A weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. Thanks Sheila :)
Callum went in on Wednesday for multiple mole excisions and thankfully while the results came back with severe abnormalities, all moles were removed before becoming melanoma. He has had a fair amount of pain but considering the number of excsions that was to be expected. He's been a very good patient and getting this 1.5litre slurpee from the 7-Eleven "Bring your own cup day" sure put a smile on his face LOL
Heartfelt thanks once again to everyone for the supportive, caring comments and emails, it has truly meant a lot during this stressful time.

ReplyDeleteThanks goodness for the good news!

@ Megan ~ Cold Kiss definitely worth the read, not earth shattering but an enjoyable read and the writing is good :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read the great news! And a 7-Eleven slurpee can make most things better :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear things went decently well for Callum! I was thinking about the both of you as well this week. My surgery did go pretty well, though the results haven't come back yet. But my doctor thought things looked better than he had anticipated so I'm hopeful. Yay! Hopefully Callum will be feeling better quickly and we can all continue to enjoy living life! :o)
ReplyDeleteAnd so glad you enjoyed The Language of Flowers! It really was a fantastic read, I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Have a fabulous reading week!!! ;o)
Good news for your son.:)
ReplyDeleteI missed the Monday meme this week for the first time in ages.
Have a good week

Wow, what a big mug! I'm so glad to hear that Callum will be okay, I'm sure he will heal pretty quickly - kids seem to bounce back better than we adults do!
