Prayers for all who need them.
How sad for your brother and his family, Pat. I'll be keeping them in my thoughts and prayers.
Please pray for two guys on my street: Bobby and Chris. Both have just gone through such a horrible ordeal with their pets. :(
They'll be in our prayers.
My furkids and I need lots of prayers and positive thoughts.
Robin, I was beginning to wonder where you had gone!
Many, many prayers and good thoughts for you and the furkids.:love:
Prayers for everyone that I've missed lately.
I'm learning more with my new Bible I got.I got the easiest one to read and still it's a lot memory that I already can't do...but hey,I am trying...just never read the whole Bible before growing up.
Always seemed to difficult to read.
I've been very busy with this house we moved in plus my back is soooo bad.
And of course I need to be with my cats more than be on the computer or I won't have happy cats:rolleyes:
Please be well everyone...my thoughts are with you all.
My thoughts and prayers are going out to all that need them.:)
My mom had a (repeat) right total knee replacement on Wednesday. She had both knees done in 2004 and the right one got infected, and because of that, the hardware was twisted in the joint causing a lot of pain. She had a difficult morning yesterday because of the anesthetics, but yesterday afternoon/evening went better. I'm thankful that the surgery is over, her knee has been properly put back together :) and we go forward from here.
Prayers are being offered for everyone who needs them.
We can do both ... Pray and Think Pawsitive.Quote:

Sending prayers and thoughts to all those in need.
I'd also like to thank everyone for the prayers for my grandma after losing her soulmate. She is a strong lady and is hanging in there.
Prayers for everyone that needs them!!
Prayers requested for my grandma. She had skin cancer removed from her nose and back. She'll be going in for more chemotherapy tomorrow.
Hi PT! *waves*
I am sending out prayers to those that need them. The list is rather long these days...:(
I'd also like to ask for good thoughts for Kirk next week. He is flying from Honolulu to Denver on an overnight flight that leaves Thursday, August 14th. I am honestly petrified, but am trying to focus my energies on preparing my place for him (need dog gates, fence repair, foodies, etc.). I pick him up early on Friday. I'm hoping he'll be in one piece and not too traumatized! I will try to update you all on Friday and post pictures when I can.
Much Mahalos! :love:
Just an update and a second request please for my DH.
His angiogram showed that his cardiac disease is progressing and he has three new blockages. The good news if you can call it that is a doctor has accepted his case and DH will undergo angioplasty on Thursday. Prayers and positive thoughts again would be really appreciated.
All those going through difficult times will be especially remembered in my prayers on Thursday.
Sending prayers & :love: to everyone for their requests. Please keep my SIL Pauline on your prayer list, too. She gave permission for a very high-risk course of treatment, which they began on Friday. This is the absolute last option available, so we are all praying it works.

Louie and me, prayers definitely go out to your husband. Last week I had a heart catheterization done (I have atrial fibrillation) and luckily they didn't find any blockages, but they could have found some. So I know pretty much what he's going through and my thoughts go out to him.
Could you add my nephew Spencer to your prayers? Spencer has been a little under the weather lately. So his doc ordered some tests, thinking he had mono, a relatively common ailment among 15 year old boys. Unfortunately, that's not the problem. Spencer has his first biopsy at the Cross Cancer Centre tomorrow. We don't know yet what exactly is wrong, but it's never a good sign to have tests on Thursday and on Monday be told to check in the next morning for at least a week in hospital.
cyber-sides, what a gutsy lady Pauline is! I hope with all my heart that this treatment does something for her.
She's not giving up - and that kind of attitude can carry her clear through.
Tamara - Spencer at 15! He should be out blading and boarding and being a teen! I truly hope that whatever is found is a) NOT cancer, and b) VERY treatable whatever it is.
Prayers to all that need them! :love:

Spencer was diagnosed today with Hodgkins Lymphoma, likely stage 2. They are starting his first round of chemo and radiation tomorrow. I don't know the details of his treatment, but I think he'll get several courses of chemo, each seperated by a few weeks.
If you're gonna get cancer, this is apparently a pretty good one to have. The odds of remission are between 80-90% for cases caught early and treated aggressively. Spencer is in a very good treatment facility. He's young and strong. As terrifying as the "C" word is, his odds are pretty positive.
Times like this are the only time I hate living up here. I'm going to have to find a way to make a trip back there soon.
I don't even know where to start. This has been the worst year of my life.
My dad passed away in February. I miss him so much. Apparently, he was the glue that held our family together, because everything has just fallen apart.
My sister and brother-in-law are getting a divorce, after 30 years of marriage. She is having an affair. My niece and her husband are getting a divorce, after 12 years of marriage. Her three kids are just lost. She and her new boyfriend have this on-again/off-again mess, and she just found out she is pregnant. She is 38.
My step-kids are seriously the most horrible children I have ever met. Not kidding. Every single day it's a new issue. My husband thinks they are perfect little angels who can do absolutely no wrong ... they get thrown in jail, they abuse prescription drugs, they do meth. But nonetheless, they are the golden children. My husband and I pretty much hate each other these days, we can't go an hour, let alone a day, without a fight. There's no way this marriage is going to last. I'm just over it.
My son, who has been in trouble with the law for two years now due to a huge problem with smoking marijuana, is once again screwing up, two months after getting home after eight months in a juvenile facility. Today he wrecked his new car, he's had it for two weeks. My husband is pretty much gleeful about this, because it wasn't one of his little angels that did it, and he didn't want my son to get the car in the first place.
I will NEVER ask, "What next?" or "Could it get worse?" because I think the Powers That Be seem only too glad to show you exactly how much worse it could get if you do. I KNOW it could be FAR worse. But, dang ... it all starts to pile up after a while. I don't know what to do.
Where is "there"?Quote:

