Dear family and friends,
Jon was admitted to St. Agnes Hospital on friday the 26th for hydration and nutrition. Because of his continued stomach issues, he had been unable to get enough in to sustain him. After a few days of IV's Jon is feeling stronger and getting some color back in his cheeks. In case you missed it, the medicine that you all have been praying for arrived Saturday and he has been taking it twice a day without any noticeable side effects. We are not seeing any positive response at this point either, but it is still early. We have had a couple of bumps in the road this week. Jon asks that you please pray for his emotional strength as well. I can only imagine how exhausting all of this is for him but he continues to smile at his nurses and make jokes. He will be in the hospital for a few more days at least. They are talking about maybe Tuesday, Sept. 6th.
Please keep our family in your prayers, Jon is fighting the good fight. He has continued to be encouraged by your cards, texts and letters. Anne has been there with him every step of the way except for last tuesday morning when she went to hear the baby's heartbeat. She was able to record it on her cell phone for Jon to hear when she got back to the hospital. Please remember this precious baby she is carrying.
Dr. Setya called me yesterday to let me know that Zach's mole definitely needed to come off but he got clear margins so no further surgery is needed. We'll just need to keep an eye on him.
We are so grateful to have all of you in our lives.
Prayer requests:
The Braff drug starts to shrink Jon's tumors
pain management
Anne's health and the baby
a good transition from hospital to home
encouragement and peace
Lots of love,
Susan,Sue,Susie, Mom, Grandmom :)
