Friday we got to meet many firefighters who helped to save Jason life. One of them was a man who was not on duty that night. He was on his way to Memphis because his girlfriend's house was hit by the tornado. He was driving right into the tornado as he watched cars being picked up ahead of him. He immediately turned around and called him mother and grandmother to pray for his protection. He headed to the firehouse and warned the others of what was coming. He was there that night and he was the one who told us he had talked to Jason 20 minutes before we had arrived and that he was still living.
Another rescuer was a captain who thought with about 10 minutes to go before they got Jason out that he was about to go into shock. He kept hitting Jason's foot and getting him to respond. He thought Jason was quite irritated with him, but he wanted to make sure them kept him alert.
Another man was the captain in charge of that area. He was given the word that another super cell was about to arrive in about 5 minutes. He was responsible for making sure that the rescuers were safe, for how can they rescue someone else if they suffered harm. This man has a 19 year old child and many times that night thought of how it would be if that were his child buried. He couldn't call off the search for Jason with that thought in mind! Praise the Lord! Wow! Crying while I write this!
Last night we loaded up Jason's backpack with every intention to go to class today. Unfortunately last night was again another sleep deprived night. It's amazing to me that he can't sleep with all the medication he's on. He did fall asleep around 8:30am and I had to wake him up at 12:10pm for chemistry class (which he can watch live online).
Jason is having a nerve block this Wednesday. Please pray for the nerve block to be effective and for Jason to be able to get caught up in his classes.

Kaspar family,
It was great to hear the stories!
We definitely are praying for Jason and Kaspar family, especially for Jason's pain to calm down.
Love you all, Dixon family
Hello Kaspar Family! We've never met, however your family is in our prayers. My husband and I are Union alums. We have praised God that no lives were lost in the tornado, but continue to remember that your lives were greatly affected by the events of that night. Please know that as we pray for Union's rebuilding, we will not neglect praying for Jason and the others who are still struggling with recovery. God Bless You! Thank you for the updates...they help us pray more specifically!
