To those of you who know Jim Watts and are wondering at his disappearance from the forum- he asked us to let you all know that he is in the hospital recovering from a systemic infection and surgery. He is expected to be released no earlier than a week from now. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rebecca and Emily (2 of his daughters)

Rebecca and Emily, I do not know your father, he was probably here before me, but your message touched me . My thoughts and prayers are with you.

When he feels better, just let him know that we are all with him.

Thanks so much to everyone for your kind words-- I'm going to take my laptop and read them all to Dad . Being covered by your prayers means alot to us. There have been a few more complications. Jim now has pneumonia, and his gastrointestinal system isn't working properly. He still has the infection throughout his body, but the Dr.'s feel they're moving in the right direction in the treatment for that.

Thank you very much,
Rebecca

Ps: For those who asked for a mailing address it is:
418 Grand Canyon
Los Alamos, NM 87544
