Crutches are *no fun*!
So sorry to hear of all your troubles. Life sure can test us, sometimes. Keep your chin up and your eyes on the road :)Quote:

I got a voice mail from my Neuroligist saying she "thought" she saw a small
aneurysm on my last Ocular CT scan. I am scheduled to have a Ct Angiogram
of the brain next Thursday. Could you please say a few prayers that I get a
good report from this. I want these migranes to stop, but sort of dread the
processing to find the cause.:( Thanks. Liz.
I've learned not to pray hard about things; it demonstrates a lack of faith. So I'll pray easy that all will be well and that your CT scan shows nothing but good health. Migraines, BE GONE! Keep the faythe.Quote:

Elyse, I'm so sorry. A quick recovery to you.
Liz: I hope there is nothing seriously wrong. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to both of you and everyone else that needs one.
Prayers & positive thoughts for all that need them. I got the results
back from my test & yes I do have a brain aneurysm. The neurologist
wants me to talk with a neuro surgeon in this same hospital about a
certain treatment plan she thinks might help (plug) the wall of the aneurysm
and prevent later rupture. Don't have an appt. yet, but I'll know more next
week. Thank you for any prayers & good thoughts.:)
lizbud, I am so glad that if it had to be an aneurysm, that it was found NOW.
I pray that the treatment is successful, and prevents any more migraines.
{{{{hugs}}}}
Prayers continuing here in Ohio. I'm so glad that it was caught early. I see you well and refuse to see it any other way. Keep the faythe.Quote:

I'm also glad it was found now!
I know this may seem silly to some people but it's REALLY important to me!
We are doing an experiment to see if Max has an owner, if he doesn't we are keeping him. PLEASE, PLEASE pray that Max doesn't have an owner. Please? I really need this cat, I need a pet in my life again. Please, I know I've asked for prayers before but this is by far one of the most important one for me. PLEASE? I will be so sad if he is owned.
PLEASE and thank you.

I just found out one of my coworkers from the hospital lost her baby. I have no details but she only had about 6-10 weeks left in the pregnancy.
Please send up prayers for her and her family and other children.
Oh my, to be so close and to think that you're going to be welcoming a new family member only to have that happen. I'm so sorry for your friend. Of course, she's in my prayers that time will heal her broken heart and her family are included, too.Quote:

Just an update for those that have been following.
Papa/grandpa has been home for about a week. He is not doing well at all and I think these will be our final days with him. His body was rejecting the feeding tube again.
They quit giving him medications, quit the feeding tube, quit the fecal tubes (diapers from now on,) and basically it's just a matter of time. They are giving him pain meds to make sure he is comfortable and at peace. I imagine he'll be gone within the next couple days and honestly, I am ready. He needs to go, it's his time. He's not getting any better and has no quality of life.
Please think of him and wish him peace, and for my grandmother, who has been slowing losing her husband of 53 years.
{{HUGS}} to you all and please remember to tell your family and friends you love them.
It's this line that's the true heartbreaker. I'm so sorry about all this and wish I could remove this cup from you. Please know that I don't forget even if I don't always post. Your Grandpa and Grandma and you and yours are always on my prayer list. :love:Quote:

Is Papa aware of what is happening? I hope you will be able to have another good visit or two.
In similar situations, our own family was told that hearing is the last thing to go...so I am sure he will hear you, even if he doesn't respond.
Prayers for peace to all of you. :love:
((((hugs))) to you, Kay. As hard as this is, at least he is home and surrounded by his loving family. It's never easy, but is sounds like you know he is ready, and will be at peace in a better place. You & your family remain in my prayers.
Prayers to you and your family Kay. Do you have hospice helping? They are very experienced with the end of life and easing the pain and helping the family too, I hope your family is not dealing with this alone.
Kay I'm very sorry to hear this. :( I've lost both of my grandfathers, its a very difficult thing to go through. I hope he passes peacefully, I'll be keeping you, your grandmother, and your family in my thoughts. {{HUGS}}
Please keep Bobcat in your thoughts. Yesterday, we found out he needs a pacemaker ASAP. Surgery is scheduled for Monday.
Here's a photo of Bobcat comforting Pepper after a boo-boo.
Prayers on the way for Bobcat - may all go extremely well!!

