Special Request

I created this blog to provide ongoing information on my brother's condition to family and friends. It has been great to see the large number of Page Views having only been in existence for a matter of days.

With Jimmy's condition improving over the last few days, I have began to think about how wonderful it will be for him to be able to read the blog posts and comments from all of you. Keep in mind he has been completely sedated (and still is) since February 5th. Therefore, he has no idea of what is happening to him, or the amount of caring support shown through this blog.

Special Request:

If you have been watching this blog, please add a comment to this blog post... Please put your NAME and the CITY & STATE you are commenting from in the comment text.

Thank you.

  5. Glad to hear Jim is getting better each day. We continue to pray for a quick recovery. I know the Pirates will need their biggest fan to root them on this year.

  14. I am so thankful this blog was started, not knowing about Jim for several days after he was admitted i have been able to see how he has been doing daily. I met Jim about 19 years ago thanks to my mother (sandra leasure) and we dated for awhile but contiued to remain friends. Me and my son (corey miller) have been praying for Jim. I am so happy to hear that he is doing better. Will continue to pray.

  17. Hey Cousin James!! We've been checking on you several times a day. You are on the prayer list at Macedonia United Methodist Church and of course Dad's church (Gainesboro United Methodist) both are here near Winchester, VA. Then of course there are even more people praying for you in Manassas, VA. Now we're waiting to hear you'll be heading home soon, so keep working on that! Hopefully Jake, Travis and I can make it over this summer before Jake goes into the navy.
    We love you,

  25. To Jim & The Tenney Family ~ Sending my thoughts & prayers to all of you. I have known Jim for several years, mostly from Kroger's. I have lived away, but while in Marietta Jim was always the first person to greet me at Kroger's. We became friends through "our weekly hellos" & I inherited a very good friend in the meantime. I have read the entire Recovery Blog, what a horrific ordeal ~ but Jim I know is "fighting the fight". Take care dear friend ~
