Jim Robinson is having surgery today

Posted on 05/01/2008 10:32:16 AM PDT by trussell

Jim Robinson is in surgery today and the last thing he needs to be worried about is whether or not the freepathon is going to continue for another day/week/month.

In the words of "Larry, The cable guy"... LETS GET 'ER DONE!!

because of heart trouble it was performed without general anesthesia, no fun at all

OMG, you poor dear. My dad had both amputated. I learned during that time that it's not always a good thing to have balloons in the room. They freaked him out when he was recovering.

To be added or removed from my Jim Ping List, please FReepmail me.


Today's short update:

I just talked to Jim; the surgery will be performed tomorrow. He doesn't know what time yet. He said he is feeling pretty good. Also, he slept off and on last night. May have been due to the stress.

I am going to try to see him this afternoon. He has some tests scheduled but he doesn't think they will take very long.

He is not allowed to have his laptop in the patient area so he cannot get online until he can get down to the lobby.

His words ..... "Please tell everyone how much I appreciate their thoughts and prayers. Oh Yeah ..... tell them I'll be back online as soon as I'm able.


Anyway, thank you for your prayers.

Prayers Up Jim!

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Thank you for the pings and updates. Jim, know many of us are praying for you even if circumstances are not allowing us to post as much as we’d like.

Heavenly Father You alone are God. You alone are the Holy One. You alone are the Lord with the plan, with the power. Lord God, we don’t like this whole situation. This is not what we would have wanted. However, if You are God, then You are worthy of our trust. You have a plan for Jim’s life which has been in place since the foundation of the earth. Lord God, we want Your plan.

Come with Your Holy Spirit in increase. Fill the hospital with Your Presence. Cause there to be prayer warriors present inviting an increase of YOU. By the power of Your Spirit clear out the operating room, clear out the lobbies and the patient rooms of anything that is not of You. This infection is not of You. We say it must stop - in Jesus’ name. Place Your healing hand upon Jim in every way, O Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer. By Your touch heal Jim. If this means the leg must go - and only You know - then cause it to happen without event. Only bring the healing quickly and without further damage to Jim’s body. Lord God, in the name of Jesus’ we cancel any plans of the enemy against Jim. In Jesus’ name, by the power of Your blood, we block the spread of the infection and erase its impact on internal organs. This infection is blocked; it will spread no further because You hear and answer the prayers of Your faithful with release of Your power.

Lord God, You say where two or more or gathered there You are also. You say in the Book of Revelation that the angels in heaven offer up to You prayer bowls filled the prayers of the saints. Lord God, on this website hundreds, perhaps thousands are gathered in Your Name on behalf of Jim. We have filled the prayer bowls to overflowing on behalf of Jim and his family, for restoration of his health, for wisdom for the doctors, for Your healing touch....Lord God, do the work. Fulfill Your promises and be all that You are! And though we continue to beseech You at Your throne, we do so in the confidence which comes from trust placed in You and Your perfect plan. You know our hearts. We submit to You know and release Jim into Your healing hands, knowing You will not fail us when all this is considered in light of eternity.

Oh Father God, we give thanks that You are there and that You opened the way to eternity for us through Jesus Christ. We give thanks that You are the grand restorer and rest in Your name. In Jesus’ precious, precious name, by the power of the Most Holy Spirit we pray...Amen
