I just got off of the phone with Jim and he's doing better but he's bored. I talked to Jan and she's on the way back to Baptist Hospital from their house. Jim is in Room 5328 and you can call them at 284-5328. He can have visitors and I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing from you guys or having some company; just not a deluge of it. Short calls or visits would be best. You can always call me at 310-4155.

I just sent Jan a big email. Maybe she will get it when they get home. they are in my prayers and most of all in my heart. I miss you guys and I pray that each of you are being blessed this Thanksgiving and CHRISTMAS!!! season. For all the other faiths, Happy Holidays!! Christmas remains a sacred word to me.

Jeff, my dear friend, whats ya'll are code??

Love to all, Mona

I hope the pacemaker does its job and gets him feeling much better!

ARE CODE??? Man what a day! Area Code???? Thanks Jeff, as you can tell, it's the same old Mona

Mona it's 615. Lavonne and I are going to visit here in an hour or so and I'll holler at ya when we get back.

We just got back from the hospital and Jim is in really good spirits.

He is on Coumadin so they have to let his blood thicken before they can do the surgery. That's why they have to wait until Monday. Jim thinks that he's going home Tuesday but Jan thinks it's going to be Wednesday.

We'll probably go back out there tomorrow so I'll try and keep everyone abreast of the situation. They said that they really would appreciate everyoneÂs prayers.

Jeff,

Please let Jan & Jim know they're in my heart and my prayers. A pacemaker can make a huge difference -- I saw it with my mom.

Marty

Marty where the heck have you been? Call or email me this weekend please!

I'll pass along all the well wishes from everyone tomorrow.

Jeff, Please let Jan know that people all across the state are praying for Jims recovery. I am one of them. Rhonda

Jim just got out of surgery and Jan said that the doctor told her that everything went fine. He'll be resting/sleeping until about 1:00-2:00. Lavonne and I will be going out there later this afternoon.

Great news!

Wonderful! I praise God that everything went well. Jeff, please keep us updated.

We had our Thanksgiving today since the kids have to work Thursday. I'm stuffed, the bird is about gone, now for the sweats!

Love to all and may God bless you each and everyone with his loving Grace, Mona

We just left the hospital and Jan & Jim are going home today. Please remember to keep them in your prayers as Jim is going to have a sticky revovery process. Poor Jan has a hardheaded patient to deal with too; much like my better half does.

I appreciate everyone's concern and prayers. It has been a long week, hopefully we will both get a good night's sleep tonight. Now to decipher all the instructions about all his medicine...and keep it all straight.

Keep praying, it has only begun. Now they say he has congestive heart failure on top of all this.

Jan
