quote:Originally posted by ksgardnr: Praying for everyone and putting it in God's hands. Has anyone heard from mater and how his sister is doing?
Thanks for all the prayers, everyone!
I have spent a lot of time with her lately. She is doing well. Her attitude has been quite positive as of late. She has a long way to go to get to where she needs to be. She will not have to make the journey alone and without support. I am relieved to see she has reached down deep and grasp the 'courage' to begin. I pray that she retains her determination without faltering.
Thanks again to each of you that has included us in your prayers. May your days be full of joy and your nights peaceful. You have been a true blessing for us.

I am asking for prayers and good wishes for a very dear friend of mine's mom.
Carol will be undergoing liver surgery on the 6th of November at 7:15am PST to remove at least two of many tumors caused by carcinoid cancer, a rare and non-curable cancer.
Her daughter Suzanne asked me to pray for her mom and I am asking you all to do the same, not only for Carol but for her mother, husband, children and grandchildren.

When we were at my Mother In laws visiting, she told me that she took another fall. Her leg has been giving out lately and this is the 2nd major fall we have heard about. She showed me the bruise on her leg and it is awful looking.
Please keep her in your prayers that the Dr's find out why her leg is doing this and that she does not fall again and get more seriously injured.

Although I can't give out any details of the situation, please, everyone, pray for my sister Nancy, forum member Wildwood Flower. Most particularly, pray for her safety and clarity of thought so she can begin to help herself.

I dont usually ask for prayers. Ok, I never have. My BF's friend Gino has been in heart surgery since 7 this morning to replace the artery coming out of the bottom of his heart. He had a valve replaced a while back and the surgeon saw the weak artery but they hoped medication would take care of it. He is in his mid 30's. Too young for heart trouble. As far as we know he isn't out of surgery yet. If you could send prayers and positive energy his way I'd much appreciate it.
merme I hope your sister gets better.

Prayers for Gino, Wrennie. I hope he has a successful surgery and speedy recovery.
Mid 30's unfortunately is not to early for heart trouble. A quadruple heart bypass at 35 was my eye opener.
Prayers of guidance and safety for your sister Nancy, Merme.

Hi Mater,thanks. And quadruple!!!! Actually, thinking more now, my aunts father died after 9 heart attacks in his early 40's.
Gino is in ICU now. They had to replace vein?artery from the original spot all the way up to his neck ending just behind his ear. I forget what hospital he went to but he has one of the better/best/leading heart surgeons. I'll have to find out details. Article on Gino{in spanish} Ginos site

Wrennie, I am adding Gino to my prayers. Was happy to read he made it through surgery and hope is stay in the ICU is short.

I've been on the phone with Patti (Patches 1414) a few times today. The first time was when she called from her cell phone as she was stuck in a parking lot close to where a police incident had broken out & all roads in the vicinity were closed, then a few hours later from home, where she was listening to news reports.
Apparently, a tip led police to a house in Belleville, Illinois today, where a suspected gunman was said to be holed up after a double homicide on Thursday night. They were greeted with gunfire, a police officer was shot, & he spent several hours in surgery. His condition is currently listed as critical & he is on life support.
He turns out to be a family friend of Patti's. She asked me to post here to request your prayers for the police officer, Jon Brough, & his family. He's 47 & has a wife & children..
I also ask your prayers for Patti, as she's had a rough time with several acquaintances passing away since summer began. She is strong in her faith, but endurance is strained when one loss after another is dealt with in a short period of time... remaining strong, in support of friends & family, becomes difficult.

Poor Patti. Will be keeping her and Jon and family in my prayers.

I have an update on Carol. Her surgery was canceled because they found a tumor growing outside of her liver. This tumor is more dangerous than the ones she has and is considered life threatening. She and her family are looking at their options to figure out what to do next.

Just wanted to tell you all "thank you" for the prayers and thoughts on Destiny's behalf. She came through the surgery well. I will start a topic later on in the afternoon, after I get some rest. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers today...
Also, please add Reyla to the list. She has the flu, so Megan wanted to keep her home close to her doctors in case she needed to be seen...
I am still praying for the rest of the Garden Helper family that all the needs be met...

I am so happy to hear she made it through the surgery. Praying that she recovers quickly and that Reyla is feeling better soon.
