Jim Robinson is having surgery today

Posted on 05/01/2008 10:32:16 AM PDT by trussell

Jim Robinson is in surgery today and the last thing he needs to be worried about is whether or not the freepathon is going to continue for another day/week/month.

In the words of "Larry, The cable guy"... LETS GET 'ER DONE!!

Father, hear our prayers.

Amen!

Father, may You guide and direct the best course of action for Jim Robinson. Convey wisdom and discretion to all the medical staff, that they may do what is best according to Your will and plan for Jim.
In Jesus' holy name, we pray.

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

Thanks for the update, Syncro.

Glad to know you have your laptop, Jim, and that you can get on line when you feel up to it. Lots of people are praying for you. And we are hoping to be able to come up on Sunday and see how you are doing.

I hope you get a good nights sleep and that Sheila, knowing you are in good hands, has a restful night too. :-)

Thanks for the update. Giving up body parts isn't a pleasant choice. I've been there when I had cancer in 1985. It was surgery or death in my case. I was on the table 14 hours after getting the news.

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe”—Prov. 18:10.

Jim, the Lord is your strong tower. We are praying for the decision you must make today.

” And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”—Phil. 4:7

He will give you peace, and wisdom to make this decision.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.”—Psalm 46:1

He will not leave you in the midst of your trial.

“So we say with confidence,”The Lord is my Helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”—Hebrews 13:6

The Lord is in control, and He stands ready to help.

Jim, I pray for strength for today, and hope for tomorrow—listen to wise counsel, and commit your decisions to Him who is the lover of your soul. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. Nor will He try you above what you are able to endure, with His help.

I have a bit of experience in this area. In 2005 I broke my ankle and with the side effects of diabetes, my ankle set in a 45 degree sideways bend. It also became badly infected. I spent 14 months trying to save the leg, never able to stand up. In December of 2006, as a result of continued infections, the doctors and I decided on an amputation below the knee — because of heart trouble it was performed without general anesthesia, no fun at all! I now have a prosthesis, can walk a little with a walker, and am 100% better than I was during the period with the bad leg. and at least I don't have to worry about it any longer.

Just my experience, do what you and your doctor's think best. You continue to be in my prayers.

I pray that he continues to get the rest he needs and that the doctors’ decisions and hands will be guided by G-d Almighty.

I am having others pray as well. I will add prayers of strength for the whole family. And for you, Amy.

I'm sorry to hear about Jim's leg, but I believe he will not long miss it once he is well and can dwell on what brings him joy rather than pain.

I pray that, should this be God's Will to go this route, that the healing of body and soothing of spirit be swift, and Jim Robinson can resume this incredible adventure the world has come to know as FreeRepublic.

Job 12:10 ~ In His hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

Heavenly Father, I pray that the Power of the Holy Spirit will so overwhelm Jim and his family, that decisions made about his health care will have come from the Heart of God. Lead them in the way they should go, Merciful Father, that they soon will know the blessedness of a return to joyous health. Guard and encamp around them ... protect from further infection ... let nothing interfere or hinder a successful recovery. May the love of the FReepers and the prayers of the saints be an encouragement and comfort to Jim and Sheila and their family during this time of trial.

In the Name of Jesus, we Praise You for Your Love and Mercy, Amen ...

Thank you for the update. Very early prayers this morning for Jim and Sheila. Thanks be to God he was able to sleep, thanks be to God for pain relief. Prayers for doctors, nurses, family, and most especially for Jim, for peace of mind and heart.

Thanks, Syncro. Prayers continue for Jim, Sheila, family, and recovery.

I’m so sorry to hear about an amputation, but sometimes that is the only way to go, in order to heal. Very glad to hear there is less pain; praying that continues. It’s so hard to think, when you’re hurting.

God bless you, Jim, with health, peace, and comfort.

Thank you so much for the updates.

God has answered prayers in getting JimRob into the hospital. ...that is where he needs to be.....and it sounds like he is finally getting rest and help with the pain and getting rehydrated and antibiotics in him. From your report, sounds like all that has helped so much.

Of course the left leg - oh how we ask God to save his leg if there is any way to do that. But we know and trust that God IS IN CHARGE and will bring healing however it must be done.

His promises are true. I thank God for all the good medical care that has come to Jim and will continue to come to him.

I thank God for all the people who are praying for Jim and for your efforts to keep everyone updated.

Our God shall supply all JimRob’s need according to His riches in Christ Jesus!
