We had a very inspiring visitor today (unfortunately Sawyer wasn't back in the room yet to talk with him) - Jason Latham, from Alfred-Almond, and his mom stopped by after Jason was done with his appointment at Strong. He was diagnosed and treated for a very scary brain tumor last November and is continuing to receive treatments. He has the same port in his chest that Sawyer just received and was very positive about his experience with it.(Jason is in 8th grade)
Mark and I were delighted to see him and were buoyed by his positive attitude. Cancer does unfortunately strike people of all ages, races, genders, etc. -- we will certainly be meeting so many more examples of families who have overcome the journey we are just starting.We want to throw out a shout of support for all the other families who have to deal with it and pray that they have the same caring support that we are experiencing.
That was great of Jason and his mom to visit! Know that all of us here @ home are rooting for Sawyer and are with you in spirit!
