Hello all,

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. 55 is going to be a great year!

I wanted to share a quick update on my progress. I had a doctor’s appointment in Iowa City on March 3rd (day +99 since my original infusion) for blood work, a CAT scan, and a bone marrow biopsy.

Overall, my numbers have been good lately, aside from some low immunoglobulin levels. Well, today (day +106), I received a call with amazing news. All of my tests came back clear of cancer cells in both my blood and bone marrow!

I am absolutely overjoyed and cannot thank you all enough for the prayers and support. Denise and I would have been lost without you. It has been a wild ride, and I can’t wait to get back out there. For now, I’m going to focus on regaining my strength and endurance before hitting the road. I’ll update when that time comes and know I’ll see you all soon.

Thank you!
Jon

Marshalltown and the Towing community lost a good one.
We send our thoughts and prayers out to the Wegner Family and all those at Larrys Towing Tire and Lock as they say 'see you later' to Larry Wegner today.
God Bless

Well, its been quite the last 9 days. After only being out of the hospital for 24 hours, my body was a late bloomer for CRS. And it sucked!! I'd like to say...'it was no problem' but I'd be lying. The headache and body aches were crazy. And as they gave me IV fluids, antibotics, and steroids my fever broke. And then the fun began.... I went from walking every day the first 11 days in the hospital- totaling 33 miles, to struggling to walk 10 feet to the bathroom.
The muscle spasms and overall weakness, being lightheaded, and no sleep had me at wit's end. I actually started crying because they had no coffee brewed. Those next two days were the worst. I'm so thankful for my wife and family being there for me.
And to the nurses and Doctors at 3JCP - @ University of Iowa Health Care Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center THANK YOU!!
Thank you all for your continued prayers!

I wanted to send an update about Jon.

Yesterday, Jon got a fever and started having flu symptoms, so he was readmitted back onto his floor at the U of I hospital. His temperature was as high as 103 during the night, but thankfully, his temperature this morning is down to 99.5. We hope that it continues to stay down. He is achy and having a hard time getting comfortable.

These are the CRS symptoms we knew could come, but hoped to avoid. We are told this happens when the new T- cells create many cytokines causing inflammatory things to occur in the body. Jon is currently receiving fluids and an antibiotic to help. The doctors will also keep monitoring his neurological functions as well. We will be here at least a few days as we go through this part of his treatment.

Thank you for your support and prayers. Please keep them coming!
