Jonathon Updates

Status of Jonathon Sangrey

May 29

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!

  1. Congratulations John, I will see you at Graduation tonight. I saw a couple of Bass with your name on them this past weekend, I will make sure they hang around until you get down to the boat again. When you get to the shore, make sure you don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. That gives you a lot of room. Love

  2. Hey Jon,
    It was great to see you at graduation last night! You are truly an inspiration to a lot of people…both young and old. I saw many a teary eye last night when you walked up for your diploma. Keep up your positive attitude; God will take care of the rest.
    Jared says he’s picking you up to go to Megan’s graduation party next week! I’m sure that’ll be fun. Jared says “Hi”. Tell your mom I said hi and we’ll try to stop by on June 30th.
    God bless!!!

  3. Jon- it was wonderful to see you at graduation and I’m glad I have the picture of you and Amy in her album with the smile on your face!! (sorry mom!)

    By the way, I just looked at Amy’s bench in her lifting booklet, and she is all the way at 104.5!! So your’re going to have to give her some pointers for all this weight lifting she has to do!! See you soon!

  5. It was nice to read that Jon is doing well. Jon has been, and continues to be in the (Ben) Shenk Family’s prayers.
