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!!

As usual, I’m lurking on the thread.
You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your long-time companion, Chunga-puppy.
Tomorrow will be a year and two months since my Rocket moved on, and I still burst into
tears every once in a while. Losing them is so difficult and painful, but the time with them is
definitely worth it.
May God bless you, dear friend, and may you meet Chunga again.
And now from Just Amy!

I remember you posting about your dear Rocket at the time, and I know that the loss is still with you. I'm sorry for that, but would we really have it any other way? At times I think so, but really I don't. Such love that we feel for our pets has to result in pain at their passing. There's no way of avoiding it.
I hope that I will meet my sweet Chunga again, because it will surely be in a better place.
How unusual for me to be bothersome. :)
Heck you didn’t bother me; I’m just sitting here staring at the monitor and the clock.
Amen, my dear.
I’m so sorry and sad for you about your beautiful Chunga! I just spotted TOL’s post about her cherished Rocket. My darling Pug Jack passed 2 years ago this month. I can’t tell you the date, because I promised myself I wouldn’t remember it and I can’t. I only remember his birth date: 7-17-94.

I remember that so well. He was a wonderful little guy!
Amy, we aren’t supposed to clutter up your Comments list by posting back to you the incoming you just posted yourself.
It’s a polite FReepathon rule.
Heck, I’ve pinged back to Jim accidentally! He’s very patient and kind.
Have you considered becoming a monthly donor? It's easy to do!

Thank you so much. I’m tearing up now, just thinking it about it, but you know, a small miracle has occurred. Directly over his burial spot where the St Francis statue we moved with us from San Diego, sits, a flourish of beautiful Lillies and Lilacs have sprung up out of no where! AND, they’re the exact same flowers that my mom used to have in her yard! However, this yard, in all the 8 years that we’ve lived here, has never had those flowers!
Now tell me, how did that happen?
