I will pray for you! Our God is amazing and everything is in His hands! Praying for you!
Thank you very much Percy! I have been there and back unfortunately Cari still needs her surgery due to anestheologist nix-ing the operation. Cari had a continuation of pneumonia. She has not seemed to be able to get rid of it. They'll reasess in 3 weeks to see if her situation has changed enough to go ahead
Cari hon, prayers stll here for you and James. Get well.

Thanks for that GS!
I think I had the guardian angels working overtime on Friday. I didn't quite get over the mountains between Vernal and SLC (Provo) before it started snowing. At one point I did a 360 degree on the mountain just outside Heber city. Fortunately I didn't make contact with any other traffic or with the "jersey wall" on the right. It was about 28 degrees at that point and I was far enough out of town I really couldn't turn back. It happened so fast I didn't even have time to shoot up a quick prayer.
Glad to see you still have your sense of humor (response to GB).
While you have that you keep your sence of balance and power over fear.
Use more care on the road. I did 2 1/2 360 on my way home one night in Wichita Ks. Facing a semi of highly flamable on black ice. Humor kept me going, shaking and panic kept me frozen to the steering wheel after I got home. Be well friend.
God bless

Thanks GS. I try to do my best.
Semi of highly flammable? Your guardian angels were working time and a half! On black ice? Triple time!
Glad you were looked out for. That canyon is sneaky. The ice line can creep on you.
yep my guardian angels were working overtime most of the way home. It wasn't TOO bad going 1-15 south toward St George, but there were a couple spots where the road was covered with snow.
Are/were you familiar with US40 w out of Heber city?
Unless they have added more Jersey barriers, you were most likely where the creek broadens and the road narrows, just short of where you turn North to go to Heber City?
I'll have to go back and check out what mile marker it was. Just wait a minute! LoL!
Hope your surgery went well. What was it for?
Thanks, Emma, for ur kind words. I was supposed to have the rest of my Thyroid removed due to cancer but ended up with Pneumonia in the right lung so Dr.s said no. They said in about 3 weeks. Hope it's gone by then.
Hugs,
Cari
Thyroid problems can be very serious, I've heard. What exactly is the problem? I don't know a thing about our thyroid gland and what it does. Does it effect the diabetes?
Emma
Cari, I sorry you have to wait some more, but at least you are where the doctors can treat that pneumonia and you can get strong again. You & James are in my prayers.
Thanks Karen!
Your welcome James.
Thank u so much,Keddie, ur prayers and kind words mean so much to me. I know God will make the time right.
Hugs,
Cari
Your welcome. I hope today you feel better. I know pnuemonia can be real hard on you. Get your rest.
I do feel better today. Coughing is down to a minimum now. Thank God. I am resting as much as i can. ( U know how that goes) lol.
Take care,
Cari
Yes I do know. (lol) I am glad the coughing is down that wears you out a lot. I will and you take care too.
Keddie (a.k.a. Karen)
U r a sweetheart, Karen. Thanks again.
Hugs,
Cari
It is so frustrating for you to face another few weeks of waiting plus battling pneumonia. God's timing isn't on our schedule ( I have to remind myself of this often). He delays for a reason which we may or may not ever learn.
Yes, i remind myself of that often, too, but i rely on HIM to know what is best for me.
Thanks so much for ur kind words and concern.
Cari
Hi All,
I just wanted to thank EVERYONE for all of your prayers and kind words while i waited for surgery(that didn't happen). As James told u below, I have pneumonia in my right lung again and they wouldn't operate. Barring any complications again, it will hopefully be in about 3 weeks.
James left to go back to LV this morning at 9am. Please pray for his safe return.
We have bad weather coming and i am very concerned for his safety driving in the mountains,here.
Thank u all again for ur prayers and kindnesses. Maybe i can get this over and done with in the next 3 weeks. I am sure going to try.
Blessings to all, Cari
UPDATE…
9:10 PM Friday, 3/25/11
Just a P.S. to this…
James is in St.George, UT. (about 2 hours No. of Las Vegas) at this moment. He is very tired, so he stopped for the night. He had a real rough time goiing thru the mountains this morning. Lots of snow fall and slippery roads. Thank God, he is
out of that now.
Thanks again for ur prayers for his safe return home. They r so appreciated.
Cari
I hope you can have it then, and all goes well. I will say some prayers, and check back.
Me too, thanks so much for ur prayers. I so appreciate them.
Cari
My thoughts and prayers continue for you and James, as he travels back to LV and for your recovery from pheumonia. Please rest, take care of yourself and keep us updated, for you are one special lady to us all.
Oh, Thank u so much, MewElla.
I am trying to rest, but u know how that goes when u have a loved one on the road. I will keep u updated.
Thanks for ur kind words.
Cari
Thanks for your prayers and words of encouragement to all'yall.
I did make it to Vernal in time to take Cari to the hospital. And I can say that your prayers worked. Just not in the way, perhaps any of us would have wanted.
We got her there, and got her in the prep room. She was coughing a bit so, to be sure, they took an x-ray to check her lung. Her pneumonia had returned to her right lung, and the anastheologist would not clear her for surgery. She has to wait another 3 weeks for the pneumonia to clear.
We prayed for Cari Lee's safety, and since the surgery could not safely be performed, it was not allowed to proceed. So . . . . even though we were disappointed the surgery could not be done, she is safe for the time being.
I write these words from the Motel 6 in Vernal where I will stay the night before I go back to Cari's place and hug her before I return to LV tomorrow. (No, I can't stay the 3 wks).
We did have a nice time the rest of the day.
Cari is now on antibiotics again for the pneumo.
I must get some rest to be fresh for the return trip tomorrow morning.
I just pray that she can get this cancer out the next time.
Blessings to all y'all
James
God be with you as you travel James. Plse drop us short note to let us know you are safely back home…Take care my friend
Drive Safely James. I am Cari couldn't go through her surgery. Hope she gets better soon and they successfully do the surgery soon.
Please have a safe trip back to LV. As for Cari, I hope she gets better soon and the new surgery date comes fast and everything goes well so she can be better.
Hugs,
Bear

