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!

MamaBear .....

Thank you for that eyewitness report.

It is so good to know that Jim is still doing great and still has his sense of humor.

The flowers are beautiful. I tried to get some pictures Friday but they were not very good.

Thank you again for the update.

Thank you so much for the wonderful update. The flowers are lovely and the other photos are a great reminder of the sacrifices of our troops.
Bless them and may God keep them safe.

How nice to read your report of your visit with Jim.

I am sure he appreciated it and we all thank you for doing what we, because of distance, can not do.

Your pictures are great too.
