Both these recent cases with these elders in the Fairfield meditating community, friends and folks immediately came out of the community to help. Real quick in the assessment of circumstance that sent these cases to the emergency rooms at hospitals as friends and then some family arrived the questions arose as to who has medical power of attorney for them in either case and then who might be power of attorney for their welfare. It was not clear in either case initially. They both are with things enough that it is being worked out for them with them. That does not always or necessarily happen in these kinds of circumstance. We have a pretty good community this way in the Fairfield meditating community.

He radiates love and happiness and declares repeatedly 'God, God, it's all God and don't you forget it!' Whether it's afriend he's known for decades, the nurse arriving to take blood or the man serving him his food, he's expressing his love of God and blessing everyone and they respond with appreciation. He really loves all the calls he's received, they've really meant alot to him. Cody, the therapy dog, visited James today and they became immediate friends.

Can you let everyone know that James has a brain tumor and they're doing a biopsy surgerytomorrow morning at 11:15 central time so all prayers and blessings during that time is appreciated. This could actually be good news because it could mean that once the tumor is shrunk or removed, it may relieve some of the debilitating symptoms he's been experiencing. Several people visited today and he was really full of gratitude for everyone's love and attention. Lots of love M
