Do any of you have prayer requests??

My aunt has sepsis. She is currently in the ICU, and her kidneys are failing.
They can't figure out what caused the infection, and are trying to figure that out now..
From what I've been told, it doesn't look very good right now.. It's going to take a lot of praying to turn this around for the better..

This is my favorite aunt and I haven't seen her since Thanksgiving.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get there to go see her.. They live in San Antonio, almost 6 hours away..

If anyone would like to add her to their prayer list at church, that would very much be appreciated.. Her name is Paula.

Prayers for your aunt, molucass, that they find the infection and can treat it! More prayers that you can find a way there.

I am afraid I am slipping into a severe depression. This is the first time I have actually admitted it. I am feeling totally desperate about the fact that I have not found a job and can't pay my bills. My unemployment runs out end of May and I am so scared, and I'm barely surviving on that. I can barely by food, and I can't afford my medication. Sometimes, I have to decide what I need - food, or medication. I am so scared... I don't know what to do. I have very little motivation and I basically feel housebound because I can't afford to do anything - not even drive because I'm scared to run out of gas in my car. Tilly and Nutmeg are still ok, as I always make sure I get food for them to eat. I just want to find a job and I am noticing that even the jobs that I could apply for are dwindling. I am not sleeping, I'm not eating properly.. I feel like my life is in shambles.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and produce a job for everyone who needs one but since that isn't feasible, I'll add my prayers to your situation. Try to hold on a little longer for Tilly and Nutmeg if for no other reason. I do know exactly how you're feeling. I was in the same situation years ago and I took to my bed out of fear, which of course, solved nothing. (((HUGS))) Keep the faythe.

Nomilynn...first, see your doctor or go to ER.

Often your doctor will have free samples of medication given to him/her by the drug company reps.

Apply for social services, even to cover your meds. Use the food bank. If you have a church community, reach out to them. Even the distress centre has resources for you to call.

Nutmeg and Tilly need their mommie!

HUGS and prayers that things improve soon with a job - but take care of yourself first!

Nomi,

An extra set of vibes sent out your way.


My sis is having her surgery on Tuesday. She found a wonderful surgeon, after one from UCLA refused to even touch her during the exam. Some good vibes and thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Saying extra prayers for you, and sending some ((Hugs)) your way. You've been on my mind a lot lately. I hope that things are improving for you.

Thank you so much. I never remember to come to this thread on a regular basis and I am so touched that you thought of me.

I had an interview today but I don't think I'm meant to have this job. I am also doing a job search club which is teaching me new techniques that I am finding really positive.

Other than that, I am doing ok. When I allow myself to think about it, I can feel panic in my throat so I think I am in a little bit of denial, but I hope that I can get through it.

Re: My aunt - she is being released from hospital today, and my mom is flying to Winnipeg right now to help her out with groceries, etc.

My aunt is the youngest - Mom is the oldest. No doubt Auntie will get some gentle (ahem) chiding on stopping smoking, and not being a 100% couch potato. Heck, this pneumonia nearly killed her...her overall health and immune system need a boost!

THANK YOU for all your prayers.
