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.

Praying for Jim & family

[Pegita]

Morning Prayer for you, dear Jim ...

Good Morning, Lord

Good morning, Lord, the night has passed,
Just as You said it would;
And once again I gaze upon
Your world and find it good.

The darkness fades, as darkness will,
And so my heart is light,
For You await to share my day
Who watched me through the night.

I cannot see what lies ahead,
But I am sure You know,
So take my hand and walk with me,
Wherever I may go.

No joy or pain is ever sent,
Save by Thine own accord,
So in the shadow of Thy love,
I say ... Good morning, Lord.

-—Grace E. Easley

My thoughts and prayers are with Jim and his family and friends. I’m hoping all goes well and he can finally have the pain free life he so deserves. Rest well my good man, and dream only sweet thoughts.

Jim, I lift you up to our Lord and Saviour, may He grant you that Peace that passeth all understanding.

The human body is in truth a fragile thing, but what resides within it is where our strength comes from, it is the soul and the life we live which God has granted us, and He has promised that nothing shall pluck us from His Hands. You have that Promise I am as sure of that as I am sure of the sunrise coming up on the other coast right now.

Our Great Physician has everything under control, Doctor Jesus has a 100 percent success rate, you could not be in better Hands.

It is our human tendency sometimes to reduce our worries, fears and concerns to two words, “why Lord?” and He understands that, and the answer is:

“So that God may be Glorified, fear not”

We all love you Jim, and the Lord is with you.

Amen, Lord, Amen. May Thy Will Be Done.
