Ian's Fun with Friends Before Chemo Begins

From Shannon Bailey's new Facebook page for "Ian's Army":
Yesterday was alot of information. There were many bitter-sweet moments. Ian’s cancer is indeed osteosarcoma and there appears to be no skip lesions and his lungs are clear. Ian did ask what his odds of beating this were and the MD told him. Of course he would want to know, he is a numbers’ kid. His treatment will consist of chemo for approximately a 9 month duration, with surgical intervention as well, to remove the tumor about 10 weeks into chemo. He will go this Friday for one final bone scan and then will start chemo this upcoming Monday.
We each know that our family will have challenging days ahead, but through God, we will face each challenge bravely together. Thank you each and everyone for your continued support and prayers for our family. Through this devastating news, we have managed to find so many blessings and will continue to look for those through Ian’s journey.

The Collin's invited several of Ian's friends over Sunday afternoon to their home. AA was able to go right after her golf tournament was over, Jill was so kind to pick up Owen and AA; in the car:

Being Goofy!
Standing like a "T"!
They all had fun, hoping to keep his spirits up as his treatments begin. May Ian's health improve as he receives treatment and kicks cancer's butt!
