Everybody please join us in prayer...and an update from Tiffany

This is an email I received from Jon's aunt Barb. I think this is a wonderful idea and am going to be emailing this to all of my family and friends and hope that you will do the same.

"Hello Family and Friends,

As many of you know, my nephew Jon Unander has been admitted to the Huntsman Cancer center today to begin his first week of treatment for his melanoma. We have fasted and offered our prayers in his behalf and for his wife and children. His name is in the temple.

Wednesday is his 31st birthday. We want to do something more for him. So we are asking that everyone and anyone who knows and loves him, or knows someone who does, will stop whatever they are doing at 7:30 p.m. (Mountain time) (That would be 6:30 pacific time and 9:30 eastern etc.)and kneel in prayer to ask that the Lord will give him strength, comfort his family and especially that the treatment will have the intended effect. Please forward this email to any of your family and friends that all can participate if they would like to. Jon’s family will greatly appreciate our efforts in asking for these blessings for Jon and Tiffany, Maxwell and Kenadee. Let’s exercise our faith together as family and friends! Thank You, Barb"

I hope everyone joins us in this! Set an alarm on your cell phone, alarm clock, watch (or ANYTHING) to remind you to pray at 7:30 MST.

Next, I have a letter from Tiffany that she sent to everyone on the Facebook page today. I thought I'd paste it here for everyone to see and read also.

"Thanks for all of those sweet messages that everyone put on the facebook page for us and thanks even more for the thoughts and prayers. We are really feeling the prayers today because we have strength and are holding tight.
Jon started the IL-2 at 9:30 am this morning and will get a strong dose every 8 hrs. until his body can no longer take it and it bottoms out. (meaning no more urine output and heart rate goes over 200 and blood pressure is lower into the 80's/40's.) So far though his heart rate has doubled and is in the 120's with blood pressure staying within normal limits and only sometimes going low. He is having hot and cold flashes and has a lot of tremors here and there. Also, the doctors said he will get sort of a sun burn look which is already forming.
Please keep us in your prayers and thanks for all the support, Its great to know we have such a great support network to lean on during this hard time. Tiffany"
