This is horrible, Jim and Donnalynn are surely in our thoughts and prayers, that he makes a full recovery as Sara’s pastor did.

Hang tough Donnalynn, Jim will be okay,

OMG

We were expecting them here in Oregon, this week, as they were planning a camping trip down the west coast. I had not had a reply from Donnalyn from my PM and I could not figure out why... Oh my this is scary.

Thank goodness this did not happen while they were here in the USA... far away from family and their doctor.

I will contact Steve and Jackie as we were hoping to all connect with them when they were to be here.

They are in my prayers. Thanks for letting us know.

Donnalynn ~

Thank you taking the time to post this informative update.  I'll keep this brief by simply saying that you and Jim will continue to be in my prayers.

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Donnalynn -

so sorry you and Jim are going through all of this.  I was hopeful he was out of the woods after his last health issue.

You are right, God is in control.  And he's hearing the prayers of numerous Forumites even as we speak.

Know that we are here for you - and for Jim.

Best  :-*

Donnalynn .....

Thanks so much for giving us the detailed update.  It helps to know how to pray more specifically.

Much love and many prayers coming your way and for you and Jim.  Heparin is a good drug to keep the blood from clotting any more and now we just pray that the existing clots will quickly be absorbed by his body.

Many prayers for you to be able to get some rest.

Donnalynn,   This is such a scary time for you both and I can't even imagine having to be home in this situitation. I hope your guardian angel continues to watch over you both and keep him safe.     The right medications are there but having to be the one watching over him is very hard for you.            I wish all of us nurses here were closer so could do a shift and let you get the rest you need.                    My prayers are with you.                          Cheryl R
