My, I thought Jim had undergone surgery a couple of weeks ago and I was thinking of him just today, wondering how he was doing.
Jim, you surely and certainly are in my prayers. I shall pray, “O Eternal Lord Christ, who art the strength of all who trust in Thee; I bring into thy Blessed Presence thy servant Jim. I know not what is best for him, but Thou knowest. I ask Thee to lay Thy healing hand upon him, giving him all that is needful for health of body and soul. I ask Thee to grant him patience and endurance, with a perfect dependence upon Thy never failing love and work out in him the good pleasure of Thy Holy Will, all which I and countless others ask in your Holy Name. Amen.
May God bless the means made use of for his cure and may He guide and direct those who minister to him so that there is a healthful issue out of his affliction, all which we pray in Jesus’ healing Name. Amen.
Jim had gone through an angio recently. This surgery is for the infection that has been ravaging his body and is going to take his leg. I pray this relieves his pain and removes all the infection so he can get back to living.
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.
I am praying for you, Jim and thank you for all the hard work you do keeping FR up and going! Free Republic has been my favorite online community for years, and that is a tribute to you!
