Emily came to see me and sing a delightful tune to me on Monday.
Tues am,8:30. Doctors just left rounds, they told me I've made 4600 WBC!!!! I'm making cells; I collapsed in the doctors arms with JOY!!! So, they say they are reducing my intake of antibiotics, need to buildup my phosphorous, 1 more anti Fungicidal today, and then, they are getting ready to release me before the weekend. The prayers, support, good vibes from all over have helped me tremendously. My poor wife, what alot of work, but she's there daily for me, Carol's the Daily Show!!! Well, I'm ecstatic, but hungry, gotta go eat.JIMBO

Jim, I'm overcome with joy at your wonderful good news this morning and the thought of you back at home. When I stopped at your house the other night to try to record the DVD you requested, your absence in the house was so tangible. Your blog has helped to fill the void, but there's nothing like the real thing. Don't worry, we won't overwhelm you when you get home! We'll all make sure that you have all the time to rest and heal that you need. Keep cranking out those WBC's! Much love, Glenn, Randi, Elana & Dylan

This is such wonderful news-just think, the Parkwood will be able to churn out a large profit now that Jim's back on the scene ...

Maplewood isn't the same without the bassman in town, we're all looking forward to seeing you soon.

So glad to hear things are moving along! Keep up the good WBC work. I Will you keep doing the art stuff, and can you post some of your paintings to the blog? Thinking of you often,

We are thrilled to learn that your WBC is up and that you are feeling better. Nick is working hard practicing the trumpet for Jazz Band tryouts later this week.

Keep getting better!
