We send our well wished to Jim and we look forward to your return to the stage.

 



Update March 18, 2022 - Judith Shea shared the following on Facebook
Update on Jim: Due to some more complications, Jim has been admitted to the hospital again. At this time he does not have to have another surgery, hopefully it stays that way. We would like to thank everyone for being so generous with us, through the GoFundMe, the cards, and especially the prayers. I ask for Jim to be kept in your thoughts and prayers a little longer, he really needs it! Love to you all!

Update March 21, 2022 - Judith Shea shared the following on Facebook
Update on Jim: Still hospitalized, they are trying to get an infection under control. Hopefully he will only be here for a day or two more. Thank you for all the prayers!

Update March 25, 2022 - Judith Shea shared the following on Facebook
Update on Jim: He is home again! Hopefully for good this time. He will have some IV therapy at home over the next few weeks, but it is so much better home than the hospital.

Thank you all and we love you!
