Message from Sjon

I love you all soooo much, you truly are angels in my life and with this support there is nothing we can't acomplish in this life so bring it on!!!!! ;-)

Lump in Jaw removal update

On tuesday Sjon had a lymph node in his jaw removed.  The good news is that the doctor removed 20 lymph glands and the only one that was positive for cancer was the one that they went in for in the first place. Very good news!  He has a drain tube in his jaw, has a pretty sore throat and it hurts to talk but he is doing well. 
Right now he is focusing on resting and healing over the next two weeks so they can do an MRI and talk about the rest of his treatments.  His body has been through alot the last 7 weeks, 6 surgeries, wow.  The rest is much needed and if you see him out running around send him home immediately!  Just kidding, what type of Sjon update would this be without a little ha ha in it 'wink'.
Sjon and Angie want to thank everyone for their love and support.  They feel truly blessed to have all of you in their lives. 
Have a safe Labor Day weekend and give out an extra hug or two!
XO

Angels+LOVE+Yard Sale=WOW

 

Saturday's yard sale was amazing! We are overwhelmed at the love and support that has been shown to Sjon and his family as well as the extended family. It is just AMAZING! So many of you donated items to make the yard sale bake sale a huge success. When we say success we mean it on every level possible. Your kindness brought family and friends together. It helped people who have cancer share their stories when they stopped by. It made so many people smile and many hugs were given. THANK YOU!

If we start naming names we would certainly forget someone so please all of you that...
