Sorry it has taken so long to get this update posted. I needed to resize some photos before I could post.

Husband, jkphoto, and I drove up to Fresno this afternoon to see Jim and I am very pleased to report that he is doing great! He was sitting in his chair (for the first time since his surgery) and we distinctly saw the same twinkle in his eyes, the same smiles and the same upbeat sense of humor that we have come to expect from our "Jim". We didn't want to monopolize his time, so only spent about a half an hour with him. We met his brother and another visitor who was just leaving when we arrived.

Jim says he is not taking the morphine anymore and is in absolutely no pain at all. He is anxious, of course, to be released (but, IMHO, he is doing so very well under the good care he is receiving at the VA hospital that I think he should stay as long as they will keep him. LOL). His nurse was in and out of his room several times during out brief visit. He is certainly getting lots of attention and TLC there.

Of course, he is so very grateful to each and every one of you for your concern and prayers. He said he fired up his laptop and came to the thread for awhile today, but there is apparently something wrong with his monitor......he said it just keeps fogging up on him and he just had to close it up and put it away for awhile. ;-) He says he will be posting an update soon.

Later, after we said goodbye to Jim, we met up with our good buddy Syncro at the Macaroni Grill and had a nice dinner. Syncro then headed over to see Jim and we left for the 45 minute drive home.

There is not much else to report, but I did take some photos, inside and out, of the military tributes, posters and artwork, etc., at the VA hospital and thought I would post some of them here along with the flowers in Jim's room.

I just can't stress enough how great Jim is doing. That's the power of prayer!

Yes! Thanks for the pictures, MB! “Seeing” where JimRob is is better than ‘thinking; where he is!! Looks like a great hospital.

Thank you so much, MB, for making the visit "for us" and reporting back with beautiful pictures and good news. We are all anxious for the news to continue on such a good path. May it be so. We also thank our dear Lord for all that He has done throughout this ordeal for Jim. Thank God that Jim is out of pain and in good spirits.

Now, about the weather. Could you guys in CA please send some of your gobal warming over our way? We're about to freeze to death with no end in sight.

Loveya girl.

Don't you hate it when that happens?
