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.
"The origin of all civil government, justly established, must be a voluntary compact, between the rulers and the ruled; and must be liable to such limitations, as are necessary for the security of the absolute rights of the latter; for what original title can any man or set of men have, to govern others, except their own consent?
To usurp dominion over a people, in their own despite, or to grasp at a more extensive power than they are willing to entrust, is to violate that law of nature, which gives every man a right to his personal liberty; and can, therefore, confer no obligation to obedience. "Alexander Hamilton

Ok...I”m going to look for more!
You are a delight and an incredible resource for this site. :)
Thank God!
Thank you, friend. :)
Thanks for the pings and updates.
Tell Jim he is still being prayed for by lots of folks—Sheila,Chris and John, too.
Oh!!! Now I see what I wasn’t doing...! I was ending like this......jpg:”600”</>....it didn’t work of course!
Thank you very very much...I will try next one that’s huge!
It will be all over when He knows that the last person to accept Him has done so. The rest will have hardened their hearts and He’ll know that.
I like telling people about resizing pictures, LOL! It’s a labor of love. [smiles]
Well you sure left me smiling ;)
Trish taught me to put it between the “img” and “src”. We wrestled with a graphic one day that made me want to cry! LOL
This works great for me. giggle/snort
So glad to hear that Jim is doing well...thanks for keeping us informed;^)
OMGoodness! Thank you so much! I am blushing.
I believe that though some would differ and have. I am of the mind if you’ve had the opportunity to accept Him and refuse this side of the Tribulation, you’ll swallow the lie to come and won’t be able to then. But those who have not heard prior would have that opportunity then.
I say why take the chance...”Today is the day of salvation” after all!
LoLoLoL
You catch on fast! You’re very welcome. Anytime.
Ooooh! Light body! I wish...
Hey, Caww! You can minimize the size of the picture if you go to Shrinkpictures.com, and then click 760 (size) and ‘best or better’ for quality. Then when the picture is shrunk, you can right click and save it.
If you just want it to appear smaller on the forum, type in a space (after jpg), and type in height=500 - or whatever makes it appear smaller.
Like this: I right clicked this picture, and then clicked properties - and it is 1600x1063 pixels. (http://i10.tinypic.com/351wxmx.jpg)
If I wanted to post it on FR, and make it smaller, I would change the 1063 to 700 - this way.....< (no space after the “<” img src=http://i10.tinypic.com/351wxmx.jpg (space here)height=700>
Then, it will appear much smaller on the post.
I know it seems confusing - but just remember to do a space and then ‘height=number’ and then “>” after jpg.
I’m computer challenged - but once I tried this - and it worked - I use it all the time, now!
AND - PRAISE GOD JIM IS OUT OF SURGERY AND DOING WELL!!!
Yes. :-)
