I'm so glad the radiation is helping Jim's breathing. It sounds like you really are doing a great job. I had to smile at the news that Jim fired Hospice. Good for him! Hope you can see other improvements as well. And you can be sure that lots of prayers are going your way for both you and Jim. Prayers do work. I read some research where they had two groups of patients who did not know they were being prayed for. One group had prayers said for them and one did not. The group that was being prayed for had the quickest and best recovery. How about that! Paula - you are some awesome caregiver! Glad your spirits are up, too.
