Good morning, Donnalynn. I see that Jim has a cardio appointment today and some other appointments finally underway this week. I will be praying for good treatment plans as a result of these appointments.

God be with you both.

Donnalynn,

Found this in the "Believe" inspirational messages, "Open your arms as wide as you can to receive all the miracles with your name on them".
Find the strength to do that! Praying for you all,

Donnalynn,
Praying for you as your day continues, for strength ( you AND Jim and Vanessa), perseverance, and healing powers. All of us praying for you three.

Hope Jim got his Oxygen. He will feel sooo much better if he can get his sats up into the 90's when he is sleeping! He won't be soooo fatigued.

Prayers,
Maureen

Just checking in, too--I hope you can get to Houston, good docs and quite a few forumeers for moral support.  I got a Canadian Mother Bear hug from you so I'm sending you a Southern Appalachian Black Bear hug right back atcha.  Actually 3 of 'em, for you, Jim and Vanessa!

Donnalynn,
Just checking in to see how the appointment went today.  Sending some more love and hugs.  We'll keep the prayers coming, hope Jim got the oxygen he badly needs.  Thankfully you are able to come to the states for any treatment Jim may need, my heart goes out to you both.
XOXOXOXO

Thanks, Donnalynn. I'm so glad that a treatment plan is underway, and that you are comfortable and at peace with it.

Take care of yourself as well as Jim, and we'll keep praying for all of you.

Glad things are moving forward for Jim ... the waiting for a plan and for treatment to be in place is hard and stressful ...

Donnalynn .....

Just knowing you have some direction now has to be a tremendous relief.  The unknown and the perceived uncaring by medical personnel are always the worst part of any health emergency.

Now for all of you to get some rest and trust that all will be well.

Much love and prayers continue.

Donnalynn ~

Great news!  I'm so pleased to learn that things are progressing in the right direction with your Jim.  I know prayers are being answered in this situation.  Enjoy your 'chill day'!  :)

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
