Poor Stevo. He was supposed be home at 12:30 this morning, but ended up getting stuck in Phoenix. Hopefully he'll be here in an hour or so :( Despite the travel gremlins, he had a great visit with his dad.

Their wonderful visit together was a blessing. How terrific that they appreciated the opportunity. Gratitude is everything. Welcome home, Stevo. You did good!
Love, Ima

Stevo really did do good. Big Tuna is going home tomorrow, but without a feeding tube because he won't be able to tolerate the procedure. He's getting nutrition through his veins, TPN. We're grateful he can be home with his wife, step-sons and his adorable dog, Dolly. All we're focusing on now is LOVE. That's all that matters on this third marble from the sun :)

Stevo is in San Diego spending time with his dad. Big Tuna Bill is comfortable at home and the Hospice people are helping a lot. Stevo is holding up very well. I'm really proud of him.

I'm praying for all of you and sending hugs! My heart goes out to Stevo. I'm glad that he's getting to spend time with his dad, but I hate that it's under these circumstances.

The Hospice folks are angels. They will make Big Tuna Bill's last days comfortable for him and everyone around him.
