Paula, so sorry for the results. All I can say is you are an amazing caregiver and Jim has been fortunate to have you to help him through this. Make the most of the time left like you have so far. Don't assume that because they say 8 months that they will be accurate. Just live each day the best that you can and worry about tomorrow in the future. Listen to Jim and he will most likely give you clues as to how he is doing. Even if he doesn't have the strength to go out during the week, I am sure you two can be comfortable at home just being with each other.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Let me know if you would like any my thoughts or the second guesses on the decisions that we made during Pam's final weeks. Take care.
