We had our first outpatient visit for chemo treatment at the clinic on Tuesday and it went very well. His numbers were promising and he was given the ok to be able to be out in the front and back yards without a mask. We were told to enjoy it while we can because it would probably change. Jon still can't be around crowds and that won't change for some time but at least he can have visitors (who are well) a few at a time. We met the staff at the clinic and Jon found it was less stressful than he thought it would be and we were only there for 4 hours. We will be returning next Tuesday for a repeat performance, then the following Tuesday will entail more indepth procedures that will take most of a day to complete. We know in our hearts that he is doing so well thus far totally due to the many, many prayers that are being said for him all over the country and now in Germany and Scotland.
Please know that we are so very appreciative of all the thoughts and prayers for Jon and the whole family and are truly blessed to have so many friends and family who care. Thank you to each and every one of you!!!!!
There are several events being planned on Jon's behalf and if you are interested in learning more about it you can access the information at this site. http://jonathansangels.blogspot.com/
I'm so glad to hear the visit went well on Tuesday. I've been thinking about all of you!
