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!
~Jim
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.
Jeepers... stay safe, dear TheOldLady!
Thank you so much for your generous donation and your prayers for Jim and his cherished family.
God bless and keep you, dearest Starboard.
Ha ha, and that gave me a chuckle!
Looks like if you could see Jim in your mirrors that he was directing you...that could have been the problem lol!
Pretty good job if so it looks like he got you hit all the important targets...
I’ll ask him about that when he starts stirring again, he’s taking a cat nap.
I will be home all day, sitting here in my recliner, with my computer on this thread so I can get news on Jim as the day progresses. I want to know when the operation is over and he has regained consciousness.
If I lived around there, I would volunteer to be at his house when he comes home, to take care of him using my EMT training.
