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!!

I love it. :)
We are. And it is good to add to our group!
Subtract 2 hours from OUR time, dearest Marcella and you have CA time
I promise.
Thank you so much for your prayers.
I like the silly ones too. :-)
Ahhhh ... thank you. I would send you flowers but I can’t spend time looking for any. LOL
The dog in 594 is Chunga. He turned 13 on 9/3/13. Sadly, he passed on Thursday. He was my protector and a wonderful friend.
“Two hours?”
It’s 4:00 pm here, central time - is it 2:00 pm in foreign country California?
Last Thursday. Sorry. Hard to see.
Yep ... 2:06 PDT.
LOL.
Not necessary!!
I’m going to eat a little of DrO’s “chicken dinner,” since it looks pretty good.
I’ll be right back afterward.
Yes! It’s 5 o’clock here on the east coast, and CA is three hours earlier for us.
“Subtract 2 hours from OUR time, dearest Marcella and you have CA time”
You are in central time?
I know what time it is in England and China and Greece and France, but I didn’t know about foreign country California.
We’re having chicken tonight, too.
I’m so sorry. It’s so hard to deal with losing furry friends. They fill our lives and hearts.
We were separated at birth. Yup! Chicken for dinner!
Trisham, I'm really sorry...what a darling boy he was.
Thanks, DJ. Yes, they mean so much.
Thank you, Catherine. Very much.
