Just to update the situation Shoe has developed pnemonia and was put in intensive care yesterday afternoon. I spoke to him yesterday morning before latest battle & spirits were upbeat. Tracey said he looks ok just problems inside.Please keep Jim in your thoughts & prayers.

Tom:

Tell her not to pay what the hospital bills her. Find out what most insurance
companies/medicare pays for the same services. They pay a fraction
of what is billed and always bill double or more than they expect to get
so they will get more.

Tell them Merry Christmas from all 'us' racers and will include them
in our prayers;

S.E.

I just came from the hospital.. The Shoe is some fighter!!!

Spirits are high - but still in intensive care..

One request from the Hospital... Please do not call there. They are getting hundreds of calls, and can not forward a call to his room.. and they can not give a patient's status to anyone over the phone..

The hospital realizes they have a 'celebrity' in their presence.. based on the amount of visitors and phone calls..! ! !

As I was leaving he told me - "Don't worry, I'll be fine", as he winked at me..

Get well JIM...
