Harry's home!

Dear friends,

We're delighted to report that Harry was discharged late yesterday afternoon (Friday) with another glowing report about his progress from his oncology team. We're thrilled that he'll be home to celebrate Fathers' Day with Daddy Henry and the rest of the Venema clan on Sunday.

The oncologists' report, doesn't, unfortunately, change in any way Harry's somewhat precarious situation vis-a-vis the possibility of a transplant. Because the cancer has invaded all four lobes of Harry's liver, the possibility of a surgical excision is almost non-existant, which makes a full transplant the only real logical next step. The decision to put him on the transplant list still rests with the doctors at Sick Kids in Toronto, though, from whom nothing has yet been heard.

We'd be grateful for your good meditative energies as we imagine our way forward from here ...
