JR is doing great after his surgery

We have been home from the hospital for over a week and JR has recovered very well from his surgery. In fact, if you didn't know he had surgery, you wouldn't be able to tell. We went swimming over at our friend's house, the Quinns, and JR went jumping off the diving board. As a result, his hair came down over his scar and it covered the whole thing. He looks as handsome as ever. Addie has had fun receiving gifts and helping her big brother eat some of the many treats that have been sent our way. We have had so much great food and gifts and help with everything that I haven't had to go to the store for anything. We went bowling today on this rainy Tuesday. The kids tied for their first game, Addie won the second game and JR won the third (whew).
Tomorrow we meet JR's oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in Manhattan and get our plan of action together. All we know at the moment is that JR will make it through all this. We only have room for positive thoughts!
