March 14 Update
Since we returned from Miami I have not been updating on a regular basis as there really was no major change. However people have been asking so here goes.Since Jim’s return we have been seeing Dr Hosein on a weekly basis. Dr Flynn sent down his report on what was done in Miami.On our initial visit to Dr Hosein there was a problem with the cornea which was getting dried out as the eye is not producing enough lubrication so he was put on a regime of Bion tears 8 times a day in addition to the other drops (three sets) and there was improvement in a few days. As for his sight he is still unable to see any more than movement as for example when the doctor waves a hand he knows that something is moving and faint flickers of light. The surgery has allowed them to see the extent of the damage which is a lot and there is a distinct possibility that he may never regain any useful vision so as to read etc. However we are hanging in there and once the eye has settled down and Dr Hosein gives the ok we will go back to deal with the orbital fractures and the ptosis of the eyelids. But for the time being Jim is resting and getting back his strength. Thanks to you all for the calls, visits and moral support.

Dear Jacqueline,
Both Cynthia and I have been thinking of you all and especially had Jimmy in our prayers for his continuing improvement. Though slow, it has to be God’s will that he WILL improve since it was His will that Jimmy be still alive. So take heart, all of you and keep the faith. Love to all.

Dear Jeanette,
Thanks for the update. I was wondering how things were going. I might be home for Easter, so I will come visit. Take care and both you and Jimmy continue to be in my prayers.
