2/21 Monday Evening

Tonight James is holding steady.

He has been scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning, to remove the ECMO connectors and get him off that machine. The connectors are located in the groin area of each leg (they are connected to the tubes that are circulating his blood thru the ECMO machine).

They will slowly and carefully move him and all the equipment he is connect to, from his room to an operating room for the surgery. This will be his first move out of his room while at OSU Medical Center.

Stephanie, Barbara, Mom and I are leaving for Columbus early tomorrow morning to be with James.

We are hopeful that tomorrow will go well. It will be a significant step forward.

Please keep James in your thoughts and prayers.

    When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the riers, they will not seept over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, your Savior. Isaiah 43: 2-3 Know that Jimmy will have God with him every step of this journey. So will you, his loving family! Prayers - Jill
