2 prayer requests

I listed these in the daily stretcher thread but thought I would post them here.

1) My DD's great-grandfather passed away Friday. DD's grandma (this is DD's bio-dad's family) is going to upstate NY with her daughter. They will probably be back home today or tomorrow, but I didn't find out about the passing until Sunday. I worry about her, my psuedo-MIL. She lives alone now since her daughter moved out. Though her daughter is literally just a few houses down, I can imagine she will be especially lonely in the evenings. Normally, MIL would swoop in and take DD for a few days to pass the time and lift her spirits, but with us living 750 miles away now that will not be possible. I have opened my home to her and I hope she will come visit during Thanksgiving. The death of her father was not shocking as his health had been very poor the past year. But any passing is hard to deal with, so please pray for her and her sister's peace as they deal with this. The good news is that there is very little to do since he had been living in a home the past year and his house and belongings had been sold or given to family members already. And he requested that there be no service, just a dinner with all the family remembering the good times.

2) I have a job interview Wednesday for a part-time administrative position. It's in Indianapolis, but only 3 days a week. DH and I have discussed what might happen if I have job with an hour commute and we decided that a part-time job with the right pay with a commute would not be so bad. If it was closer to home, then I would be aiming for full-time work. My prayer is for G-d's will to be done, whatever that might be. I really want to return to work and I would love a part-time job and I am aware of our finances and what I would need to earn for this to work, so I'm hoping that all this waiting is going to be worth-while and that this is where G-d is leading me.

Would you please include me?

Would you please include me in your prayers for a bit? I am having exacerbations of a health condition which are potentially serious. Thank you.

Prayer Circle

Deborahmichelle — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 17:08:40 GMT

At the request of LateNightLeader (Tracy), lets us believers start a prayer circle. I'll add to my Prayers Journal anything that you bring to this thread (except of course things that are unG-dly from non-believers). And I'm sure that you'll add to your prayers what we all bring up. For me, my Austerity Budget (rent 155% of what it had been) starts up on 9/1 -- plesae pray that I can live within it gracefully. TIA.

Please pray for my DD Bean, she has been having trouble breathing for a week. Went to ER last evening, they did a CAT Scan and found a mass in her throat area., not sure where it is located. She is terrified. Will have a swollowing test and possible biopsy. They have no idea what this is , it is blocking her airway at odd times. Pray for healing and wisdom for her Dr. and for peace for the family. Her baby is only 2 1/2 months old and breastfeeding. Babs

Two good friends in need of prayer

seaturtle — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 02:57:53 GMT

Also, a young man of 23, a friend went into a psychiatric hospital yesterday on suicide watch. Thank go-d he did not succeed. He needs great help.

Prayer for BIL and my DH

sunshinetreva — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:06:02 GMT

Last night my DH's brother-in-law who lives here in IN called b/c their other brother who lives in TX has developed some complications. He was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and it seems to have spread to his brain, liver, and some other places. There is internal bleeding, but the dr's can't figure out from where. The brother-in-law in TX and my DH had a falling out many, many years ago. At their mother's funeral 2 years ago things got worse. They basically don't speak to each other.

I'm not sure what my prayer request is exactly. I don't wish any harm to my BIL and I truly feel for him and his wife. I'm also very concerned about my DH. He's handling this pretty well right now, but I'm not sure what could happen if/when this BIL passes (which they are saying is going to happen most likely very soon). I don't know if DH would want to go to the funeral and I don't know that we (DD & I) could go with him, but I can't let DH go without me b/c of his medical conditions. Stress brings on seizures - very bad ones. I don't know if DH wants to talk to his brother or if they would want to try reconciling. There's too many "I don't knows" and DH doesn't know either which is why he can't tell me!

I know there's a lot of "ifs" in all of that, but I'm not sure how to word it all. So please just keep my DH and his BIL in your prayers.

Prayer for my Father

Brandy — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:19:32 GMT

I have not mentioned my father's health here lately. He went into the hospital for surgery to remove a growth from his colon. This called for removing a part of his colon this time. Recovery has not gone very well. He has been in ICU for the past fifteen or so days.

They were able to take him off the feeding tube and begin giving him solid foods yesterday. They are monitoring him. Currently he seems to be doing ok with that but his blood pressure is still higher than it should be and he is still disoriented as he is not on his normal medications.

Please pray for greater levels of recovery. And pray for Mom who has been driving out every day to be with him; she is exhausted.

Prayers for the People or Relatives on DS Who Have H1N1

Virginia Needlewoman — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:02:55 GMT

I thought that I'd start this thread since we seem to have a large number of members or relatives of members who have H1N1.

