Change in plans! The surgeon cancelled his trip. All tests are go.
Surgery is now planned for tomorrow morning.
Will be transferring soon out of ICU to a regular room.
The chaplain stopped in for another prayer. Looks like we’re ready to go.
Pulse rate coming down. Prayers up!

PRAISE GOD!
Thank you, Lord!
God bless you, dearest Jim!
Thank you ALL for your prayers, and please continue praying!
Surgery for Jim tomorrow morning. We'll let y'all know as soon as Jim lets us know!
Our FReepathon got off to a great start yesterday with 18 Donations of $100 or more and 5 New Monthly Donors, including 1 New $1-A-Day Donor! I mention these Donations because of our Campaigns: Our 300 Club and Our New Monthly Donor Campaign, which I'll describe below.
Every quarter, FReeper I_be_tc, challenges 300 FReepers to match her $100 donation. Yesterday, I kicked-off I_be_tc's $100 challenge with my $100 donation to get things started, so please join me, if you possible can!
It was a big stretch for me, but I want to try to get this FReepathon done quickly for Jim's sake, and I know y'all do, too.
If you send in $100 or more per quarter, please send me a note (in Jim's temporary absence) and I'll add your screen name to the 300 Club Roster! Now, please don't be shy about adding your name. We know you're humble, but seeing your names on the Roster often times inspires others to join you!
Our New Monthly Donor Campaign got off to a great start, too! We conduct this campaign because reliable Monthly Donations are an ideal way to support Free Republic. We already have 3 Very Generous FReeper Sponsors, Tijeras_Slim, upchuck and "somebody", for this Quarter's NMD Campaign! All three FReepers are donating $10.00 for each New Monthly Donor who signs up, so please consider Donating Monthly, if you can reliably do so! $15 a month is 50 cents a day. Please ask yourselves, "what is FR worth to you?"
Whether your donation is $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100 or more, it all helps keep FR alive and will be sincerely and truly appreciated!!
In closing, I know times are tough, unconscionably tough, but for Jim's sake, I'm asking you all to please dig deep and to please dig deep right away or as soon as you possibly can, so that Jim can spend as much time as he needs to recover after his successful surgery, instead of spending 2 months fundraising.
In Jim's temporary absence, Just Amy, (whom you all know and adore) is posting the incoming. She is Jim's life-long, close friend and also his business partner and FR's bookkeeper. So please, let's get those donations coming in! However, with Jim in his own room tonight, we might see him here again too!
We Can Do This, provided We ALL pitch in right away. Please always remember, $25 keeps FR ALIVE!!

Thank you all so very much!!

Our good Lord is listening. God bless and keep you all and everyone you love.

Prayers for Jim his beautiful wife Sheila and sons Chris and John and his fabulous, caring doctors.
Lord, hear our prayers.
So glad. Thanks for the update
Wow that does look confusing using shrink pictures.....seems like a lot more steps then what I’m doing now...which is direct from the photo to here. But I might try it just to see.
Thanks for helping...
So thankful our Jim is resting and being cared for with the kindness he deserves. So thankful for FRiends who are blessed to be there with Jim, today.
Sending group hugs to all...right through this laptop :)
One more little thing.
If you want to see the picture at its original size for some reason, you can right-click it with your mouse and click “view image.”
That helps if you want to temporarily make it big enough to see some detail that is not clear in the smaller version.
To get back, just go back one page.
Yeah...now I’m blushing...didn’t realize there was an audience of Freepers watching me get “classed” HA!
Now, if I could just learn how to post those Twitter tweets...of the entire, framed tweet.
Woo hoo!! Look at that handsome fellow lookin’ back at all of us FReepers ;)
Praise God - and thanks for the update...
Praise the Lord, you’re going to be all right. Prayer works, by the Grace of God, and you deserved every prayer lifted to plead for His Mercy and your healing.
May God continue to bless you and your family, always.
Good tip....am still learning for sure....I tried that..your right !! Of course ;)
Trisham “schooled” me on a FReepathon thread. I simply could NOT get a graphic to line up correctly. We wrestled with it for a long time while everyone watched. LOL
I used to do both width and height as well, carefully calculating the ratios, and then I forgot one of them once and learned that only one is needed. ;-)
I am so sorry, but I don’t go on social networking sites, and have no idea how to post tweets(?) or anything else there.
But I bet a lot of other FReepers will be able to chime in here and help you with that. Best wishes!
It is interesting and fun to play around with this stuff and ask, “what will it do if I do THIS?” and then experiment.
You’re picking it up fast, and you’ll be showing others who ask these questions before too long.
Well then...I don’t feel so flushed then...;)
I'm supposed to be sleeping so don't tell anyone that I posted :)
Yes, sweetest George, Prayers answered, again. Praise God!
We’re so thankful for His blessings.
I’ll say good night now. I’m exhausted.
God bless and keep you all.
Continued prayers for Jim’s complete and very fast recovery.
We need him back here leading us and at the helm where he belongs.
