Jim had angioplasty surgery on May 1st after blockage was found in both legs.

Everyone had hoped this would solve the problems that Jim was having. He continued to be in so much pain that he could not sleep in a bed. He slept in his wheelchair. His medical issues seemed to multipy. When he was taken by ambulance to the hospital last Sunday, they admitted him. He was dehydrated, his kidneys were not functioning properly and he was very weak.

Hopefully by removing the infected leg, with the help of antibotics his body will cleanse itself of the infection.

I should get an update sometime tonight.

Thank you and bless you both for letting me know about Jim’s earlier surgery and the complications from same. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in replying to me.

I’m sure Jim will be in good hands tomorrow and that he’ll come through this just fine. Meanwhile, we’ll be praying.
