Do any of you have prayer requests??

[cassiesmom]

Dear ones, would you please say two prayers for people I know...

One. My niece has a friend at school whose older brother was killed in a motor vehicle accident back in June. This friend's family goes to the same church as me, my parents, and my sister's family. My sister saw the friend's parents at a recent school event and they are still having a very difficult time with their loss.

Two. My friend Mary, who's a couple of years younger than me and has three children, has been on chemotherapy for recurrence of a brain tumor for over a year. The tumor has stopped responding to the chemotherapy and she will be starting on a new medication probably next week. Please pray that the new medication will work.

Thank you,
Elyse

Prayers uplifted to everyone in need. God Bless you all!

I could use some positive thoughts. My job is driving me nuts...and I feel like a wuss for even letting it bother me but at the same time I know I could be doing a lot better. I work two 12 hr days and two 8 hr days. The 12s start at 6 am and the 8s start at 2pm. I can't sleep during my working days and on my days off thats all I can seem to do. I feel tired all the time even when I sleep a good 8 hrs. I caught some virus about two weeks ago and its caused me to miss shifts and even though I rest and take care of myself I still feel worn out and ill. I feel like if I bring up my concerns with the higher ups my complaints will fall on deaf ears because they feel like I should just be happy I'm getting hours at all. Never mind that its turning me into a spazz...*sigh*

I have a new one tonight. Update first, I have not heard yet how my friend Mary did on the first dose of the new drug. I will update again when I know more.

The new one is this. I have lighted some candles in the past for one of the pastors at my church, Dr. Bob. He had a cancer of the thymus gland (part of the immune system) and responded well to chemotherapy and radiation. He was diagnosed with another type of cancer (atypical carcinoid) a little over 3 years ago and has been on chemotherapy ever since. Today he announced that he is going on long-term disability. He asked for prayers for healing and for patience. I am sure it won't be easy for him to be away from his pastoral work. He is a dear heart.

Thank you again,
Elyse

I'll keep him in my prayers,Elyse. When my Mom had cancer, her heart was damaged by the chemo and she became housebound. But next to her chair was a lamp, a telephone and a little stack of prayer cards. She told me that although there wasn't much she could do, she could pray for people. I was very touched by her undaunting spirit of service. God bless her, she set an example for me till her dying day. God will help your Pastor continue his (or should I say, His ) work too, no matter what.

I'd like to ask, if I may, for prayers on behalf of my brother. He's become quite infirmed and I just pray he can be helped.

Update. Mary has had her first few doses of the new drug. So far it has left her extremely tired. I got an e-mail asking for friends to prepare family-friendly meals, freeze them and deliver with reheating instructions because she is not up to cooking for her family. I don't know yet if the chemo is working - I don't believe she has had any follow-up imaging studies yet. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you,

When Star was called Up, North of the Bridge, on Sppecial Assignment to God,
Jack-a-Roo took a road trip wiffa Bi-Ped Folks over to the ole stompin Farm
in OhHiHo ... did an interview wiffa Nice Gurl (who they hired onna spot) -
jumped back inna Husky Bus an motored back to the Island wiff Tori.

{Tori on the left; Jack on the right} >>>



Things have been GREAT wiff Jack an Tori - he's taken her to da Ocean,
da Sights, da Parks, da Neighbours, shared his mini-Bi-Ped Friends ...
they've become Good Buddies! All has been well ...

Till Tuesday nite!
Tori suddenly showed extreme pain - and was rushed to the ER.

By 3:30 AM Wednesday morning she was in Sir Jury for a serious bowel obstruction
AND a twisted artery. Bad pieces were removed, holes patched,
artery straightened, Zippur installed ... and the Healing has begun.

Need we suggest ...

Pet Talk Prayers are requested ... this is a *serious* situation that will
require a *serious* PT Prayer commitment from ALL the PT Critters
and their Hooomins. ~~~ *!, 2, 3 ... Let's all PRAY!*

Jack-a-Rooo & his Bi-Peds say THANKS!!

You can count on my prayers for immediately healing for Tori.

I got an e-mail about Mary today. She had a seizure and her doctor ordered a new MRI of her brain. The tumor looks different on this MRI and Mary's doctors are not yet sure if the tumor has grown or if there is still swelling related to her radiation. Her husband has been out of town for work, but he's coming home. Could you please keep Mary and her family in your prayers again.

Thank you,
Elyse
