The Latest

Jim received his first Heparin shot today to help prevent blood clots in his legs. He will receive these 3 times a day. He told the nurse to be careful because his 6pack abs might break the needle. We are so glad Jim has not lost his sense of humor!
The swelling in his face is nearly gone. His head and neck hurt a bit more today as the doctors have increased the pressure to his brain so it can absorb more fluids.
The spasms are increasing which is expected, but it does give a bigger risk of stroke. His fever is back as well but this is probably a neurological fever. Please continue to pray for Jim to over come this uphill battle! Thank you all for your prayers, support and well wishes.

    I have been praying for you all week.Sounds like everyone's prayers are working and you continue to improve. Thank God! We'll have to compare head scars when we visit next--LOL:) They say that your sense of humor is a GREAT sign. So keep those jokes coming! I love you buddy! Stay strong.
