Jim needs extra prayers for the next 12 days. Doctors say he is in day 2 of 14 days that are the most critical for his recovery. For the next 12 days he is at his highest risk for a stroke. Jim needs to reach day 14 (Monday, August 3rd) without a stroke!!! Right now Jim is in a lot of pain. He is also suffering from vascular spasms in the brain. This is a normal reaction as his brain recovers. However, it is very important the spasms do not turn to a stroke. Please specifically pray for this!
Doctors say they are going to try to feed Jim "normal food" today. If he keeps it down that will be another praise as God continues to touch and heal is body.
He does not completely have his short term memory back yet. He continues to ask what happened to him and is surprised each time he hears the story. Today when he was again told what happened he asked, "Did I scare everyone when I fell?" (Even while in excruciating pain Jim continues to show concern for the well-being of those around him.)

ReplyDeleteWow ... what an incredible, amazing, Godly man we have in our midst. Stuck in a hospital bed, connected to all kinds of machines and he's worried about US. Could we have a better example of what it means to be Christ-like? Thanks, Jim ... you are awesome! (No - YOU are awesome!)
ReplyDeletePrayer has gotten God to give you many miracles so far...it will keep them coming! Hang in there buddy!
ReplyDeleteHi Jim and family,
ReplyDeleteWe don't know each other, but a friend of mine that attends your church passed this website on to me. I will keep you in my prayers for strength and healing. We serve an Almighty God and He knows what is best for us. He sends us trials and tribulations and at the end of every storm we will see a rainbow. Keep your eyes on God. I will continue to pray for you.

Hey there man! We love you and are praying for you constantly! This is only a little bump in the road for you. We know God has wonderful plans for you. Let us know when you are up for some DQ baby, we're gonna hook you up! All our love :)
ReplyDeleteI saw Jim today with Char, and we talked for about half an hour! His head and neck were hurting...but he was just like the Jim we all know--he was funny, told the nurse how great the church is and that it's at the corner of Fort & Vreeland... brought up details. He does have a little short term memory loss, but the long term seemed fine. He can have regular food now, so he was requesting prime rib!
ReplyDeleteLOL AWESOME!!! I can't wait to see him! You're an awesome person Brett, GOD BLESS YOU!
ReplyDeleteJim, We're praying for you. Hope you'll be eating that prime rib real soon. Just take "Baby Steps" we want you to have a full recovery , but we can wait for as long as it takes. God's watching over you!

Man, I want to be just like the Deaconator when I grow up! Jim, you are an awesome awesome man and we are constantly in prayer for you. I look up to the Olsons so much and they are such great warriors for God. If anyone can be blessed in such tragedy it would be them! Jim, can't wait to see you better! We are going to have to have another go at Rock Band once this is all over!

ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know we are all praying for you!! Don't know if you remember but Scotty used to call Jim "Awesome" when he was little because he couldn't say Olson. He obviously knew way back then how truly awesome you are!! It won't be long before you have a full recovery. God works miracles. Just try to be patient while you regain your strength. You are such an inspiration to so many.
We are continuing to pray for you, Jim and family. We love you.
ReplyDeleteYour sister and brother in Christ,
Paula and David Goscinski
Jim and Char we are continuing to pray for both of you and your family. We pray that Jim will have a quick and full recovery. We know that God is with you and that He is not done with Jim. You both are so special to us and we love you.
ReplyDeleteStay strong and know that everyone is praying for you.
God Bless you both
Your sister and brother in Christ
