“Its going to be better than all right. I took Jones to the ER because of what I thought was a stomach bug, but it turns out he had some scar tissue built up from his last surgery and needed to have surgery again to fix the problem,” Maynard Johnson explained.
“Thankful for all of the nurses, doctors and surgeons at@levinechildrensfor loving on my sweet boy so well. Special thank you to the best pediatrician out there@amoranlanierwho I texted and called at all hours to explain to me what was happening in toddler terms because my brain has been mush for the past 18 years, but especially the past couple of weeks🙃.”
Last week, Emily shared a sweet moment with Jones, posting a shot whereshe smiled as she carried her son, balancing her phone between her fingers.
Jones laughed at the camera as he posed in his mom’s arms, one hand touching her phone.
“I’m so happy I didn’t stop at five. I love you all the way to heaven Jones West. ❤️,” she captioned the photo.
