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 not sure how I posted the message with my prayer for healing and strength to the other thread,(here, in post #17 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2015937/posts ).

May you have a similar swift recovery. And may the Lord give you freedom from pain and infection.
but I’ll just spread it around, I guess.

God bless, Jim!

Thanks for the update JustAmy.

I’m pinging the Nascar gang to join in prayer for Jim.

O merciful Father, who have wonderfully fashioned man in your own image, and have made his body to be a temple of the Holy Spirit, sanctify, we pray you, our doctors and nurses and all those whom you have called to study and practice the arts of healing the sick and the prevention of disease and pain. Strengthen them in body and soul, and bless their work, that they may give comfort to those for whose salvation your Son became Man, lived on this earth, healed the sick, and suffered and died on the Cross.

Lord hear our prayers. Amen.

[Peace4EarthNow]

Prayers up for Jim!

[Shelayne]

Prayers up for you, Mr. Robinson. May the Lord comfort you, strengthen you, and lay His healing hands on you. May he give the doctors wisdom and guide the surgeon’s hands. May He be your refuge, your strength, and your comfort. May you find rest in Him.

I lift this prayer in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

My deepest prayers are with Jim and his family. May our Lord Jesus Christ heal him and bless him. Thank you for everything Jim.

[Fawnn]

Prayers continue!

Some people have the gift of intercession. Others, like myself, just pray and hope (and pray) that we’re doing the best that we can. But, gift of intercession or not, Jim has come to mind countless times today — and I lifted another prayer each time. Multiply that by all the other FReeper prayers being said on his behalf, our Jim is multiply blessed.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks narses.

[fatima]

We know the minister or priest visited him.This is natural in the hospital situation.We ask all to continue to offer prayers for our Jim during this time .As a Catholic I add this prayer for our much loved Jim.
