Jim got his feeding tube out yesterday and was so happy to have that done. Since he was at the hospital, he went to visit some of the wonderful people who took care of him at CDH and then stopped by Marianjoy. It gave him great joy to see everyone and thank them personally.

The insurance company just approved the chemo drug that Jim is to start next week. We hope that his body responds well to this, so he can have a nice long break from hospitals. Jim is feeling good and so happy to be back to doing "regular" things. As in the past, people see him and can not believe how well he looks. God's healing is ever present in Jim. All of your prayers continue to give Jim strength and a wonderful "positive" energy to keep going each day. We know that there are so many things going on that need your prayers and we thank you for keeping us in your thoughts. Jim had a great birthday...thanks for the good wishes.

With love and gratitude....God Bless!
