Happ;y New Year

The year ended with a flury and a lot of fun. We had our entire family home for Christmas including Kerry from San Francisco so that made it extra special. The house was so nicely decorated and nice outside lights. After Christmas we got ready for a family cruise in the eastern Carribean. We went on the Holland America line and it was the first time my children had ever had that experience. With the close call with life and the battle not over we are trying to make memories while we can and each day is special and a blessing. We visited St Thomas, San Juan, a private island and a lot of open water cruising as the weather got crummy and high winds so we couldn't dock at Grand Turks. Nevertheless itg still was great and atr least 5 pounds gained. Shortly after returning I had a busy day in the office which is turning around for the better. Then Linda and I flew to Los Angeles to UCLA Med Center for another vaccine. This time it was a booster and I will now get these every 3 months for a while, as long as they tell me and God wills. I had prayed to get on this arm of the clinical study as it makes a lot of good sence to me to get these. Immediately after return I had a busy office day before resting tonight and preparing for some work at a clinic I help with and it provides extra income for the practice. Also I'm gong to try to pick up a lot of the dead and broken branches after the ice store and try to be very careful with the chain saw. These always scare me some and I try to be so careful. I believe a lot of opportunities are right around the corner so every day is a new adventure. I have an MRI in one month to check on progress and I believe it will be good. Please keep up the prayers as my practice ministry has never been better. Dr Jim ande Linda
