Do any of you have prayer requests??

[Karen]

My much loved cousin passed away a week ago (Dec 20th) in a vehicle accident. Brad was 32. He leaves behind 5 children.
Some of you have heard me mention before my cousin who passed away in 1996 from leukemia ... Brad was Wade's older brother. They leave behind one brother, Quade.

I'm 1200 miles away, but have been having trouble with this. Even though Brad is yet another cousin I lost touch with as adults (Like my cousin Vickie who passed away in July), I loved him dearly and have so many fond memories. My heart has been sad all week.

2014 has been so hard. My Granny died in February, Vickie in July and now Brad. Can you all pray that 2015 goes better for everyone?

So sorry to hear that. We do hope Brad's children and your whole family is able to pull together, and get through this sad time. You will be in our prayers.

Prayers for Scooter's Mom, mrspunkysmom, and all who have the extra pain of loss in their lives. If only tragedy took holidays too.

I wish everyone a great 2015, with healing, happiness and new life.

I am also grateful that Christmas Day was fun, with my aunt, mom and friend Irene. There were lots of laughs and it wasn't just Mom and I, though I am grateful she is here - and doing better!

Prayers for Karen L. "wolflady" here on Pet Talk, I saw a post on Facebook that she has had a stroke and is in the hospital. Big prayers on the way that if it is a stroke, she is getting the right care to recover from it quickly, with minimal damage!

I hope wolflady recovers quickly!

I'm so very sorry to hear this. Wolflady and her family will be added to our prayer list at church tomorrow. I hope you won't think I'm out of line by asking everyone to pray for her family too. My late Mom had three major strokes and this takes quite a toll on the family in many ways.

That is not out of line at all. I am sure this is very scary for pretty little Sylvia, and her husband trying to keep it all together for her sake, as Sylvia is just 3 years old.

I have a friend that thinks with her heart and not her head when it comes to her ne'er do well husband. I've been really worried about her. I'm really worried for her tonight. Please, send prayers that she will think before acting. She wants this marriage to work so bad that she will believe anything he tells her.

I'll explain more later.

PTers, I'm not sure if this made the national news so you may not have heard about it. We had some crazy weather west of Chicago earlier this week. There was a big tornado (category 4 - almost the most severe) that came through. It involved Fairdale, Illinois which is a small town about 75 miles northwest of where I live. About 50 homes in the town and every single one had damage. Many were damaged beyond repair. Then another one in Rochelle, which is part of the Rockford municipal area. Homes and buildings were damaged there too, but that one was not as severe as the one in Fairdale. The governor is making a visit to assess the damage and declare the counties as disaster areas, which means they will be entitled to federal funds. He is also giving $100,000 individually (as a contributor- not the state's money) to help, because it will take time for the state to get out there, get set up and start helping people. I bet the president will either come or send someone from his staff to make a visit, too. So if you could say a prayer for the people in Illinois who were affected by these spring storms.

I am fine. The power went out in my building but that happens a lot when the weather is crazy. These are not the kind of April showers I like!

Thank you,
Elyse

I have a freind, sounds just like her. I'll send a prayer for sure but, sometimes a helluva lot more is required if ya know what I mean.

[Catty1]

If she is believing everything he tells her to make the marriage work, that marriage isn't working at all - not by a long shot.

I hope she wakes up soon.

I was honest with her tonight. He supposedly had an almost rent free house for them. He's working in flooring and the boss had a few houses he could trade rent for work. She finally saw the house today or so she said. She wasn't thrilled but they didn't get to move in.

I told her point blank that I didn't' trust her husband and that I thought he made all of that up. They were evicted from their trailer because she was the only one working.

I'm not sure that she believes everything he says, but she wants this to work. So she lies to her friends and family. He's on prescription painkillers, too, and illegally I might add. SIGH.

She won't listen. Even her sister is posting on FB about making decisions and tagging her.

I care about her, but the drama is driving me nuts.

Karen's husband gave an update on Facebook: "So far we know she had a few strokes and her vision and balance is affected. Two vertebrae arteries were completely clogged and resulted in vertebral artery dissection (VAD). So far we just wait and watch to make sure symptoms don't get worse. She is on blood thinners to prevent clotting and is seeing PT and OT for next steps. Pray she doesn't have to go for major surgery."

Prayers for Karen L. and her family.

More prayers for Karen.

I hope the blood thinners do the job and no surgery is needed. I also hope this can be prevented from happening again.

Wishing the best especially for the sake of little Sylvia.
