It dawned on me yesterday that it had been three weeks since we heard that Jon had a brain tumour. I remember every minute as vividly as it were happening now. I'm sure that this will always be the case. One week ago at this time, Tom and were seeing Jon off to surgery, being wheeled away after emotional hugs and kisses. After a few moments alone, Tom and I joined Carolyn, Yvette and Terri. Time is a funny thing. It flies by and stands still all at the same time.
Jon is recovering very well. He is enjoying all the goodies he's received and up and about more each day. We heard from the after-care clinic yesterday. Jon will be being seen by Dr. David MacDonald for follow up care. He is an adult neuro-oncologist who works out of the London Regional Cancer Centre. We have an appointment Monday Feb. 1. Also, it looks like we're waiting until some time next week for the pathology reports. While the doctor originally told us it might be 5-6 days, it'll likely be 7-10 days. So, we hope for news early next week. By then, Jon will be beginning 2nd semester looking forward to cheering the Riverside Rebels at WECSSAA.
Now, there's a game of Sequence on the table, and a load of laundry to switch over.
:-D

All good news right now.
ReplyDeleteJon, you crack us up about counting the pieces - sounds like a familiar activity in this house as well.
What are your favorite treats - the family who "stalks" you guys from St. Louis would definitely like to know (and do something about it!)
Well, I've got laundry to "switch over" as well. I put the treadmill next to the washing machine - there is sits, all patient-like.
Jon, we are thinking of you, praying that "the little lump" has no more umph in it, and for you to be done with any treatments needed to eradicate "Fred" from your existence.
Love to you and your family (Hi Jocelyn - one of my most favorite names of all time!)
Love, Amy
Happy Thursday Brents. Uncle Glen and I love hearing the JON stories...I don't blame you for counting all the pieces, afterall I grew up with your mom and I know how things could go missing !!! I am just tickled at how well you are doing. Let me know when the tray is empty and I will glady refill it for you. When is the Wecssa meet, I would love to cheer on the Rebels.
ReplyDeleteLoving you in bunches, Aunt Louisa
PS (Joc, I can make you your own tray, just tell me what you can and can't have) :) :) :)
