Please keep my sister's mother in law in your prayers.
Her name is Sandy. I have asked for prayers for her before. She is recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is going thru chemo. She is not eating, lost a lot of weight, lost most of her hair, and is in the hospital right now with very low red blood cell count and white blood cell counts.
Staci, I will keep Sandy in my prayers.
Thanks, I haven't heard how she is today. Will call my sister this evening.
Also, my dad is having a pretty significant back surgery on Monday the 27th. Please pray that God's hand will guide the surgeons and this will help with his excrutiating back pain.

Lots of prayers and good thoughts for everyone that needs them. I will be continually thinking of you.
Please pray for my family and close friends. I lost my grandfather just about two or three weeks ago. He had been sick for a LONG time, and passed away just over a year after my grandmother. :( Please be thinking of Ellie, too- nothing serious happened, but she just had surgery.
Thanks alot for your good thoughts and prayers. Once again, I will be thinking of you and your families/friends!

Jackmilliesmom - You are in my prayers.
Don't loose hope, there's always other options.
You are all in my prayers. Jackmilliesmom, I'm so sorry about the miscarriage. Although I have never had that experience, my mother had a horrible time carrying babies full term and I have learned of the pain that goes along with it from her.

Thank you all for your prayers my husband and I appreciate every single one at the moment we are just tired and lost in a big cloud when I have more news I will update everyone.
Thank you all so much again
I'm so sorry, honey!
BIG HUGS,

Please pray for my MIL. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago. She already had her mastectomy & lympectomy, and is currently on chemotherapy for breast cancer. Last month, during her routine follow-up, they found a new cancer. This time, it's on her lung.
She will have a surgery to remove the malignant tumor from her lung next monday...
Please pray that God will provide her with all the strengths she needs to endure the surgery, and a speedy recovery afterward. Please also pray for her courage & determination to continue to fight the gruelsome battle with cancers.
Amen.
My word- in prayers honey!!!

I'd glad she at least said goodbye to us, but i'm sad i never got to meet her in person.
We shared so many stories and emails through recent years it almost feels like she's an Aunt to me.
Please say prayers for her last days to be comfortable, and for her friends and family's ease of heart.
everyone, everyone is in my prayers and will be thinking of you all.
I have a prayer request too - for ron's
strength, determination and happiness - he fell off tallest tree here and his life is shattering. please see here to know more.
it'd be great if you could lit a candle for ron too here. (and you can see the current page of latest candles here). he'd appreciate this a lot, he gets inspired easily.
many thanks to michelle (kittydelight) for starting it and thanks to all who kept ron in thoughts.
My last surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:30am. Please put it in prayer.
I so often say prayers for everyone on this thread~
Borzimom~ I've been paying attention~and I know.
I often say so many, many prayers~
crow_noir~ I have sat by so many bedsides, and I realize how painful this really is for you~yes, I will Pray .
gina's Ark Inc. I didn't have to click onto that link, I know :o
I send my heartfelt prayers~ every single night when I go to bed~
Yes, I really do!!!
I am scared. I shouldnt be- but I am . I am going to be gone from home for several days, and yes I know the dogs are cared for, but I hate not being here. And staring at a room for those days.... And another surgery- I am sorry- but I am scared..
;) Sent you a PM,Michelle. I was scared too.
Keeping all your requests on my prayer list. Bless you all.
If you can just keep a visual image of all of us from Pet Talk surrounding you - and telling you stories about their pets - and stopping to give you a hug - or hold your hand - or say a few prayers together...................that will be USQuote:

