An Official Appointment

We received word this morning that Jon's chemoembolization procedure will be done on Thursday, July 17. We are to report to the UW at 6:00am. I'm not sure how long the procedure will take but they do expect him to stay overnight in the hospital and be ready to go home by Friday afternoon. The sid effects should be nausea and some pain.

Jon's feeling strong and has been really enjoying himself the past few weeks. I hate to see him go through another procedure but am optimistic that this treatment is his best option. The second lobe will be done in mid to late August. He has several hunting trips planned for September and with any luck we'll get at least one backpacking trip in together this summer.

So ramp up all the prayer, positive thoughts and visualizations for Thursday!
