They admitted him. His remaining leg is not looking good. Three surgeons will confer tomorrow morning
on whether and when his right leg will be amputated.
When I talked to him this afternoon, he consented to me asking for prayers regarding this latest health issue.
Prayers are our FRiends.
Good news and praying it gets even better JR.
Thank you so much for the ping, jazusamo.
Im comforted by the knowledge that, from his hospital bed, and facing an unknowable future, Jim takes the time and energy to tap out these messages to us sharing his medical updates. That tells me that Jim knows there are thousands of people who, though he will probably never meet most of them, care deeply about how hes doing and are checking into this thread looking for current information about his well being. Jim knows that thousands of people, strangers to each other, are joined in prayer for his health and healing because his creation and stewardship of freerepublic has added positive value to their lives. That he sends us these messages tells me he knows this, and I pray he is comforted and lifted up by that certainty, and by our prayers.
Prayers continuing.
I admire your positive outlook, Jim. Sounds like you have some wonderful doctors. Prayers continue for healing.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Jim. You have lots of folks praying for you.
Jim, I did check, and it was not honey but Karo Syrup compresses we used on an elderly lady with a leg ulcer. We did get it closed in the 2 weeks that she visited here in FL with her sister. (I am told the Karo because of cooking is not going to activate response to allergies...if you have them... to things in raw honey)
She went back to Canada and has lived for many years...98 now!
Hope they have great success for you with this alternate treatment!
Praying that your ulcer will heal completely.
Sounds to me your wound care specialist knows what she is talking about — she seems to be aware of alternative treatments that actually work and your ulcer can be healed. Great news that you can go to her clinic.
May God keep you in His graces, bless you and give you complete healing.
Prove the other nine doctors wrong. :)
AMEN to the wound care specialist.
I believe also!!
Jesus, touch this man.
Thank you.
Praying for your miracle!
You’re most welcome, lonevoice. You said it very well.
Jim, the latest update is brighter and more hopeful and thank God for that. Praying that the infection hasn’t spread to the bone, and there’s some way the ulcer can be healed.
You continue in our prayers.
It sounds promisng Jim.I’m impressed that the wound specialist uses honey since it;’s long been known as a healing treatment in homeopathic medicine.Unfortunately many medical Doctor’s overlook the old treatments in favor of what the drug companies offer.Never know the honey could help with the ulceration too.
Encouraging news! Prayers continue for full recovery.
thanks for the update, good to hear, we need warriors like JR about to stop these socialists and communists from taking this nation over.
They might have the media, Hollywood, teachers colleges lawyers but we have the truth and facts.
Great news, Jim! I will continue to pray for your healing. Your fellow FReepers are going to pray you through this!
Sorry you are suffering, Jim but glad to hear your good report today. We’ll continue to pray and you get better soon!
Prayers up for your healing.
Best of luck and prayers for you Jim!
Thank you for the update.
Prayers that the wound care specialist can help God speed up your healing.
