snertley Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 My best friends wife came up to the floor where I work tonight, and the look wasn't good. She informed me that his bonemarrow biopsy showed like 95% myeloma cells in in his bone marrow. This sucks major ass. Best guess without transfusions he will live a week or two. We have talked about this day for a long time, but it still hurts like hell. The thought of loosin my best friend and shooting partner is tearing my up. On top of it, its killing me I can not FIX him. I met him before his first bonemarrow transplant 8yrs ago ( I am a bonemarrow transplant nurse). Jim is the guy that would pick up my son and take him to matchs when I was working, and my constant shooting partner for the last 8yrs. As well as one of the big supporters of IDPA in Michigan from the start. It will be a sad, sad day when I(we) lose Jim Fiebke. Please put Jim and his family in your prayers.

waxman Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hearing that news last night was pretty tough to take. I have know Jim for 3 years now. Words cant express how great of a guy he is. I never remember Jim not happy when he was shooting. My wife could hardly contain the tears when she heard the news. God Speed Jim. We are praying for you.
