Well Jim had a setback over the weekend and is back in the Hospital. He was scheduled for a procedure today and I haven't been able to find anything out yet. As soon as I do, I will let everyone know. I drove up to Encompass today and picked up his mail.
Big thanks goes out to Carson Garrett and his crew chief for sending package. They are a true class act. Also I picked up a small priority mail box and a card. I'm not sure if or when he will go back to Encompass, but will post when I find out.
If you have sent something last week please send me a message, so i can let you know if I've got it. If your wanting to send him something, you can send me a private message and I will give you my address and make sure he gets it. I think right now that is the safest option since September he's been a wondering nomadic Cowboy. Words can't express how much this all means to him.

Early Merry Christmas and bless you all

This is the first time I have viewed this thread because I thought it was meant primarily for the people stated in the title. I didn't know Jim had been going through all of this. He called me a few weeks ago while I was out shopping and we talked for quite awhile.
Sorry I am so late in viewing it.

During dialysis yesterday, Jim passed out 3 times and was complaining of chest pain. He is back at Deaconess Midtown for observation. Hopefully for not to long.

Wish I had better news. Jim has decided to stop dialysis. He’s tired of all the pain and issues he’s been going thru. Probably has a week left. He’s heavily medicated and resting. This is the toughest post I’ve ever made. Thanks to all that supported him and made his day brighter.