Prayers for Bob and the pacemaker. :love:
I know so many of these are done routinely, yet it means the HEART, and that is always scary. HUGS and more prayers that all goes well. Bob will likely feel better than he has in a long time.
Hoping that Pepper comforts Bobcat after his booboo. ;)
Prayers for Bobcat on the way (I love that pic of him and Pepper!! Is that a recent Pepper boo-boo??).
My grandpa had one put in, and he called it his "Peacemaker", lol.
Prayers for my Father in law.
he has stage 3 non hodgkins lymphoma of the B cells I believe (?)
He went through all his treatments... had his last one yesterday. they told him at his second last treatment that he was in full remission. GOOD NEWS
however they also told him that he likely wasn't going to start feeling any better than what he was feeling (which was not good) and they told him that with this type of cancer... they can only do the treatments so many times until it becomes unresponsive. So if it comes back they MIGHT be able to put it in remission again but if it comes back again after that there is not much they can do.
the ONLY way that they might be able to cure it is with a bone marrow transplant and they have already said that he is not healthy enough for that... he would likely die from the procedure.
So I ask for your prayers for his continued recovery. I know Brian is not ready to lose his father or hannah's grandfather.
Prayers going out for lizbud, bobcat and sparks's father in law. And of course anyone else I missed.

Prayers for Liz, Alysser, Staci's coworker, Kay and her family, Bobcat, spark's fil, and all others who need them. *hugs* :love:
Bobcat is home from the hospital and doing well. Pepper is curled up under his chin and Cammie is in his lap. :D
Prayers and more prayers that all continues to go well. How could he miss with all of the wonderful 24/7 nurses he has to watch over him?
Awwww....great news! As gini says, with those fur nurses it's clear sailing ahead for Bobcat!:D
I asked my friend Bruce today if there was anything I could do for him, and he said, "Pray for my soul."
A friend of many years, not often seen...a relationship hard to define, except perhaps a good and gentle friendship, more loving than either of us knew.
A few years back, I wasn't sure if he wanted to date me or just be good friends. I asked him that today - he figured a bit of both. With Bruce, friends and honest love were the same.
His son Kevin phoned me on Tuesday. Bruce had been diagnosed with terminal cancer a month earlier, after having abdominal pains for some time. Kevin asked his dad if there was anyone he wanted to be notified, and Bruce told him to let me know.
Bruce said he was sorry for not getting in touch in recent months, but that he hadn't felt well. He is surrounded by wonderful children and their children. The visit Tuesday was good; he was jaundiced, but in full possession of his mind and humour! He was looking forward to all the kids Trick or Treating Thursday night - children of the families who were patients in the cancer ward - and he enjoyed it immensely I am told.
Today I went to the hospice. He sleeps with his eyes open - that looked particularly weird, his breathing somewhere between a snore and a dying rasp. It was easy for me to talk to him, to tell Kevin about unanswered questions.
I had given Kevin a hug; his eyes were red-rimmed through the whole time I was there. I had been in his shoes. Told him he was a good son. And Bruce knew he had great kids...even his ex was in tears on Tuesday.
Then, shortly before I was psyching myself to leave - he was hard to awake, but I knew I wouldn't see him again, likely - he woke up. He had woken briefly before I arrived, and Kevin had told him I was on my way. He was hard to wake up - but when he did wake again, and his face lit up and he smiled when he saw me, I just lost it. I just sobbed as if my heart would break, and Bruce was so concerned that I was upset...gave myself a big nosebleed at the same time.
He was still all there in brain and personality. There wasn't much to leave unsaid, and we said it all. He was comfy, no pain at all...and was completely accepting of where he was at, having a very strong Christian faith. Every time I thought it was time for me to leave, grief heaved up in me again. "I can't leave til you go back to sleep," I told him, "but don't do it on my account." Bruce smiled.
Kevin's sister and brother-in-law arrived. In the way grieving families can, they had some laughs going on. It felt safer to leave. I told Bruce I was going, gave him a kiss on the forehead, then on the lips. He kissed back - a simple, warm love kiss...the only one we'd ever exchanged. I told him I loved him, and he said the same.
This sounds like it is all about me. I am sorry. I can't stop crying right now.
It is about the loss of a wonderful man named Bruce Thomas. If you would help me honour his request - pray for his soul.
Thank you.
You Got It!!:love:prayers on the way.
Oh Catty1, your request touches my heart. It's only been about 2 months since we had to say goodbye to my wonderful sister in law, and I know well those moments are so hard to get through. Prayers for your loving friend Bruce, and for you also, dear. May God grant you both Peace, and give you strength to carry on.
