Change in plans! The surgeon cancelled his trip. All tests are go.
Surgery is now planned for tomorrow morning.
Will be transferring soon out of ICU to a regular room.
The chaplain stopped in for another prayer. Looks like we’re ready to go.
Pulse rate coming down. Prayers up!

PRAISE GOD!
Thank you, Lord!
God bless you, dearest Jim!
Thank you ALL for your prayers, and please continue praying!
Surgery for Jim tomorrow morning. We'll let y'all know as soon as Jim lets us know!
Our FReepathon got off to a great start yesterday with 18 Donations of $100 or more and 5 New Monthly Donors, including 1 New $1-A-Day Donor! I mention these Donations because of our Campaigns: Our 300 Club and Our New Monthly Donor Campaign, which I'll describe below.
Every quarter, FReeper I_be_tc, challenges 300 FReepers to match her $100 donation. Yesterday, I kicked-off I_be_tc's $100 challenge with my $100 donation to get things started, so please join me, if you possible can!
It was a big stretch for me, but I want to try to get this FReepathon done quickly for Jim's sake, and I know y'all do, too.
If you send in $100 or more per quarter, please send me a note (in Jim's temporary absence) and I'll add your screen name to the 300 Club Roster! Now, please don't be shy about adding your name. We know you're humble, but seeing your names on the Roster often times inspires others to join you!
Our New Monthly Donor Campaign got off to a great start, too! We conduct this campaign because reliable Monthly Donations are an ideal way to support Free Republic. We already have 3 Very Generous FReeper Sponsors, Tijeras_Slim, upchuck and "somebody", for this Quarter's NMD Campaign! All three FReepers are donating $10.00 for each New Monthly Donor who signs up, so please consider Donating Monthly, if you can reliably do so! $15 a month is 50 cents a day. Please ask yourselves, "what is FR worth to you?"
Whether your donation is $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100 or more, it all helps keep FR alive and will be sincerely and truly appreciated!!
In closing, I know times are tough, unconscionably tough, but for Jim's sake, I'm asking you all to please dig deep and to please dig deep right away or as soon as you possibly can, so that Jim can spend as much time as he needs to recover after his successful surgery, instead of spending 2 months fundraising.
In Jim's temporary absence, Just Amy, (whom you all know and adore) is posting the incoming. She is Jim's life-long, close friend and also his business partner and FR's bookkeeper. So please, let's get those donations coming in! However, with Jim in his own room tonight, we might see him here again too!
We Can Do This, provided We ALL pitch in right away. Please always remember, $25 keeps FR ALIVE!!

Prayers for Jim his beautiful wife Sheila and sons Chris and John and his fabulous, caring doctors.
Lord, hear our prayers.
I think it's time for me to call it quits for tonight.
Very nice, and very true. That is lovely.
Soooo glad to see you tonight!
She sure does.
Good night, you two beautiful girls.
God bless and keep you.
Night Red.
Buuuuump!
I had great help on the Egypt thread when I first started posting photos...ThouWorm...showed me ‘how it should look’ which was far better then explaining what to push.
Next I want to learn how to start a thread....I get some really good news often before the MSM gets it and all I can do is link it at best.
Remember when the Kenya Mall was bombed....well right away I learned the ‘White widow” may have been responsible, and about her. We were on to her before the news ever got it.
OH WOW! I NEVER expected to hear from you tonight, dear JimRob! What a relief it must be to know that the surgery is behind you and any pain you have now is healing pain — discomfort one gets as you are getting better. Praise the Lord!
Good night, everyone!
Sleep well, pleasant dreams, and may God bless you and yours.
God bless Jim R.....have a restful night...
Awwww.....you are FReeping! I am in tears now! God Bless you sweet patriot! Get some rest...lol.
Love, hugs and kisses!! God is Good!
The “white widow” story broke, what?, three days after the bombing. FR had it right first.
Praise God!!
So good to hear from you. Tell your docs that they were the cause of a lot of stress. It was a long day of watching the clock and hitting refresh.
We will be up to see you Saturday. Probably after Marissa’s dentist appt. She has been showing off her new smile ... now she is ready for her cleaning.
Take care and get lots of rest.
Same to you. God answered our many prayers, today. We’re all resting in His blessed grace :)
Sleep well, dear TheOldLady!
Yea...we were talking about her before it broke (that she was involved) by the news....meaning before they began to put her into the picture. I recall saying there was more about her involved in this then they were willing to say...and that it was because she was British they weren’t going to make issue about it.
It was the same thing before the Revolution began in Egypt...some of us knew this was going to be huge and why we stayed with it even before they marched.....it took so long for the news to finally make the story...one we had already going.
