Dear friends and family,
Please forgive me for staying away so long! I am still adjusting to my school/teaching schedule and we have Alex and HoChang (our Korean foreign exchange student) both playing soccer but on different teams so there is a lot of driving at the end of each day to get both boys home.
Jon had an appointment today with his oncologist, Dr. Miller to get the results of his first scan since he started the Zolboraf. The news was mixed. Jon's lungs are improving, his belly is staying the same and his liver is worse. The good news is that, clinically, Dr. Miller is encouraged by Jon's improvement. He is much more active, his breathing is better and he has gained weight. Because of this, Dr. Miller wants Jon to continue with the treatment and give the drug more time to work.
Thank you for continuing to pray for Jon and our family. He has been able to get outside some this week and has been taking walks around his neighborhood. He is able to eat bites of food but is still getting his nutrition through his pic line. He generally feels stronger but is dealing with nausea and vomiting from time to time. Anne and Baby Bruce are doing fine. Our little grandbaby is now the size of an onion. Anne has an appointment for a sonogram later this month. Jon is hoping to go with her to find out if they are having a boy or a girl...so exciting :)
Prayer requests:
Jon will continue to improve and get stronger
Nausea and vomiting will decrease
The tumors will continue to shrink
Anne and the baby's continued good health
Love and blessings,
Susan, Sue, Susie, Mom and Grandmom
