Prayers for Jim Robinson
May 14, 2008

Posted on 05/14/2008 5:16:40 PM PDT by trussell

 

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.

Thanks.

Am relieved by those added bits of info about their discussion together.

Glad he could make the decision supported by them.

I’ve forgotten, Chris is grandson?

I just felt the need to post this photo of Jim, it is one of my favorites that my husband took at a Fresno rally four years ago.

My prayers continue for this patriot and founder of our home on the internet.

Thank you to all the prayer warriors who are lifting Jim up today.

Prayers up for Jim. In a time when athletes and actors are called heros for attaining fame, real heros, those who have stood strong through tough times and lifted up their fellow man, sometimes get less recognition than they deserve. Here’s to a real hero - Jim Robinson.

You are undergoing surgery right now.

You are more of a man than many of us can hope to be.

With or without all of your original parts.

God grants the doctors and nurses wisdom, and strength to you, Sheila and your family.

Jim and Sheila have two sons, John and Chris.

Chris lives at home and is a big help to Jim and Sheila.

He was responsible for giving Jim his insulin shot and for changing the bandages on Jim’s legs twice a day.

A nurse was coming by once a day to change the bandages and Chris was doing it twice a day. Jim was losing a huge amount of fluid through his legs.

Your welcome. It seems so little in light of what Jim has done over the years with this website.

Praying all is going well this morning.

Lori .... Thanks.

That picture brought tears.

I’m looking forward to being able to hold another rally after Jim gets through this.

I’m also looking forward to seeing lots of guests at our Annual FReeper picnic in September.

Thanks again for the great picture of Jim.
