Christmas is almost here!!!! Hello everyone, sorry to be so long, we had a bug in our system and finally were able to correct it last night.
Jon is doing fantastic, he was able to attend the boy scout Christmas party last night and had a blast. He was also able to go by and visit with the teachers and staff at Rollings Middle School of the Arts yesterday and was so overwhelmed by how much everyone had been thinking of him and asking about him. He really enjoyed getting out and seeing people he knew again!
We have been fortunate to be able to be home for quite a number of days and enjoying Jon being home and feeling good for a change!
We did find out from the GI doctor that they intend to run another test on January 4th to determine if anything has changed regarding his pancreas and if not I believe they will continue to wait a while longer before they decide to do anything. He is finding more and more fat free and sugar free foods that he likes and we are finding new ways to cook some of his favorites so he can eat them as well. He will be on enzymes and insulin for the rest of his life but is adjusting slowly to that development as well.
He is so very excited about Christmas and we wanted to thank the elves who have made it possible for him to have such a wonderful one this year! We sure could not have done it without all of you!!!!
We returned to the clinic today and his numbers are way up so that means we will be able to enjoy our whole family and friends during the holidays and he will be able to get out a lot more and visit with his friends. He is so looking forward to that as well as feeling so good all day long, no pain and no sickness!!!! What a blessing that is for him! We thank all of you so much for your prayers and for The Lord making it possible for a VERY BLESSED CHRISTMAS!!!!
Merry Christmas to all of you and we will keep you posted on his progress.
