Do any of you have prayer requests??

well I just got off the phone to my mom and they had left the drs office. Looks like around the first of November my dad is facing major back surgery with a large incision, rods and pins in his spine, and about 3-4 days in the hospital with a legnthy recovery time. He sees the dr again in 3 weeks to set up an appt.

My brother-in-law's nephew, Dave, was brutally beaten in August, and left for dead by a dumpster. He is still in a coma. Dave is 21 years old. He has just been moved from the ICU to a rehab center, and is listed in serious, but stable, condition. No idea why this happened, and of course, the reasons don't matter, do they?

Dave, and his family could use the special magic of PT.

Thanks,
Johanna

Our little community - how could we have so much suffering to share? But we do - and we also have much joy - new babies - new pets - and good outcomes on surgeries. I guess it is just "life".

It seems so little to say "prayers will be offered" - but lots of them will be offered and intently for each one.

MANY prayers and good thoughts for everyone that needs them. We will continuosly be thinking of you!

Please, I need to request some prayers.

Like I've posted before, my grandpa REALLY needs prayers. He especially needs them now-he is doing very poorly...probably the worst he's ever been.

Also, can I please ask for prayers for my friend?

My friend just told me a few days ago that he is in the VERY early stages of a cancer. Please be thinking of him!

Thank you SO much everyone, for the prayers and the thoughts. My friends, family and I really appreciate your thinking of us. Thank you so much again!

Like I said, many prayers and good thoughts for everyone that needs them!

we've been homeless for a week now just because I fought what's right for my dog and going school full-time, half of quarter is over already. I want to but can't say much here, sorry.

prayers for everyone, still.

You are in my prayers!

Maybe it's time to get a Second Opinion.
Two heads are better than one ...
There just might be another way to Fix Him Up.

I'll have the Prayer Pups mention your Dad to their Buddie Upstairs tonight at Prayer Tyme.

Meanwhile, tell Dad we're ALL Praying for him.

You know, Phred, that is exactly what I emailed Staci. It just seems as though there is a rush to surgery as the solution.

My brother went through a lot of pain a few years ago and the Dr. was all hot for surgery. In the end - he opted out on the surgery - and with care has been fine since.

I am all for a second opinion too.

**cyber-sibes** · 09-29-2006, 01:21 PM

Staci, we sure will keep your dad in our prayers.

Dave & his family will also be in our prayers. I can't imagine how much pain this is causing his family.

I hope they catch whoever did this horrendous thing and punish them severely.

Thanks for the prayers! They worked.

((HUGS)) to all and prayers from me on the way.

**Alysser** · 10-02-2006, 08:50 AM

URGENT prayers for Star. She seems she is having trouble breathing.

**shais_mom** · 10-02-2006, 10:37 AM

My neighbor mentioned to me the other day he was "saving" a dalmation from going to the pound. He really doesn't want her but didn't want to see her go to the pound. He isn't the best dog owner but I suppose his intentions are good.
I mentioned this at work and my boss' aunt wants this dog.
Please pray that we can get this 5-6 month old dalmation out of the home she's in - I don't think she's being abused - just doesn't have time for her. And make the connections so that this dog can have a fabulous home with my boss' aunt.
Thanks
