Prayers for Jim Robinson

Prayer Request

Jim Robinson is having surgery tomorrow, May 15th

See the posts below for information about this procedure.

Jim Update:

It has been a frustrating day, I finally have a update for everyone.

I called Jim at the hospital. The nurse was in his room and gave him the phone. Sheila took his cell phone to him so I will be able to contact him easier. Also they took his laptop.

Due to major pain killers, he was able to sleep in the bed last night and was in bed when I called.

He sounded better than he has for the past few months.
He will be there for at least one more night; maybe more depending on decisions being made tonight.

They may remove Jim's left leg at the knee tomorrow. The docs have told him that the poison in that leg is going to continue causing problems.

Jim is really reluctant to let them remove the leg but I told him that if it will relieve the pain and stop all the damage it is doing to his internal organs, he should let them take it. Jim cannot use his legs now. He only has limited use of his right leg and no muscle remains in his left leg. The muscular dystrophy has done a number on his muscles while he has been ill.

I hope this makes sense.

When I hear what the decision is, I will let you know. In the meantime, Jim needs our prayers tonight and tomorrow.

Father, hear our prayers.

Thanks for all the updates, Amy

I just talked to Chris and he said that Notpoliticallycorewrecked is visiting with Jim at this time.

He also said that the Doctors have decided that tomorrow Jim has to make the decision about his leg

The Doctors believe, as you stated, that it has to be removed to keep the infection from spreading.

So I imagine that is the decision he will make.

Don't worry about him getting online, he has an “air” card so he can get online anywhere.

He misses being able to read and post here tremendously naturally. This is his baby.

Good news that the swelling has gone down dramatically in his left leg and that for the first time in months he is not in pain 24 hrs a day and was able to sleep more than usual.

Chris had no idea how long he would be hospitalized, but I would imagine it will be several more days, especially if the operation on his leg is done soon.

Good advice you gave Jim, Amy.

Yes, Mama Bear don't hesitate to visit, it will be highly appreciated and encouraging to see such good friends as you and that jk I'm sure

Jim is blessed indeed to have family that are watching over him closely and taking care of his needs, getting him to the hospital and other numerous tasks

And the legion here that are pulling for him.

Today's short update:

I just talked to Jim; the surgery will be performed tomorrow. He doesn't know what time yet. He said he is feeling pretty good. Also, he slept off and on last night. May have been due to the stress.

I am going to try to see him this afternoon. He has some tests scheduled but he doesn't think they will take very long.

He is not allowed to have his laptop in the patient area so he cannot get online until he can get down to the lobby.

His words ..... "Please tell everyone how much I appreciate their thoughts and prayers. Oh Yeah ..... tell them I'll be back online as soon as I'm able.

Anyway, thank you for your prayers.

I'm post this for Amy 'cause she's having computer problems at the moment . . .

You would think with Amy's connections (John and Jim Robinson) that she would not of gone HP!

Naw, it's easy to see the real problem . . .

I told Jim that the moderators are flipping coins to determine who should be banned.

. . . Amy must've come up tails!

[firewalk]

Thank you for the continued updates (:

I told Jim that all of the male FReepers were jealous of his flowers from Ann Coulter and Melanie Morgan.

Wow, didn't know about the flowers.

[JustAmy]

LOL

I’m still begging the nurses to give Jim his laptop so he can let the moderators know that I’ve served enough of my suspension.

[big'ol_freeper]

Thanks for the update!! Great news! Glad Jim is doing well.

Who is Ann Coulter?... kidding...really I am. Lil’freeper does not like me to acknowledge that I notice a good-looking blonde. *wink*

And imagine that I’ve not been banned in Jim’s absence. How can anybody say there is not a God?!!

Jim, keep the faith brother! We’re pulling for you.

Continued prayers.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well then, I guess NO one’s safe if YOU got banned!

:)

[brityank]

Thanks for the update, Fiddlsticks and JustAmy — my prayers continue for Jim’s full recovery and successful rehab.

[combat_boots]

Blessings.

JustAmy, Fiddlstix,

Thanks

[luvie]

Thanks for the update, Fiddlstix. I am thankful that Jim is regaining strength and his courage in the face of this ordeal was amazing.

God bless you, Jim, and your family. God continue to strengthen you so you can be home soon!

[TAdams8591]

Glad to hear Jim is fairing well. I hope Jim remains in good spirits. Prayers and best wishes continue from Don and I!

[null and void]

I told Jim that all of the male FReepers were jealous of his flowers from Ann Coulter and Melanie Morgan. He laughed and said Oh Yeah?

Oh Yeah???

HELL Yeah!

[JustAmy]

LOL

Jim and John are the only safe ones!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well, that just doesn’t seem right, does it?

Huuuuummmmmmmpppphhhhh

[Fiddlstix]

I’m still begging the nurses to give Jim his laptop so he can let the moderators know that I’ve served enough of my suspension.

LOL! Hey....

Maybe someone got confused and thought.....

ASH ALERT!!!!

meant....

AMY ALERT!!!!

ROTFL!!!

Dr. Zoo typing for Jim:

Howdy everyone.

Looks like I made it through the surgery OK, bad leg is gone. So far, so good.

Hope to be able to get out of this bed pretty soon and get back to work.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers and well wishes.

Freepers are absolutely the greatest.

The VA hospital is the best place to go for this kind of stuff.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Yowza’s!!!!

HI JIM!!!!! God bless you!!!! We’re all holding down the fort, and praying our HEARTS out for your total and complete recovery.

LISTEN TO THE DOCS, get some rest...eat lots, and hug Sheila!!!

[Fiddlstix]

You Know The Rules!