Can you check to see if the Hospital does distribute E-cards or E-mails to the patients?
'Have mail - Will send!'
Poor Spencer...I hope he gets better sooner than later.
And i hope you get there to see him soon.
The help that I can offer is the help that I offer everyone and that's prayer and plenty of it. You sound like a positive person and your attitude seems right on track and that's half the battle, as I'm sure you know. We'll send up prayers for Spencer and you that all will go well w/his treatment and I see him well! :)Quote:

Kids grow up, move out and our lives change when that happens, so if you can hold on until then, perhaps things will improve. In the meantime, I'll definitely send up prayers for this emotionally exhausted mom and her family. Keep the faythe. :)Quote:

I can't find anything on-line about the hosptial email. I'll ask my SIL next time I talk to her.
Glacier, you have my prayers for your nephew - I am sure everyone is a wreck about this. I do know that after aggressive treatment - a dear friend has been cancer free from Hodgkins Lymphoma for years and years.
And he is young which is on his side. Just the same, you wonder why, oh why, does this young man have to have this disease.
Twisterdog, let's set up a Pet Talk HOWL of prayers for you and your family. Just take it moment by moment..........don't look back, don't look forward. Most of all, take good care of yourself - you are important!!

How's young Mr. Spencer adjusting to the treatment?
Be sure to tell him that there are a Whole Lotta Folks & Furries all over the World
that are praying for his speedy recovery!
Glacier -- mine too. Twisterdog, add a MEOW of prayers to the howls. I also have good news, my mom came through the knee surgery much better than the last time (October 2004) and is walking a little better every day.Quote:

And how's the real / original purpose of this exchange ~ Spencer ??
Sure hope he's Feeling Better and making progress.
;)
I must admit that I do not get over to this thread often. Glacier and Twisterdog, they are both very serious and burdensome issues to deal with. I will add both of you and your families to my prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are going out to Spencer and family and Twisterdog. My goodness, I'm so sorry to hear this news in both situations.
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}
My thoughts and prayers are going out to everyone who needs them. Please take care everyone. ((((HUGS))))
Kirk arrived safely in Denver this morning...he seems to be only mildly traumatized hehe. Thanks for your prayers! Mine are going out to all those still needing them!! :love:
Awww, I'm so glad Kirk landed safely and is where he belongs, with you at his side. Yay for Kate and Kirk! (((((hugs)))))
Glacier, Spencer and the entire "Glacier Family"...
You are all in our prayers - and that's A LOT of prayers!! ;) The "C word" is such a scary word and little Spence sure was blessed to have the easily treated kind. Such wonderful news!!!!
The "Glacier Family" will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
:love:, Kelly, Noah, Basie, Phoebe & Micah
Twisterdog...
You sure have a heck of a lot to handle. If advice is what you seek, mine would be to, like Gini said, take it a step at a time. You cannot help anyone if you are too upset/sick/annoyed yourself. You'll need to put yourself first enough to help others. The ones you help? The children...the adults are who put the innocent children into all this for their own selfish desires. I think that if I were a child in any of the situations you described, I'd want to know that there was SOMEONE I could count on. I would have your nieces/nephews/children over for the day and instill into their heads and hearts that "NO MATTER WHAT" you will be there for them. No matter what...and mean it too. It sounds like your family has been running amok for a while...and it seems they knew their goingson were wrong, because they waited for your father to pass (I'm so sorry :( ((((((((Twisterdog)))))))) :( ) to let everything fall apart like this. Your husband needs to grow the heck up. Any person, any "MAN" that chooses one child over another, ESPECIALLY when he knows the sitation, and makes said child aware he/she is second choice to another...is not in any way a MAN! (a child doesn't have to be told he's second to another, he knows...trust me)
You and your family will be in my prayers as well. You have a ton to deal with, but remember, God only gives us what He knows we can handle. Do you see ALL that God has entrusted you with? Do you see all that He knows you are very capable of handling - with His help...
:love: & Hugs,
Kelly, Noah, Basie, Phoebe & Micah
