Hey Jim-

Hope the latest surgery was a success and that the visit from your sister brightens everyone's spirits. Thinking of you.

Have a great time with Kenny. He's great as usual this year.

Still remembering all of you in my prayers. Be as positive and hopeful as you can.

I'm not gonna' count any chickens yet...,
However;
Paul's fever has dropped, he's infection-free, and he's had his last (hopefully) leg operation.
He's very responsive,and awake moreso than can be expected.
He speaks very slowly, and constantly tries to itch his trache, bandages & sore spots.
He's alive & awake.
He's alive and awake.

It's a wonderful feeling...
Smiles
Jimmy
P.S.-
I believe ,in some way, that your messages for our brother gave our entire family so much more emotional elasticity. Thanks for helping us simply breathe.
Well, so far so good ...
As I mentioned @5 pages ago, maybe one day my family will figure out why I love to go to STJ every year.
It's the kindness shared that's as easy as love. Thank you all for bringing a part of Love City home to share with us.
Thank you so much.
I just bought Paul "be as you are"...
Can't wait to enjoy it with him.
Smiles-
Jimmy

Jimmmy, I am so happy that your brother is continuing to improve. I'll be thinking of you and your family.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

mahojim, This is just bad stuff. You really make a good point of letting it all settle and being calm when on the road. To much hussle these days and not enough human compassion. Jody(my wife)and I send our prayers. God bless you.
