A spinal tap is scheduled for 9am tomorrow (Monday) to check the pressures on the brain, and to make sure the antibiotics are fighting the meningitis properly. After the procedure is finished, Jim will have to lay flat on his back for 8 hours. The doctors will watch him for an additional 8 hours (after laying flat) to see if his brain can handle the new pressure being put on it once the fluids start to reproduce.
This will be a challenge for Jim to lay flat for 8 hours, and we all know Jim loves to interact with everyone; so we please ask for no visitors until after 6:00 p.m. so he will not be disturbed or tempted to raise his head during this time. This is the final test for Jim's return home! So if all goes well, then the doctors should then give the "all clear" for him be discharged Tuesday morning!
We ask for your continued prayers, and we of course are confident that God will be with Jim and the doctors throughout his procedure.
So.......Stay Tuned For Good News!!!!!

I have no doubt that God is healing Jim and "the final test" will be a victorious one! God has shown himself over and over and we know the race will be one! God has selected Jim to undergo this terrible tragedy but HE has been at the helm all along. HE knew this might just get people talking about GOD. Jim is a people person and a well respected man, I know that he comes in contact with a lot of different people (not only in church) Look at the glory, praise and prayers from people who never thought about God as their Saviour. As the ONE that could also save them as well. This has been an example for all of us just to show that everything really can change in the blink of the eye. ARE YOU READY?!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for keeping us aware of not only the miracle in Jim's life but the miracles that happen when we believe. God is so good and I will continue to pray for Jim and his family and continue to Praise God.
