Short post today. Just want to let you all know that Johnny had the PET scan this morning and that went off without a hitch. We won't (don't want to) know the results until our Monday appointment with Dr. Ansari. We are just praying for no Whammies. Pray with us, please. No whammies, no whammies, no whammies!
The port placement is tomorrow at 9 a.m. We have to be there at 8 a.m. Again, please pray for easy port placement for the surgeon and guidance for his hands as he does the procedure. And sterile technique. And no junior mints falling in the opening as the surgeon works. (If you know what that reference is, leave a note and we will play Movie/TV trivia together sometime!)
So, tonight is Sanity Break Night (SBN). We have the privilege of being treated to the Billy Joel/Elton John concert at Wrigley Field. Lonnie, you don't know how much this is appreciated. Seriously, I wish there was a term bigger than Thank You. You have been such a great support to our family at all of our darkest times and for that there is no way to express gratitude to a sufficient level. Please know that when we say our prayers each night, you and your family are always at the top of our list. Your continued generosity is overwhelming.
Keep praying and we'll keep fighting.

ReplyDeleteThinking of you both and sending positive energy your way!
Johnny, Pam, Quinn, and Jake,
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in our prayers. Just want you all to know we are thinking of you daily and we are here if ever needed. Take care and we'll see you soon.
Lonnae, Zack, Kierra, and Dylan
Pam and Johnny-My Mom and I are here in Chicago tonight too! See, your friends surround you no matter where you are! We pray for you tonight and send you love:)
ReplyDeleteHope you both relaxed a bit last night and enjoyed an awesome concert together....you certainly deserved a little reality-checkOUT.
ReplyDeleteWe are at Riley on Monday with Ryne for his annual check everything (twice). I think we'll stop by the chapel while we're there and send up a prayer for Johnny, I tell you there is "grace" in that little room. I have been there on the very worst day of my life (even typing those words brings back a flood of memories and a flood of tears) and on the very best day too (in April when our scare turned out to be nothing). It is a place where God is....He just is. Always.
We'll be asking for that same grace for Johnny and all of you.
Know that we love you-
george ann, derek, chad and ryne nolan
Hey Pam, quick story. I got a message from Nicole Dragula Scott this morning asking where she could find this blog, so I sent her the info. Well, I just got another message from her saying that after reading Johnny's story she immediately made a doctor's appointment...she was referred quickly for a colonoscopy due to her grandmother having colon cancer, so she goes next monday. Just wanted you and johnny to know how many lives your touching. Thinking of you both.
ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear your news. Mom had colon cancer when Dan was born, 19 years ago and never had another problem. She also had Dr.Ansari. You are in good hands. We are praying for you and you are constantly in our thoughts. Good luck tomorrow, everything will go just fine. All our love, Anita
ReplyDeletePS Dave and I have doctor appts next week!!!
