Do any of you have prayer requests??

Kater, I hope your dad pulls through and his pain is relieved.

Prayers for all who need them.

Prayers for this family and this man, please:

A 50-year-old cement truck driver has been charged in connection with a horrific accident that killed five people -- including three children -- in Calgary Friday night.


CTV.ca News Staff
The crushed Chrysler Intrepid is seen here under a 2005 Mack 700 Tri-Axel cement truck at the intersection of MacLeod Trail and 194 Avenue South West in Calgary Friday, Dec. 7, 2007.


The victims were crushed after the car they were in, which was stopped at a red light, was rear-ended by a Mack 700 Tri-Axel cement truck.

Police say the northbound Chrysler Intrepid was stopped at a red light located at the intersection of MacLeod Trail and 194 Avenue Southwest around 7 p.m. on Friday when it was struck from behind by a 2005 Mack 700 Tri-Axel cement truck.

"The force of the impact lodged the Intrepid under the front of the cement truck and the momentum of this truck pushed this vehicle nearly 300 metres northward where it finally came to rest in the east curb lane and shoulder," a statement from Calgary police said.

A male driver, 41, [father of the two girls]and a female passenger, 33,[mother of the baby] were pronounced dead at the scene. [They were engaged]

A six-year-old girl, nine-year-old girl and 16-month-old baby boy were also killed in the crash. Police say all three children were properly restrained in the back seat of the vehicle at the time of the collision.

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE DRIVER IS ONE OF OUR LOCAL AND BELOVED "FRIENDS IN SOBRIETY". We all are stunned, crying...we felt ripped apart like everyone did for the family killed...but to find out it is someone who has a heart of gold, and would not hurt a fly...who is truly loved by his friends...was driving the truck...

PLEASE PRAY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED...and that the truth comes out, WHATEVER it is.

thanks...

Thoughts for a former coworker and friend of mine, MaryEllen.

She was recently diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and it's spreading fast. She's had a few surgeries already, will be having a hysterectomy, and is going to have to go through chemo.

She is a sweet lady and not so well off so thoughts of her and her three boys will be greatly appreciated.

Prayers for ALL.
I may need a couple...I'm going in Monday to get my gallbladder out "the old Fasion Way".
I have a screen covering my stomach from the hernias and i have mesh holding my bowel together and tons of scar tissue(from the back surgery going through the front that did some damage years ago).
So,Going in blind with the scope through the belly button would not only have to reopen the screen but she may not be able to tell where the scope is going that could run into the week mesh holding the bowel.
plus re-repairing the opened screen can cause problems later on in years.
So the old fasion way...by far is the safest.
So i'll be in for 4-5 days.hopefully no more than that.
i'm caring for an old cat seperated from the rest that is super needy.I'm constantly at his beck and call.
I hope Mike can keep him happy.
Mike is fine with the others..i just am worried the old cat seperated from the rest won't get the attention he's use to.so i hope to be home soon.
i'm sure all will be fine though.i worry more for the cats than me.it's a easy operation.and i'll feel so much better after.

[Catty1]

catfamily....best of luck with your surgery. Even the 'old fashioned' way has improved from what it used to be.

I hope you heal quickly, and get lots of rest - in a recliner with the old kitty getting all sorts of lap time and love! He will be a great nurse.

Dear ones, would you say a prayer for Vickie, the children's ministry director at my church. She was treated for breast cancer, and then for ovarian cancer that developed as a result of the treatment for the breast cancer. From what I've read, women develop an increased risk for ovarian cancer after breast cancer and treatment. She is going to a specialist to see about a clinical trial because she now has lesions (translation: tumor?) on her liver. She's just an amazing woman, a total bundle of energy and the kids love her.

prayers for all who need them. catfamily, as you're laying in your recliner, keep a pillow on your belly, the cats can purr happily and you won't gasp in pain as the happy feet walk on you. kindest regards, joyce

Please get in contact with one of us if you are ok.... big (((((HUGS))))) going out to you, and hope that you can feel them where ever it is that you are.

Please send up some good thoughts for our PT friend who really could use positive moral support right now, and hope that she's still out there, somewhere.

MaryEllen had a heartattack this morning. She's not doing well at all.

[anna_66]

He's going through some really tough times right now. His mom has alzheimer's really bad (most of the time she thinks he's her brother)
They (he and his 4 sisters) are trying to find 24 hour in home care and if that doesn't work she'll be put in a nursing home.

It's not only that her health is going downhill and dealing with her alzheimer's but the sisters are more interested in the house and her car...or should I say money.
It seems like everyone wants to fight. Why is that? Why can't they just be concerned with their mom and want to take care of her? Why is it always about money?
Of course I can't interfere, I'll be told she's not my mom (his sisters and I don't get along-because their all idiots )

Sorry to go on, but he's having a terrible time and only wants what's best for his mom.

Oh gosh, that's so hard to deal with. Why do people have to grow so frail?
Thinking of Mark and you, as well as his mother.





Linda, thinking of your little pup too.

Requesting prayers for my friend Liz and her husband, Bob. He was having dental surgery last week when they cancelled it mid-op. He was exhibiting abnormal signs for his jaw -- the tests came back today and he has basal cell scarcenoma ... I suspect I just mangled the spelling of that. They are in shock at the moment, as well as the pain Bob is in.

Prayers would be appreciated.

MaryEllen had a heartattack this morning. She's not doing well at all.

Prayers for all and a special prayer for mary ellen, I lost a dear friend to ovarian cancer and a sister in law.

Did the chemo cause her heart stress?

[Kater]

My father's oncologist and the neurologist who has been overseeing his care believe that his nervous system is compromised and that recovery is not possible. They are not suggesting any treatment options at this point (although we had already ceased diagnostics and treatment earlier). His major organs continue to function well, so he probably has days possibly weeks left until one of them fails.

He is being transferred to Hospice today. They will treat him for comfort first and foremost. We have been waiting for a spot, so this is a blessing.

Please send prayers/good thoughts for peace.

Here is a photo of my parents taken on Dec. 1 before the UH Warriors vs. Washington Huskies football game.

Kater, bless your heart. I have been where you are. Your parents look like such lovely folks.

Your entire family has my prayers during this very difficult time.
