Got word this evening. Jim made it through the surgery just fine, is in ICU and everything went well. There were some delays, as always, but so far so good. Thanks everyone for your prayers and good wishes, the family really appreciates your support.
That's really good news. All is looking like a positive outcome.
Every great thing that has ever happened since the beginning of time has started as a single thought in someones mind.
So if you are capable of thought then you are capable of great things
Good luck and stay well.
