The picture above so perfectly fits and describes my story—uphill, downhill, round and round, exciting, and scary, bright spots and dark spots. My “joyful journey” has sometimes been an amazing thrill ride and sometimes just a big downward spiral! But, the emotional, mental, and physical struggles are all part of the story, and through it all, I see clear reflections of God’s amazing grace.

Update (from son, Jim)...

Hi blogging world, this is my first ever post on a blog. Sorry for the circumstances of it... but happy as well as I'm reporting the latest we know.


We received a call from the OR nurse a little before 3 reporting that they successfully did 5 bypasses and are in the process of closing up shop currently. We'll still be an hour before we get to see him and likely longer than that until he's awake, and then a bit longer yet until he's breathing on his own again. Then begins the long road to recovery of 2 to 3 months. At that point he'll be good as new (which is better than he's been for quite a while).


Thanx for your prayers. God is good!


Jim
