The Journey of James Weston

Thursday, March 25, 2021 Today James has just been resting up! He had another 3 hour hold in the morning with Mom. No real changes on the vent, just a little drifty.

We truly appreciate everything that has been sent and the amazing messages of support. W...

We will need to do some rearranging, since there will be a lot of storage bins to keep organized. Click on this link to get an idea of what we are expecting...
