Hi Jack: Sounds like you are getting better every day. Keep up the hard work & stay determined. It will pay you back. I know the 340 is lonesome--sooo let's plan a trip to visit it. Now that would be great therapy!!! Smoky up here in Montana because of all the fires in Idaho but still beautiful. Don't forget your promise to visit. Once you can travel some--I know you'll enjoy it. I'll be down to visit again soon--probably the week of the 27th. Work hard & see you then. Tom Miller.

Hi Jack,
How are you doing? I hope this finds that you are doing well. I met Karen's brother yesterday. He seems very nice. He said that you will probaly be going home soon. That's great. I bet you miss being there.
As for myself I have been doing pretty good. I did venture out of my box and go to a sushi bar for the first time last night. I will probably try it again sometime. Some of it is actually pretty good!! Surprises me!!
Work has been steady. We all sure do miss you. Get better all ready!!! That way you can come back in again and have that "special" you said Dave would have to make up for you!! Hahaha!!!:)
You take care Jack....Tell everyone "Hello" for me. I'm glad to hear your daughter is doing better. I'm still praying for you...Miss you and you big smile...Your friend Lori

Hi Jack,
Heard that you were able to go home and visit yesterday. Bet it was really hard to go back to the hospital! Keep up all of your progress and it won't be long until you get to be home permantly!! I hate being in the hospital. My longest stay was 9 days and that was enough!!
Not much going on. I am going to take my son John to Magic Mountain tomarrow. That's about all.
So you just keep going... one day at a time...and one morning you're going to wake up and be all better!!! I'm praying it happens really soon. Love, your friend, Lori

Jack,
Since this is sort of a family blog site I thought I'd give Karen a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY and hope that she is able to enjoy her day however she sees fit tomorrow. Without talking to anyone about your day pass I'm sure that everything went as best as could have or knowing you and the family it was a great day for all. Karen's promise to cook dinner every night must be weighing on her shoulders (Ha,Ha) Some of us here at the office will be pitching in a meal here a meal there until you get tired of our cooking. (Don't be shy just tell us when to stop). Any special request? I'm sure between the 22 of us women here at the office, we could just about do anything you ask for. See you when I get back in town and keep up the hard work . Love to you, Karen (Happy BDay) and HKM
