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!!

"It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read,
or so incoherent that they cannot be understood: if they be repealed or revised before they are promulged,
or undergo such incessant changes, that no man who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. "~Alexander Hamilton

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles.
It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt.
If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost,
for this is a game where principles are at stake."~Thomas Jefferson, June 1798

Praise GOD indeed!!!!!!!
Thanks Syncro. Appreciate your keeping us posted but also appreciate you being there as we would all like to be — supporting Jim’s family and Jim.
Give out our best to them all.
Agree. I also love Our God Reigns but all I could find sounded either like a funeral dirge or a nightclub. *sigh*
Hannity fighting on his show...calling congressman a lier...got heated...on now
http://www.hulkus.com/watch-fox-news-live-streaming/
Shoot couldn’t get up in time...worth seeing the replay when video is up...have to watch it....the congressman was denying they have a 72% perk in paying for thier insurance...he denied it..Sahawn wasn’t about to let it ride and didn’t...Haven’t seen that kind of head to head in a long time...good tv
Finally we can go see Jim!
Two people limit, they let three in.
Chris and Shelia and Freeper notpoliticallykorwrecked...(don’t know how to spell her handle) are in there visiting with him now.
He’s a hungry guy, finally getting some food...and he’s lovin’ it!
His sister and her husband were here earlier and saw him in the hallway when we ambushed the gurney team...
Challenged the Rat congressman to a 10 grand bet, Rat wouldn't take the bet, LOL.
Love the way Hannity ended it "Congressman, you're full of crap".
Go Hannity go!
Such good news!
