Glad to hear it, RICHARD. We'll keep the prayers going that she'll heal nicely.

Dear PT Friends, would you please say a prayer for my sister-in-law Karen and her father. The last time I saw him was on Christmas, and he was talkative and cheerful. My brother told me on Saturday that he is much more confused now; drives even though the doctor has said he shouldn't; and that he sometimes forgets to eat or to shower if he isn't reminded. He receives home-delivered meals. He is in his late 80s and made an amazing recovery from an infection with the "flesh-eating" bacterium about 10 or 12 years ago. It makes me sad to think about him failing.

Thank you,
Elyse

Prayers for Luna, one of Kirsten's dearly dearly beloved furbabies. She is very ill:

Thank you - PT Prayers can work miracles, and one is needed here!

Prayers on the way for everyone! I keep all of you in my thoughts every day as you have really become a family to me.

I received a very distressing email from a friend today. Her niece's best friend Breanna, who is a senior in high school, has been stricken with a mysterious life threatening illness. It started out a couple of weeks ago like a cold, then progressed to a flu-like illness and she was admitted to the hospital. The doctors don't know what's wrong with her, as she's not responding to any kind of treatment, and is now in ICU on life support. They wanted to transfer her to Duke Medical Center, but the doctors at Duke didn't feel she would survive the transfer. Unless she makes a miraculous turn around and starts to respond, then the doctors say she will die.
This poor girl needs prayers and a miracle. Please all, send some prayers and positive vibes to Breanna Fink in NC, and some for her family as well.
Thanks a bunch.

Goodness, Ellie, that's awful. It almost sounds as though it could be meningitis but then they probably would've had the diagnosis by now. Many prayers are on the way.....

Update. I talked to Karen after church on Sunday. Things are going better for her dad, but there still may be difficult decisions to make in the not too distant future.

**Catty1** · 03-31-2009, 10:14 PM

PRAYERS for Breanna - I hope she hangs on long enough for healing to settle in...come on, girl!

More prayers for Karen's dad...glad to hear things are a bit better for him. Won't make the decisions any less difficult. I hope she has a lot more quality time with him.

I'm sorry to hear this. Prayers are continuing so that, whatever the decision, he'll be as comfortable as possible so that they can enjoy whatever time is left to them together. My heart is w/you all.

**RICHARD** · 04-01-2009, 05:58 PM

Prayers to everyone...

Caring for your parents is a tough, emotional job. Every decision is hard, but you have to do your best by them. Be firm in your choices and always keep your wits and faith about you.

Every day is a new challenge. YOu just have to remember not to flinch.

Prayers are going out to everyone who needs them.

I need some prayers for my boss. This morning he felt very dizzy and strange so one of the office workers called 911 and the paramedics came and took him to the hospital. Several weeks ago he had the flu and he also had an ear infection and was on antibiotics for this. He's also very hard of hearing in one of his ears. The last I heard is that it may be vertigo but I think that they're still not sure.

I'm glad that he's getting himself checked out and hopefully it's nothing serious. He's been on a new diet and gets up early to work out and then works late so I don't think he's been getting enough sleep either. He needs to give more responsibility to the much younger vice president of the company. I hope that he'll learn to slow down and relax more because he's not getting any younger. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all that have offered up prayers to Breanna. This girl continues her very courageous uphill battle and fight for life. She is still at Duke and on the lung bypass machine, and the doctors have not yet determined when they will attempt to take her off with the hopes that her lungs will have rested enough for her to be able to breathe on her own.
Needless to say, her family is at their wits end, and totally drained, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Continued prayers for Breanna and her parents are all any of us can do right now.

And Elyse - thank you for the candles that you have been lighting for Breanna thru all of this. How very thoughtful of you!