I am depressed.. I knew something was wrong when I woke up, and the doctor was sitting there at a chair next to the bed. At the news of what it is, I started to cry..
WHY AM I ALWAYS the "remote possiblity"???? This is now the 3rd time a "remote possiblity" has come true. When I tore up my knee after the break healed they said blah blah " and a remote possiblity the maniscus ( spelling) is so badly torn, you will wake up with a cast .. I did!. When I broke my leg last year- they said well you will have a 2-4 inch metal plate and about 4 screws in your leg, ITS A REMOTE CHANCE MORE- BUT WE DOUBT IT" - I woke up to " there is more hardward than we anticipated in your leg- its over 6 inches long with 14 screws, and two screws in the ankle itsself attaching the fibula... When I got pregnant with my daughter- " there is only a remote chance you will carry full term"- SHE WAS 3 WEEKS LATE AND CARRIED FINE.. ( ONLY POSITIVE 'REMOTE CHANCE" I CAN THINK OF..)
NOW- I am more worried and scared.. I understand they cant know all things- but that ray of hope I never would have thought of, held onto, got dashed to pieces. I can even see the fear on my husbands face...
Well- darnit ( sorry to curse) I have been saying for over a year how I feel.. Just like I did with my leg, or my knee- Doctors must think people are hypocondriacs ( spelling?).. Well- I AM NOT.. A normall active woman goes into a shell for months unable to do jack beans- even housework is a major adventure- and there isnt a problem???
You know the joke of this? Zubin is one of two therapy dogs I have that works with children with cancer- somehow he knows when things are turning. He gets silly with a child that is " not doing well", then presses his head in a childs lap " that is progressing"- only to slip suddenly out of no where into a more serious situation. He has been putting his head in my lap for months now. Pressing- like he knows something is progressing with his mother. Well ZUBIN WAS THE ONLY ONE RIGHT HERE.. I am not bashing my doctor- he is one of the top in the whole Northern Va. area and my hospital is one of the top 100 in the country- ( award and all!) so they know.. and I know they cant see all things in a ultrasound- but I would rather not have the hope, and given the worse case as " how it is" and anything else would feel like a blessing and not "dashed hopes".
I am sorry to vent- I am just upset, depressed, and now more worried. I am placing this in Gods' hand as He knows what is best for me in the future and the best way to remedy the ailment. It is terribly hard thought not to feel confused and scared..
This pet talk has been a God sent. It lets me think of anything else other than what is in my face 24/7.. I want to thank you all for your wonderful support. I have gotten so many positive wonderful pm's and I really do appreciate it.. Really!
... and the good news is that you did wake up! Better than the alternative, yes? (I'm trying to be light-hearted here ;) ) Doctors are pretty much "body mechanics", and they aren't perfect or all-knowing. Could be they didn't know what was really wrong till they got in there. It sounds like you are in good hands at a good place. Just try to take it one day at a time, God will give you the strength for today...everyday. So you have your computer with you? That's cool! :cool:Quote:

We as people know our bodys.
I hope you get well through all this and the future brings much good health and happiness for you.
Prayers for you from us in Maine.
Carla,Mike and our cats
I just got a call. They got enough into this, to prevent infection they have to wait until jan 3rd. The holidays and staffing at the hospital is not helping to move this up. At holidays, with short staffing etc they say they do not do surgeries that can wait. That doesnt stop an emergency, but I would not have my doctor. At this point, I would rather the same one as I have been through ENOUGH.. ( mutter mutter....kicking dirt clods- mutter mutter....) Meanwhile I feel like- "more hurry up and wait???" .. I know he has a right to a vacation.. but.. I am still muttering. .. They tried for the 14th. No go- too booked. I am wondering if they could move someone that could wait.. I suggested as they " quote look into the matter" as I need to cover my recovery with someone that can here. My husband is a top engineer - his place shuts down for two weeks at christmas- easily home with no problems as no one can cover his job..
( This really stinks... mutter mutter- more kicking dirt clods- mutter mutter..)
But perhaps you'd be better off getting the surgery done when people are not too distracted and overstretched by holiday events?
You'll be in our prayers.
I hope so. You are probably right- but its a blow to say the least.. As you know, I have been waiting for weeks for this to resolve.. now 3 more..Quote:
