jimmy update 09/18/03
ok - am back, jimmy looking and feeling pretty good, he's optimistic - what strength and will the hombre has!!
they are going to begin asap a rigorous round of treatment that goes for 10 days or so. then the doc will release him to go south/home, he will be
watched closely and if needed he can return to VA SD anytime within the next year for add'l treatment (if needed) - all depends on how it/he responds.
He has to stay on oxy though, and that could be for the long haul, we need to get him a used oxy gen so he can plug in and not have to switch bottles,
he knows of one he can get from Bobby Van Wormer - maybe it will be a gift, i don't know - speaking of that famous family, Steve Van wormer showed up
and really made Jimmy's day - was not expected, he's a great guy too.
Now - plan change - doc prohibits jimmy from airplane travel - comm'l, private, any kind - no can do, i even have an O2 bottle for him i use for IFR
altitudes but still even with that doc says no....so the flight fund is now a road fund - gas, hotels food etc, and whatever is left can go for meds -
they are going to stock him for the ride south from VA. he is moving to another wing for treatment - not sure where - he says all amigos come visit -
i can tell you the stories were flowing last night - the guy is amazing, oh... and he's got his daytimer back. more later. lastly - we are thinking of
meeting him in mulege for a BBQ during his haul south, anyone in the area then - i'll post the schedule when we know it - is invited, he has many
friends in that area, sort of a 1/2 way home celebration. I plan to go and may have some seats avail - e me on that. adios.

Capt. Mike re: Jimmy's drive home
Capt. Mike,
Just a short message to let you know that should Jimmy get a late start, or need to make the first day's drive across the border short one, or for any
old reason, we have a guest house ready and waiting for him and his driving crew. Email me for details. We'd like to help out any way we can.
Saludos,
Paulina y Dern

Just talked to Jimmy on the phone, was having fun visiting with a "pretty lady" in his room. He's really been enjoying the visitors and the messages.
He hopes to be posting again soon with a borrowed laptop. Wow, that would be SO COOL!!!!
I'm watching for you Jimmy! Send up a flare when you get online!!!!!

I called Jimmy yesterday, and he is sounding great... very optimistic!
Expects to be here about 2 weeks before returning to Los Barriles.
I am still not totally recovered from my walking pnemonia, so I had to decline Jim's invitation for a visit.
I think it's wonderful that Baja Nomad is providing a wireless Internet laptop for Jimmy to use in the hospital!
Go Jimmy, go!!!

Don Jimmy
Wandered up to the VA this day to see the Don. He was very animinated as he spoke of some guy named Means (?) and his four kids who visited him this
weekend. Jimmy said that he really enjoyed the visit with a very nice man and his kids--the kids made him homesick.
Jimmy's private and personal Angel arranged a Buffet right in the hospital and everyone, including the staff, really enjoyed the feast.
Now I remember his first name is Doug and the Don blessed him with "he is an okay guy!" So now that the Don has spoken yea must all heed--Doug and
his kids are "A Okay."

Paulina & Dern,
I was just talking with Don Jimmy about plans for the trip South. He sounds real good today, and ready to come on home, ah yes, hope springs eternal.
Present plan is to leave Tuesday. And well, with checking out of hospital and checking in at the boarder, doesn?t look like they are going to get too
far on down the road that first day and taking you up on the offer for the use of the guest house for the first night?s stay could be real handy if it
is still a viable for you? I tried to e-mail you to get us connected, but alas I am not on my computer and I got bumped, so I am hoping you will read
this and respond, or someone else will pick it up and some how get the message to you.

I have friends who are neighbors of Paulina's. I stay with them on every trip south. They read the boards occaisionally if they are in town. I'll
email them the scoop. Maybe they can help as well.
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

Eli,
Got to the hospital today just after he hung up from talking to you. He really is ready to be gone.
Do you guys remember how last May we all automatically started a "Jimmy Sighting" post to track his travels to and from the VA and Keri's booksigning
so that Lupe and Sally were kept informed about his progress--WHY DON't WE START ONE FROM ABOUT NOON next Tuesday (10-14-03) and follow him and Char
south so that we all will know how things are going.
The couple who offered to give him shelter on the first night could be the first to post. WHAT DO YOU THINK???
Oh! Don Jimmy is aware that there have been almost 2,000 hits on this thread from his friends and it puts a rather large smile on his face.
Baja IS people helping people!

9/22 post by Baja Bernie...
The person named Means, with all the kids is the host of this web site, Doug Means aka Baja Nomad. A great guy!
Photos of Doug at Viva Baja 1,2, and 3 in my web site. One of those great kids was with him at #2 and 3.

Well, certainly do thank You Paulina. Glad you guys connected.
By the way, Bernie's suggestion to post if you spot him on the road sure would sit well and fine with Me and Dona Lupe.
