Jon has returned home today after another overnight stay at the hospital to receive chemotherapy.  He is doing ok but is very tired.  He continues to have a great positive attitude!

Over the past few weeks Jonathon has reached many goals!!!  He went over a mile on the elliptical machine, started lifting weights again at school (benched 135×10!), tied his shoe standing up and caught three big cat fish at his pop’s boat!!!  Amanda baited the hooks, caught the first fish and Jon netted it for her encouraging her to reel it in! Altogether she caught 2!  Jonathon attended the prom  and had a good time with his friends. Everyone looked great!  Congratulations to Paisley, 2007 prom queen!!!

Jonathon has increased his weight to 174!!!  He is looking really good!  The ophthalmologist will surgically implant a 1 gram gold bar in his eyelid on July 3.  It will help his eyelid to close better when blinking to protect the cornea.  When he no longer needs it the weight can be removed.

GRADUATION!!! June 5!  Congratulations to all seniors.  Jonathon will be walking with his class on Tuesday at commencement!!!  He is also looking forward to the beach with his buddies!!!

We would like to thank you for your continued support and prayers.  Please drop in on Saturday, June 30, from 3-7  @ 817 Lakeview Drive to celebrate Jon’s graduation and birthday!
