Jim has been home for 24 hours. He is so happy to just sit in the chair and look at the Christmas tree. He took a nice long nap yesterday in his own bed - which he said felt like heaven. The kids had him open his Christmas presents when they got home from school, it was a lot of fun for all of us. We have a new friend in our bedroom - an oxygen concentrator unit. Jim was found to stop breathing several times during the night for short periods, so the doctors wanted him to sleep with oxygen until he can undergo a sleep study. It could from the pneumonia or just sleep apnea, which many people have.

We will see the oncologist next week to get things checked out. Jim will also have a little out patient physical therapy to help him continue to improve his strength.

All in all a great day and we are all so happy to have DAD in the house!

Love and Peace...God Bless!
