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.

Thanks for the pics.

What a pretty young lady Jim has for a companion.

Good name Prissy Missy.....

Jim is a very lucky man to have so many friends.

[JustAmy]

I agree .... you can see by those pictures that Jim has had a really rough 3 or 4 months.

He says 3 weeks but it has been much longer than 3 weeks. I think he quit driving 3 weeks ago. But his smile today was genuine.

[pissant]

Thanks Amy. And thanks to all who are keeping Jim from getting any rest. LOL.

[Judith Anne]

What great pictures! Thanks so much for posting them, they are terrrific. Praying for Jim to be completely ready to go home Tuesday.

[JustAmy]

Thank you ... PrissyMissy thinks Jim is pretty special.

She was asking him today when were we going to go back to the corner to Support the Troops.

She misses those rallies.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Maybe that is why he was tired. ;^ )

[Kitty Mittens]

Oh, Amy, I'm Glad I'm still Up; these Pics of Marissa and Jim are Wonderful, and I'm Like her: I Like them Both! Hopefully Jim will be Able to Go Home Soon so he can be More Comfortable in Familiar, Comforting Surroundings. God Bless him, and our Lord Enfold him Every Moment in His Loving Grace!

(((((Hugs))))) and Thank you!

[RockerMom2MyHero]

Wonderful pictures! No wonder Jim has a smile on his face with all those visitors and beautiful flowers! Thanks so much for sharing and the great updates.

Many prayers that Jim will soon be home to recover in the comfort of his own home. What an inspiration Jim is!

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Kitty Mittens.

We had a nice visit today.

I hope Jim can go home soon but I hope they keep him until he is ready to go home.

Talking to him, it seemed that he is able to maneuver enough so he should do okay at home.

[txhurl]

I can see Marissa has chirped him up. :)

Get back soon.

[Diver Dave]

Thanks for the pix and update.

Tell Jim I’ll get him a cold “San Magu” to ward off the upset stomach.

[Kitty Mittens]

Bedtime Prayers Incoming Now...Goodnight, Dear Amy, and God Bless you!

[eyedigress]

We are all praying.

[BooBoo1000]

Just don’t rush it Jim, make sure you are ready to go home before you go. Just take your time and let things heal up, you are still a young man and lots of time to do things. So just take it easy.

[Reagan Man]

Thanks for keeping us posted with all the updates.

Looking good, Jim!

[Marcella]

I hope Jim gets back to normal soon because I have to keep clicking on this website for the latest update - click, click. all day long. Home is glorious after a hospital.

[amom]

Excellent news update! Great photos and Marissa is such a cutie! How could one NOT smile with her around?

Ongoing prayers for a swift recovery and to be homeward bound as soon as you are able Jim.
