I have family members driving to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Friday of this coming week for further testing,, it has been a heck of a long road trying to figure out what is wrong, many diagnoses because symptoms are common in so many illness but just can't pin point the exact illness. now they are using the process of elimination to try to figure it out :this has been on going for too long now surgery has already takin place in one area successfully, but didn't take care of the over all condition/ symptom.. Please keep them in your prayers

Diane, I'm praying that their search produces results soon. Waiting for answers is so darned hard on everyone.
I'm requesting prayers for my niece (Beckie H - Member #10996). Her recent mammogram detected something that wasn't supposed to be there, & her Dr did a biopsy last week that confirmed a malignant tumor. She just learned that it's too large for a simple lumpectomy, so they are scheduling a mastectomy sometime in early December.
Beckie's Mom (My sis, Murph - Member #8998) had the very same thing just a couple years ago & wound up with complications & a Staph infection that keeps coming back to haunt her, which has been antibiotic resistant. She was recently hospitalized for that (again), & is on the mend (again), but her recovery is slow (again).
So, needless to say, this is a very tense situation, Beckie is upset, & her Mom isn't well enough to travel from Seattle to St Louis to be with her right now. She is very strong in her faith, and prayer support will be appreciated.
Also, please pray for my daughter LaRelle, as she is dealing with a recent back injury that has her off work & down in bed. I hope to get her in to see her Orthopedic Dr this coming week, but meanwhile she's feeling miserable & pain meds aren't providing much relief.

Prayers to your family Patty! So sorry to hear about reoccurring infections, sometimes if too many antibiotics are taken consecutively they stop working for a while can they give her a higher schedule of a synthetic antibiotic?? I certainly hope Becky has someone there with her I'll pray for extra angels to surround her and Extra comfort for LaRelle
Thanks everyone for Prayers for my Family member, this member is sooo tired of being sick

I've never asked for prayers before, but there is a first for everything. My bowling coach's Mother passed away only a few hours after we lost the Quaterfinals Match from an appendicitis infection. She may not return to coach next year... please send prayers for her...
This is the first I am hearing of this...
Prayers for everyone who needs them, as well!

I am requesting prayer for Justin again. After this situation is all over, I will be able to tell you all why you have been praying for him so much.
Also, please remember Destiny tomorrow. I am leaving early in the morning to make sure she gets back to Chapel Hill to have her stents taken out of her nose. I hope it doesn't hurt her too badly...
Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts for my family. I am still praying that God meets every one's needs...
Hugs,
Dianna

Dianna, I'm holding Justin, Destiny & your family up in prayer ...& you, for safe travel tomorrow.
Mark, what a devastating loss for your coach! I know that you & your team will be supportive of her through this rough time & I pray that with the help of God, she will remain strong & resume her involvement with you all next year.
Diane, I understand what it's like to be so weary & sick & tired of being sick & tired... & the waiting is such a strain on a person's faith. Still praying for a firm diagnosis soon, that will lead to effective treatment.
You asked about the treatment that Carol (Murph) gets for her reoccurring infection... the only thing they can do is to give her strong antibiotic infusions, & it's my understanding that they use several different kinds, as Staph is such a viscous infection & only certain antibiotic spectrums will touch it. When she was hospitalized again a couple weeks ago, they allowed her to go home with oral and IV antibiotics after 4 days, since she is an RN & knows the procedure for administering & charting.
Beckie is keeping a stiff upper lip, & her hubby arranged things with his work so he'll be able to remain local for the next few months. (His job takes him to Europe quite a lot.) I learned yesterday that she won't be scheuled for surgery until after she has an MRI on Dec 4th. (Again, the waiting is sooo hard on people!)
I'm getting ready to call LaRelle's back Dr as soon as his office opens this morning, & am praying that he can work her in to his schedule today. The pain meds that she got from the clinic here on Friday are not working, but have her pretty disoriented. (Yesterday she thought it was Friday!)
Everybody, thanks for your prayer support for mine, as I continue to pray for yours. Enough can't be said for the power of prayer, & God IS in charge.
------------------------------ 20 minutes later... LaRelle's Orthopedic Dr is working her in tomorrow morning at 8:30. The best part is that his office has moved to Roseburg, so we won't need to travel the 100 miles to Eugene to see him, as we've had to do in the past. ------------------------------

Patty, thank you for adding me to your prayers, too. I will need them as I am getting up in the a.m. at 3:30 to make the trip to Megan's and then the trip to Chapel Hill. I will be driving twelve hours tomorrow...
Still praying for everyone...

