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.
Oh yeah. It’s one of two that are the same. Has has the one he liked the best: the one he peed on...lol. They’re both 4’ tall.

I believe that. He created dogs, after all. Didn't He have to know that they would become our protectors and companions? Absolutely.
I dare not! LOL!
LOL! Dogs. They keep us humble. :)
Exactly right.
I looked on the net for a Yorkie for sale and saw there was one not far from me. I made arrangements to go see her, this five week old Yorkie, this little puff of a dog. The place was so far out in the woods, I wondered if I should be there by myself. Finally found it and a man came out. I got out and went to the porch. Before he opened the door he asked if I was afraid of dogs. I said not if they are Yorkies.
He opened the door and FORTY-FOUR Yorkies came flying out. They were everywhere and they live INSIDE THAT HOUSE.
I went in and Yorkies were jumping and running and all over me. He went in the kitchen where the wife was and I got on a high stool to get out of the dogs. The wife went in another room and brought out this tiny puppy and handed her to me. She curled up and stuck her head into my bent elbow as if to say, “Get me out of here!”
The woman said she wouldn't sleep with the other 43 dogs - that she would get on a pad close to the fireplace and sleep by herself. I didn't blame her, all those dogs were many times bigger than she was. She had a beautiful face and lots of hair, the requirements I had. I paid them in cash and got Prissy out of there. Got her in the house and put her in a pink doggie bed and she lay down and went to sleep. She seemed to know she was home and out of the mess of dogs.
I hated that house with all those dogs living in it. That was too many Yorkies. They could not have gotten the proper care from the owners.
At least I saved Prissy and she is a precious Yorkie with beautiful hair .
Yes! LOL.
Help!

What a sweet story, dearest, sweet you, Marcella. More proof that God sent you to save your sweet Yorkie, Prissy. I believe in these things and I know you do too. Prissy was meant for you and you for her. I pray and I think, that you two will share several more happy years together. Into the decades!
Will $5. a month really make me a hero on Free Republic?
Yes!

Prissy is truly beautiful and she always has a pink bow in her hair. I went to get medicine at the drive-in window of Walgreens and Prissy was sitting in her car seat - yes, she has her own seat. The clerk said I could have my medicine if I gave Prissy to her. She is such a perfect looking Yorkie, I am sure she would win a Yorkie dog show.
I am smiling! She has her own seat! God bless you and Prissy! I’m sure she is beautiful and beautifully kept, pink bow and all, to match and coordinate with almost everything else you have. You know that one of these days, I’m going to take you up on your sweet offers, to come visit and stay with you for a few days!
Do you have pictures that you could share? I’d love to see them.
