We have entered a new chapter in our saga. Today, after almost 3 months in the hospital, Dad came home from the ICU. We are transitioning to an in-home hospice care situation. Dad is very weak and tired, and while he isn't really able to speak he can hear and respond to our yes/no questions. We are incredibly happy to have him comfortably home, and I think he is also happy to be here. So far we have had excellent and responsive care from the Community Hospice of Texas staff. We are also unbelievably grateful to Dr. Jerry Moore ('63 and Lucky 13 original member). He has been with us since early this morning helping the transition go as smoothly as possible.
Here is a photo of Dad in his bedroom right after arriving home this morning.
Here he is resting comfortably a few hours later.
We continue to be so thankful to all our friends and family for your phone calls, texts, thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for checking in.

Hi,
Your Dad and I worked together back in Atlanta along with Steve Mishket and several other great guys and gals. Jim was a terrific manager of our affirmative action recruiting effort during that very challenging chapter in Sears history. My wife and I are currently in Sicily but we will lift Jim, you, and the family up to our Lord in prayer. Bless you for your commitment to his care and for your demonstrated love for him. Every Dad would want a daughter like you!

Sending love to you and your family during this time. Again, let me know if there is anything I can do.
