Today Jim was able to sit on the edge of his bed and after about 5 minutes he felt well enough to stand up and WALK to the bathroom which is about 10 feet away!! He has absolutely no more vasospasms and his doctor has nick named him "Mr. Sunshine".
This evening Jim shaved off the rest of his hair. So now both sides match. The doctors are thinking Jim may possibly be able to go to a step down unit on Monday. He may even have the EVD (drain in his head) removed before Monday as well!
Psalm 136:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever.

ReplyDelete"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen."
HI JIM,
ReplyDeleteIT'S GREAT TO HEAR YOU ARE WALKING AROUND. GOD IS GIVING YOU EXTRA STRENGTH. DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS WITH THE DOC? LOOK FOR GOD'S TIMING, TO DRAW THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AROUND YOU TO HIMSELF. GOD WILL GIVE YOU THIS OPPORTUNITY. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REACH THE PEOPLE THAT WE CAN'T. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST,
JULIE HOYT-KESSLER
Thank you for the update, and for the demonstration of trust, and for the opportunity to praise with you.
ReplyDeleteWe are SOOO happy you are recovering so quickly. Must feel great to be out of that bed, even for a few minutes. We continue to pray for you and your family every day.
ReplyDeleteLove you,

JIM and CHAR, this seemed appropriate!
ReplyDeleteMay the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May GOD hold you in the palm of his hand.
May GOD be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
JIM and CHAR, with the love from our heart's,
BIG JIM, CATHY, JASON, MEAGHAN, ANDREW and the soon- blessed to be.
