility with quality resources for trauma
care less than a mile from Delaware Park.

Our prayers for his speedy recovery and hopefully no further complications with his injuries especially that associated with his head injury.

Word this morning is Jones slightly improved and brain surgery does not appear necessary... but still in very serious condition.

Best wishes for a complete recovery.

Still a long road ahead of him, but not needing surgery is very good news.

Best wishes to Mr. Jones.
