We will continue to keep you updated on Pastor Jim’s progress and recovery after his aortic valve replacement surgery. Praise the Lord, Jim is able to move from bed to chair, a milestone which demonstrates he is regaining strength and that circulation is improving in his body. It appears he may be able to move out of cardiac ICU as early as tomorrow. Below are a couple specific prayer requests:

• Jim’s blood pressure remains a little high – pray this can be mitigated through a change in medications.
• His body is retaining some fluid – pray that this would drain as his body continues to recover.
• Pray that the Lord will keep infection and other illness away while his immune system recovers.
• Pray for pain management.
• Pray for peace, encouragement and peace for Jim’s family as they care for him throughout his recovery.

We are grateful for your continued prayers for a swift and full recovery for Pastor Jim.
