Do any of you have prayer requests??

[Catty1]

Asking for prayers for my BFF Irene. She is just 45; peripheral artery disease and type 2 diabetes run in her family; she has both and has had two heart attacks while in her early 40s (one she didn't even know she had).

She knows she has to quit smoking and has had success and then gone back. A recent ultrasound showed that the vein on the right side of her neck (maybe artery?) is 70% narrowed. This will mean surgery; she is at high risk for stroke; she is really scared because this is what killed her mom.

She is throwing her cigarettes away on Saturday. Please sent prayers that she stays clean this time. She says it is all that she can do, and she thinks it is too late - but she is doing it.

Thanks.

How is your BFF now?

Asking for prayers for my husbands family. As some of you know, his young cousin was killed by her boyfriend last Friday morning. The funeral is this coming Sunday. Please pray for them to have some way to get through this tragedy.

I have a co-worker who is having surgery for cancer today.

I am so happy, my co-worker is back at work today and she looks good! Thank You, God for answering our prayers for her.

Great news for your co-worker! Yaay!

She's been extremely tired after work every day and she starts her chemotherapy soon. But she looked really, really good when I saw her.

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.

I got an e-mail that my friend Mary has had another recurrence of the brain tumor. That is bad news.

And I'm praying that the hurricane will make a hard right, go out to the ocean and quietly fade away.

Many prayers and good wishes for all those in the path of Hurricane Irene. Take care, and may you all stay safe.

God bless.
