Hello fellow members of 12160,

I just got off the phone with James and am happy to inform you all that he's in good spirits and is doing well. He sustained second degree burns and smoke inhalation due to the fire but is healing up slowly but surely and is taking it one day at a time. He may have to have surgery to repair damaged skin due to the burns and will know for sure on the 22nd. All in all he is doing great considering what he has been through.

The cats are doing alright considering the trauma they went through but as cats go, they are adaptable critters and will be happy and content as long as James is their buddy. 

His house is still in tact, it however was gutted and will take some time to clean up and be ready to live in again. Although he has lost all material items/possessions, by the outpouring of help that he's got from members here, friends and the community in which he lives, he's getting back on his feet one step at a time. Combine that with a fighter spirit within, he'll be back in the saddle soon enough. As the old saying goes, "time heals all wounds."

For anyone that is sending clothes, shoes to James......his pant size is 32" 33", his shirt size is large and shoe size is 10 1/2. I'm sure he'll certainly be in need of clothing items if you have them to spare.

James would like to thank you all from the bottom of his heart and he greatly appreciates all the love and support you've been giving to him.

Thank you so much 12160, you all rock!