I'm not as good at prayers the way Deborahmichelle, Gayla, and Babs are, but I really do hope that everyone has a speedy recovery.

Prayer for new baby

mamasjob — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:31:49 GMT

Please pray for my dear friend's newborn son. He was born 3 weeks early. My dear friend caught a common virus but ran a high temp and it sent her into early labor and she delivered her son who had underdeveloped lungs and also caught the virus. It is not the flu but some other virus where antibiotics are useless as there is no infection. He has been fighting a fever for 3 days and last night his heart and lungs were not working very well so he was intubated. We are hoping this will help his heart work better and he can recover from the virus. He is in the pediatric ICU in Omaha, which is an hour from our hometown. She and her DH and 2 year old live on the farm (she stays at home) and she is trying to keep everything together and spend all her time at the ICU. She is still recovering herself.

Her doctor told her that normally, this virus is not serious and in non-pregnant women, you just feel achy and run a slight fever. But since she was pregnant, her immune system was supressed and it really hit her quite seriously. It is a common virus that most of us have had in our lives (I think she said it is the same as hand, foot and mouth virus) and usually poses no serious risk. She could have caught it at church, the grocery store, the bank, anywhere.

Please include this little baby in your prayers. Thank you!

Prayer for my brother...

Loveday — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 19:19:22 GMT

I wasn't sure if I should post this as a separate thread or in the prayer circle, so if this would be better in the prayer circle thread, would the appropriate person move it for me?

As I've mentioned elsewhere, my brother is a diabetic. He's lost one leg below the knee, is on peritoneal dialysis, and his vision is bad. Things seemed to be stabilising for awhile--his eye doc has been very pleased to find that his sight has improved slightly, and with cataract surgery should see even more improvement. But the other day, after doing blood work in advance of the first cataract surgery, they found he had an infection somewhere so had to cancel the surgery til they located and treated the infection.

Well...turns out the infection is in his remaining foot. He was admitted to the hospital last night, and they're pumping antibiotics into him now. The doctors tell him that it's possible he may lose part of the foot, but they'll do everything they can to keep that from happening, or if they do have to amputate, they'll take as little as they possibly can.

My brother lives in Orlando, and works at one of the big theme parks there. He doesn't make much, but he's got good insurance, so he HAS to stay there. He moved there long ago and no matter what we tried to tell him over the years, he refused to consider coming back home, even after he got diabetes over ten years ago. We would have him up here with us in a heartbeat if we could afford to take care of him, but he'd lose his insurance, and even with Social Security and Medicaid and all that, his expenses would cripple us financially. He has no money saved; he really lives on the edge financially--a tiny apartment, a couple thousand dollars in the bank if even that much--he's literally a paycheck or two away from homeless. If he doesn't recover from this, if he loses that foot, he won't be able to work anymore, and he'll be out on the street. (well, no, at that point we'd get him up here, I wouldn't let that happen, but I really don't want it to get to that point, for our sake and most especially for his. He likes to work--he's never NOT worked, it would kill him to be told he couldn't work anymore--and he loves his job).

Anyway, may I ask for prayer for my brother? Whatever is God's will in this situation..could all you forum prayer warriors please pray for my brother?

Thanks.

Mimi — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 07:39:55 GMT

Things are too crazy to go into detail now, and I know that God will know how to fill in the blanks if you do pray.

One thing I will mention is that I have family in Georgia and the waters are rising and they are scared. Please pray for peace for them and safety and for their homes and everyone there.

Whatever prayer requests that I've seen, even if I haven't posted a reply, please know that I am praying for you!

Thank you so much for your prayers for me and my loved ones! They are greatly needed and deeply appreciated!

Please pray for my Rabbi's wife

IrishMom — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:16:07 GMT

My Rabbi's wife was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her cheek about 5 years ago. She went through radiation and chemotherapy, eventually going into remission after having the tumor and some surrounding cheek muscles excised. It recently has returned, and has moved into her frontal lobe. Surgery options are starting to close, as her pulmonologist is worried about if she could even survive another surgery (she is 74).

This woman is such a wonderful light to all those around her. She is like a grandmother to me and my children. I am always over at their home, doing errands for her and chatting with her and Rabbi.

Please keep her in prayer,

Melissa Sue

She was just admitted to the hospital. She had a lot of blood in her stool this morning . She is 104 but has been solid as a rock for the most part. The day she dies I think you are going to have to carry me out on a stretcher also.
