Do any of you have prayer requests??

My SIL Maureen and her hubby Doug could use a BIG dose of PT prayers if anyone out there in PT land should read this.

A week ago, Doug had what should have been a simple hip replacement, but it was not that easy slam-dunk that they were hoping for.. He suffered some very serious and life threatening complications and is presently in a hospital/rehab facility. He was doing somewhat better yesterday, and if he continues to improve, then could be released to home on Sunday, and receive home health care. He has a very long recovery ahead of him.

And to make it all even more stressful, Maureen will be remembering a very sad anniversary, the first week in September. Ten years ago in 2004, her (and my middle brother's) son and only child, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 40 - just 5 months after his father passed at the age of 64.

Please send some good wishes and positive vibes to these 2 good people.

Thanks for reading.

Prayers for Doug and Maureen, and all who love them.

Even routine surgery can become suddenly non-routine. We lost a dear PTr not long ago - I think she went in for a hip replacement as well, and never woke up.

Good news that Doug is improving, and I pray and hope he regains good health soon.

Thank you Candace. Doug had other health issues, but this series of events was very unexpected.

And yes - I remember Terry's story very well. It was a "simple" knee replacement - tho she had many issues with an already botched knee replacement prior to that.

They will be in our prayers for sure!

Please pray for relief from the severe and devastating drought in California. According to tonight's news, many people can't get what they need for showers and other basics. One woman said their well went dry 3 months ago and after work her husband keeps digging deeper with little success. Emergency drinking water is coming in but the farmers are being hit especially hard. To our PT friends in California feeling the effects of this record breaking drought, you're in my thoughts and prayers for this to end very soon. If you can, let us know if we can help in any way.

Please send some prayers and warm vibes for my sister in law's foster kitten, Bramble. Her gait has been off for a few days now, and today X-rays showed a spine so curved that a bunch of discs are compressed. She is also extremely constipated, and if she can't poop on her own will need to be euthanized. Even if she can poop on her own, she's likely to have only a short time in this world before her curved spine becomes too painful to bear. She's so sweet, playful and beautiful, we're both crushed by the news. I don't know if this photo will show up, but I'll link it anyways...

Prayers on the way for comfort and healing.
