UPDATE ON BISHOP BRUNO From the Bishop's Office:
|
Dear Friends,
I am well on the road to recovery. After four bone marrow biopsies, I await the fifth to get final verification of the effectiveness of my chemotherapy treatments. The doctors say the healing is moving forward at a miraculous pace, and I know that the outpouring of prayer and love is making all the difference.
I am enjoying the Caring Bridge web page as well as the cards and well wishes extended to me and my family. I want you to know that I read each and every one, and they provide me strength and comfort.
I will have another bone marrow test next week to confirm my progress. Every day I feel stronger in body and spirit. Mary and I send our love to all.
Yours in Christ,
+ J. Jon Bruno
