Jim felt very well this am after 14 hours of sleep!!!!!! He wanted to visit his first graders at Bailey's Elementary since he's missed them so much. So I drove him over and since they were having a field day the kids were outside. Jim sat on a park bench and the teachers brought the kids to see him. It was unbelievable. When the kids saw him they all ran to him and enveloped him with hugs--it was a sight to see --about 20 kids at once hugging him (could only see his head) and shouting, "MR. JIM, MR. JIM"!
We left after a very short time as Jim was very tired, stopped at Kath and Dan's to drop off Willie's favorite blanket (Jim stayed in the car), then headed home. On the way home had to stop the car as he vomited, and then he felt very weak and tired. So I called Dan to meet us at the house to help me to get him up the front steps and inside. So glad Dan was home.
The rest of the day, he was very nauseated and had trouble drinking fluids and couldn't eat. I gave him medication for the nausea, but not much relief. I spoke with the nurses at NIH and they advised keep up the fluids and the medication and if no better bring him in in the am for Iv fluids. Good news--temp is holding at 99.3. Barbara

When I read about Jim and the 1st graders, I had a vision of the Sermon on the Mount..."Suffer the little children to come unto Me"...Children bring such joy and I'm glad Jim was able to see them. Hope he's over the nausea today and didn't have to return to NIH for fluids. God bless Barb and Jim and all the children in the world. Love, Joanne
