Well, Jon is settling into somewhat of a routine this week. It has been challenging some days due to the medication making him hungry all the time and trying to keep his food down but we think we have finally figured out a way around it. Since his numbers were up at his clinic visit he enjoyed throwing the frisbee outdoors with his friends again. We also have his diabetes under control now with only one shot per day instead of three or four.
He was able to visit his buddy Zach, in the middle of completing his Eagle project and speak with all his boy scout friends from his troop. That really lifted his spirits to know that they missed him and were looking forward to his returning to his place as quartermaster for the troop. He will be able to work on some of his merit badges while at home to earn his Life rank, then the next step will be to complete the requirements to earn his Eagle.
We were able to obtain information to get him registered for online school and will be starting that very shortly. He feels he has a distinct advantage over his friends, in that he can wear whatever he wants to, (including pajamas) to go to school online.
His buddy, Andrew called him from Germany to talk about things and he thought that was really cool. He was also able to ride in his sister's first car to get a pizza at the drive through.
We will be returning to the clinic this coming Tuesday, so pray for good numbers again this week.
