Good News

Jim at Altuan Ha

Hi everyone,

I am very happy to report that Charlie is back home after stays at St. Agnes and Union Memorial Hospitals. He would enjoy visitors, just call ahead and make sure that it is a good time to stop by. I tried to visit him at Johns Hopkins, but he wasn't there! The fluid on his lung appears to be cardiac-related. They put stents in his artery (arteries?) to increase blood flow.....let's hope this is does the trick! Continue to feel better, Charlie, and come back to Sam's soon. Everyone has missed you.

My dear friend Jim came through his surgery at Hopkins beautifully. He had a tumor and two lobes of his right lung removed on Tuesday. He is already well enough to be walking, eating meals, and be "tubeless". He will probably come home tomorrow, and that seems like a miracle to me! Thanks for all of your prayers, I am positive they helped ! Jim has done an excellent job of using a blog to keep friends and family informed of his progress.
