I left the house a little before 8am for the hospital.  I listened to 2 Nephi 8-9 on the way over.  I tried to call James but his phone went straight to voicemail.  I just thought he was on the phone  I stopped at the McDonald's on Indian School and Hayden for some oatmeal and orange juice for James.  When I get to the hospital I ask James where his phone is.  He doesn't know.  We begin a search, but no phone.  The night nurse, Mandy, cleaned up and moved everything around and now James's phone is gone.  I am so upset that in her attempt to clean she was so careless as to lose his phone.  I can think of no other explanation.  James seems to think she threw it away in the See's candy bag he had.  His Superman watch I got him for Father's Day is also missing.  He wants me to go outside and check the hospital dumpster.  I think his judgment is a little impaired because of the drugs he is on. 

James is feeling a little better today until he gets out of bed to get cleaned up, then he feels the pain!  While he is us Lisa, the nurses aide and I change the sheets on the bed and look for the phone.  No luck. The sad thing is that all of his contacts both business, personal and church are in that phone.

Lloyd and his wife Tracy come by for a visit.  Tracy finds the Verizon number for us and we call and stop the service on James's phone.  Tracy is a 6'5" black girl from Long Island, New York.  She and her Mom ran a cupcake bakery there.  She has been a member of the Church for 3 years.  She and Lloyd met via the Church singles site on the internet.  She seems nice.  I like her. 

The Desert Highlands job starts Monday so Lloyd and James have a meeting to make sure everything is ready.  Gail is coming down from Oregon to help with the job.  James did not ask him to but did tell him about the job.  That is just the kind of brother Gail is.  The stress of the job is that they want it done in one week. 

Lance and Karen Schneider came by for a visit this afternoon.  They brought dark chocolate covered almonds from See's.  They are James's favorite. 

Sheri, Ian, Alex, Ben, Max, Evan, and Michael also came by for a visit this afternoon just as Karen and Lance were leaving.  They brought James some chicken marsala from Olive Garden.  Usually this is one of his favorite things to eat but because of his loss of appetitie he just couldn't finish it all. 

James and Evan

After eveyone was gone I went down to the cafeteria and got us some dessert.  This lemon cream cake was delicious!

This evening we watched a movie called "Firelight" about a young girl who went to prison and then turned her life around and provided the inspiration for others to also turn their lives around.  It was good.

James got his bandage changed this evening.  This is something I will be doing when we get home.

Why is it so red?

My favorite character from Glee died today.  He played Finn Hudson.  His name was Cory Montieth.  He died of a drug and alcohol overdose.  So sad.  He was only 31.  Although I no longer watch Glee I enjoyed Finn's character because he was so good, most of the time.