I am praying for all who need prayer- as always...
Please add my best friend and her family to the list. Her mother just had 3 strokes last night. They were minor ones, but her blood pressure is still 120/128 NOT GOOD!! She has no medical insurance and has not been able to afford her blood pressure meds along with a few others. Thanks all!!
I am requesting prayer now for the preacher that performed to wedding ceremonies for Jim and myself, and Justin and Michelle. He has been in really bad health the last few months and he is in the hospital now. The doctor just called his wife and told her that he was afraid to do anything to help him because he is afraid it will make him worse.
Larry's kidneys and liver have shut down. The doctor seems to think that it is only a matter of time before he will be leaving this world. The doctor has asked Virginia if she would like him hooked up to a respirator or if he needs to attempt to bring Larry back if his heart stops. It is just all so sad...
Larry is truly a good neighbor and I hate to think that he is suffering any more. Please pray that God gently escorts him out of this life of pain...
Virginia could use prayers as well. She is 72 and has been caring for Larry almost by herself in the last few weeks with help from her family only on the week-ends. It is really hitting her hard...
Thank you all for the prayers on their behalf...

Dianna, it must be so very hard to helplessly watch the slow decline of a life-mate, & it makes the holidays particularly difficult to deal with. Praying that Larry & Virginia will find comfort & strength in their faith.
My family seems to be on a "falling apart" streak these days! Carol's (Murph's) hubby, Clay is diabetic & epileptic, & he had 3 grand mal seizures yesterday. He's in the Critical Care Unit at the hospital. Carol is still on the mend after being hospitalized a few weeks ago with the MRSA infection (Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureus), & Clay's situation certainly isn't helping her recovery, as her energy & strength levels are slow to return.
LaRelle remains off work as her Dr waits for the radiology report from her back X-rays & is scheduling an MRI on her back. Her situation has her anxious because the paychecks have stopped, her rent is due, & her Christmas shopping isn't done, both which are important to her. We have no idea how long the paperwork will take for disability insurance or workman's comp to kick in, so she's in the midst of waiting games that are pretty hard on the nerves. (And I might add that her tension is hard on MY nerves... especially when she's doped up on pain killers & muscle relaxants!)
My car blowing a head gasket yesterday doesn't help matters, although that's the least of our concerns because the car isn't "in pain"... just one more thing to add to the waiting list!

Dianna, Very hard to know a good friend is suffering, I will be keeping Larry and Virginia in my prayers.
And your entire family as well Patty. I hope LaRelle heals quickly.
No updates on Suzanne's mom. I will email her today and see if they have any new news.

Patty, I read about all your happenings yesterday in one of the threads and started praying for you. Seems like your family is really getting hit hard right now. Hang in there. God will see you thru...
Thank you, Patty and Triss for praying for Larry and Virginia. I feel so lost as to how to help her besides prayer...
Still praying for all of my friends and their requests...

Triss, they live right next door. I have made a couple of meals for them, and I am on standby with the telephone for Larry when she goes to the store. He won't let me sit over there with him when he is home. Hard-headed man doesn't want a baby-sitter...
While she has gone back to the hospital, I am feeding her outside dogs for her. They know me pretty well and will let me in the gate. Her smaller dog she leaves in the house with food. She won't leave her with me because she is afraid that Bear might make a mess in the house or fight with Angel...
I ask her what else I can do for her and she just asks me to pray...
