Do any of you have prayer requests??

[Catty1]

Prayers for my friend Irene...she has waited and waited for surgery, has dealt with doctors who have finally started to communicate with each other (heart, vascular, GP) - has gone through another painful angiogram...her seventh in the last year at least...

Please pray for strength to be given her, and that she will have her surgery at last, and can begin to recover instead of getting worse and worse.

Thank you.

Catty1,

Dorothy39 here~~~~ And YES , I will keep your friend , Irene, in my thoughts and prayers for proper communication as well as for her Strength to Endure . I pray that she will receive the attention due her and that any surgery done will result in her road to recovery!!!!!!!!!!!

Bless You Catty1!!!!!




Please pray for me and my family as well!!!

A wonderful cousin of mine has been battling Pulmonary Fibrosis for the past three years. He was advised by his Doctor to have additional testing done in July because he was still experiencing shortness of breath. His test results confirmed not only Pulmonary Fibrosis over taking one lung, but, Cancer in the other that has spread to his liver as well as his bones.


He is 12 years older then me and I have ALWAYS looked up to him !!!

I have visited him while he is in the hospital, knowing full well that his days are now numbered. I have been with him and his family for the last few days, ( sort of feeling numb right now) and yes, I am crying as well!!!

He is still the same Wonderful "Bob" that I grew up loving, (We even laughed today!!!) He is on Oxygen now, and morphine~~~~~~~

I am so grief stricken and in Need of Pet Talk{{{ Hugs}}}} now, to help me get through this moment of transition in my life!!!

[Catty1]

Dorothy - PRAYERS and HUGS to you...what a sweet blessing to be able to laugh with your dear dear friend!

I wish Bob peace, and mostly - love and laughter.

He is in my prayers, as are you and his family.

I have never responded to this thread and rarely visit it. It's bad, I know and I'm ashamed of myself. However, I just got home from work and something told me to open it up right away. I've just read Dorothy's post and somehow it seems way to close to home. Dorothy, I don't know what to say except to send out all my prayers to you, Bob and the family. Big {{{hugs}}} to you sweetie.

Catty, your post touched my heartstrings because I had an uncle that went through the same thing. He finally did have his surgery and made a complete recovery. He passed of old age about 10 years later. I pray that she will come out on the winning end very soon. Big {{{hugs}}} to you too.

...and to the rest of you, I'm deeply sorry that I have not responded to all of you. Please know that each and every one of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Forgive me as well. Sometimes, admittingly, shamefully, I get self absorbed with me, myself and I.
And my problems are nothing compared with others. The PT family is so dear to me that when I read sad things about them and their friends and family, it breaks my heart. So if I don't reply either, it's because I can't find adequate words to respond, from worry and shock, but please know that before I lay my head on the pillow at night, I pray in my own way for all of you and yours. I have a problem understanding why such sad/bad things happen to such good people. It boggles my mind.

Dorothy, I'm so sorry to hear about your dear friend Bob. He must have enjoyed your visit tremendously, as I'm sure you bring the same warmth & compassion in person that you send to us on PT.
And Catty1, I will keep your friend Irene in mind, I hope she starts to feel better soon.