Pray for your speedy recovery!!
God be with you and get healed fast.
Friends call me Hopie, and I will definitely add my earnest prayers to all yours! James, I usually wake up between 3 & 4 AM PST and will for sure be praying for you both. I'm thrilled to learn of this need. I'll pass it on to the prayer circle I'm part of and we will help see you through this with prayer. Cari Lee, God Bless you as you finally get this surgery. Not up on details, but God is! So rest tonight and hug James for all us in his effort to be with you.
get well!
Oh dear I just am now seeing this; I hope the surgery went well Cari and Godspeed in your recovery!!!!
You're not too late Renee! Her surgery won't be until Thur 3/24 (tommorow for me at this point) @ 10 AM MDT.
I have not yet made it to Cari, but have stopped in Provo UT for the night (see my posting further down)
Still, thanks for your good wishes.
Yes I kept reading after posting and realized it was you James that she was talking about! Have a safe trip and blessings to you for being such a great friend to Cari in her time of need!!!!!!!
my blessing ,and my prayers are with you both tonight good luck tommorw.
Thank you very much Ariel!
James, Safe driving. You're a great friend. You inspire me with you noble deeds.
Double prayers tonight. Safe driving James. Safe surgery Cari Lee.
Thank you so very much Barbara!
Good Luck to both of you and I will be praying for you both…
TY Tina!
James, my prayers are with you for a safe journey and with Cari Lee for her
surgery.
Thanks much, Mary!
You couldn't be in better hands. We will all be keeping both of you in our prayers and thoughts.
I know God has his angels with me, (actually both of us). Thanks for those prayers and kind words & thoughts
Thanks Cari for setting up this discussion.
Thanks to everyone for your prayers. The guardian angels had their hands full today, and then again will have tomorrow AM about 5A Mountain Daylight time
As Cari already knows, I am staying the night in Provo UT, about 3 hrs from Vernal. I got here and didn't think it safe for me to continue. So I got a motel rm and crashed for a bit. I feel better now.
I plan to get up at 4 A local time get on the road again @5 A which SHOULD (God willing) put me in Vernal about 8 A. with time to spare to get Cari to the hospital @ 10 A.
I still covet your prayers. I pray that when I go to bed again tonight I'll sleep well (had trouble sleeping Tues night).
I pray that Cari gets enough sleep tonight too, and that her pneumonia & HBP lowers, so she can FINALLY get her cancerous thyroid removed completely.
Thanks to all for your prayers.
Praying blessings upon you and yours!
James Baker
James you are special.

Thanks so much Judi!
I will certainly be adding my prayers with all the others here. Know that we will be with you and Cari in spirit.
Thanks GB!
Wow! that is quite a road trip. I am glad you decided the stop over tonight. Good luck driving tomorrow. Be safe. And pass on my good wishes to Cari as well.
It is amazing thing you are doing, driving all the way to support a friend.
Thanks Dev!
I am maybe starting to get a bit of sense in my middle age. Before I would have just pushed on no matter how tired I got, (or would lay the car seat back for a "snap" - short nap).
I will pass the good wishes on to Cari tomorrow.
My prayers are with you both. May God give you and James the strength to go through this.
Thank u so much, Keddie, I have my suspicions that James will have more strength than i to go thru this. He is an amazingly strong person, with an abundance of faith.
Hugs,
Cari
good luck to u tomorrow cari u will b in my prayers and heres hoping for a speedy recover…
Then together you two will have the strength and with God all things are possible.
Thank u for ur kind words. I know it is true.
Prayers are with you both! HUGS!
Thanks Jeannie!
Thanks so much, Jeannie. Hugs right back atcha!!
