A Walk through the neighborhood prior to surgery, the week before. My sister was also here from Chicago with her two little boys. How I wish dad could walk on his own again & have only the tracking problem he once had. Since surgery… The tracking problem is hardly even there. It seems to have been traded for this double vision.

To all of my faithful & devoted customers:

Thanks for all of your business & support with encouragement at this difficult time as my dad was dignosed with a brain tumor in his brain stem, following surgery at John’s Hopkins on May 22nd, I am still here in PA where I have been since the middle of May so I must keep my store here on vacation settings until I return. Please feel free to see my me page for details or my website BLOG for further updates & prayer requests throughout this time. I will be working on updating my website STORE to ecommerce while I am away as well. Please be in prayer, he just turned 59 & has 5 children & 8 grandchildren, he still works full time & has a lot of faith & support, an amazing man! My dad’s surgery went well, however, he is left with double vision & he cannot walk. Both of which he did not have as a problem when he entered into surgery, we are praying these will both return. They only took a very small biopsy from the center of the tumor & not any more as intial pathology during surgery revealed that it was benign & slow growing. It was quite critical & risky as everything is so very tiny where they were working. Functions such as vision, hearing, taste, breathing, heartbeat, swallowing & expressions in the face were all very likely affected as we see now. He could have been paralized or on breathing & feeding tubes, etc. So we are thankful & hopeful that during this time of healing, these issues will subside, I will keep you updated… as I can. Plan is to be home after the 10th of June.
I will appreciate your prayers & understanding & business when I return, it’s very difficult taking the month off, but I know God is in control & my parents need me here. It has been a very good visit at home with my family.

Blessings, Bonnie
