Jim - my family and I will be joining the prayer team for your family. May you find strength and comfort with everyone lifting you up in our prayers!

Keep praying!
I spoke to Jim this morning and the news is a little more encouraging. His wife's pancreas enzymes are returning to normal, which means that the original source of the problem (the pancreatitis) is subsiding. Now, the challenge is to get the other organs to come back. Her blood pressure is marginal. It is very low and they are bolstering it as possible with medication. She has accumulated 40 pounds of fluid because her system is not able to eliminate it. They are going to start dialysis this morning to get some of the toxins out of her body. They are going to do the slow kind -- over a period of 36 hours, because it is less stressful on the system, but they will have to administer blood thinners and those pose risks of their own.
She is still on a ventilator and heavily sedated. The next 36 hours will be critical as they work on getting her other organs functional.
Jim has read and printed out this thread and appreciates the prayers and support.

Thank you for the update MB. It breaks my heart to think that a man who gives so much to others has to bear this heartache. GOD Bless you Jim. May HE keep you and your family in His arms.

Jim, when you get around to reading these posts, I hope you find comfort in the Lord and the fact that many prayers have been said on you and your wife's behalf from all over the country. God bless you and may you find strength to carry on during this stressful time.

I don't think he'd mind me sharing that I received a PM from him on the 2nd saying that she was doing better...had a long way to go...and remains in ICU. What he wants most from us is our prayers!

I spoke with Jim's Mom a few minutes ago and there is little to report. As mentioned, his wife's pancreatic functions are improving, but there is no parallel progress in the functioning of her other organs. His Mother said they have appreciated all the prayers and support they have received and asked that we keep them in our thoughts.

Jim, I've added your wife to our prayer list at church as well as my own.
We will also pray for guidance for the doctors and staff of the hospital.
Bless you.

Prayers are going out from all over the country. I pray that your wife recovers fully and that some blessing comes from this for both of you, your family, and everyone involved.
