Hi all,

I know many of you are as worried as I am about John. I wanted to let you know I just heard from him and told him I would update you. He said he will be posting soon. 

His tumor was blocking his stoma, so he has been given a new stoma and it is functioning well. He said he is down to 9 stone, which I googled and learned is about 126 pounds. He is being fed by a TPN bag. He said he is in good form though. 

This is such great news!!

Thanks for this, Liza. It is good news indeed! I think many of us have been sitting on the edge of our seats waiting to hear some news about John. So relieved that the news is positive.

Liza!! That's SO GOOD to hear that John is still managing his way through the challenges!  I hope they took out the tumor blocking is old stoma!! Thank you for telling us you heard from him!

Details John, Details... well, when you're up to it ofcourse! Lol!  

I have another kindergarten field trip today so I'll be checking in later just incase you updated us John!! I'm not sure where we are going today, but I'm going! I have a big secret & I am trying hard not to burst from the joy! Lol! Maybe I'll tell you all about it in private messages but not publicly here. Lol! I don't want to steal your thunder John! Lol! 

I'm sorry you've been going through so darn many challenges but you just stay strong & fight this stupid thing invading your 9 stone self!  When you do check in if you have it in your energy bank, Please tell us what this 9 stone is about & how it works if you have any energy at all. I'm still praying for you old man!! Don't waste those prayers! Lol! 

All the best & here's an energy, strength & healing stone thrown your way from me!  ❤️  from 🇨🇦 ... 🍂 🍁  🍂  Don't forget to check on the fall colours outside John!

Hi Liza and all,

 

I didn't know there was anything wrong with John and am sorry for that. John, I want you to know that my prayers are with you now that I've heard about your struggles. God bless you.

So sorry to hear of all John is enduring at the moment. It sounds like they are taking good care of him. I too was on TPN feedings before. 

I have faith that John is going to pull through this and heal. Many prayers going up!
