Jonas Paras Faith Believe

''Jonas Paras is our 7 yr old son, who has been a patient at CHKD, Norfolk VA, for almost 6 weeks now. He is recovering from bacterial pneumonia, but also suffered brain injury during his stay. He is in a coma. Jonas will be undergoing surgery to place a feeding tube in his stomach. Soon after surgery, we hope to bring him home rather than placing him in a nursing facility. Jonas will require special equipment at home. Equipment/care includes a special bed, intravenous supplies for his feedings, assistive devices to prevent contractures of his bones, special wheelchair, home health care, physical/occupational/rehabilitation therapy, vehicle adapted to transport wheelchair, etc...'' ''Jonas Paras is our "All-Star." He really shines. There is just so much to say about our son. He has bright eyes and a beautiful smile. Jonas is an awesome and cool kid!! He is a wonderful brother, grandson, cousin, nephew, and friend. He is well liked by others and is an excellent 2nd grade student at New Castle Elementary School. He loves math and reading. He has so much personality!! Jonas is kind, generous, thoughtful, funny, goofy, fun, competitive, determined--always wanting to win.'' ''Jonas likes to swim, bowl, roller skate, ride his bike, play all types of video games--especially guitar hero. Most of all he loves sports. He was a brown belt in taekwondo. He played soccer through NYSLVB for several seasons and would have played this spring season. Jonas was MVP this past flag football season with the Larkspur/Salem Recreation League.
