Requests for Prayers/Good Thoughts

[JustSkipIt]

SJ - I just saw this. I am so sorry for your loss.



My nephew is waiting to be admitted to the hospital, probably for an appendectomy.

[SJ]

Thanks Deb.
Sending good thoughts to your Nephew.

It might not be my place to post this but Shel is in the hospital. I'm sure she appreciates any prayers.

It might not be my place to post this but Shel is in the hospital. I'm sure she appreciates any prayers.

Thanks Deb, much appreciated. I'm fine, nothing too serious. I just needed some IV meds for a wacky bacterial infection. Hopefully I get paroled tomorrow.

Hi,

Hey, I'm looking at an operation . . . gall bladder surgery. Nothing romantic or dramatic but I'm a little nervous about it.

Any good thoughts or prayers or witchy-magic are welcome! And special hugs back to Allie, Brad, Clare, Kate, Lexi, Richard, Rick and Shelby for their questions and caring. It means a lot.

Thanks, so glad I'm part of this community!

Julie,
Here's hoping your surgery goes well, and that you're reasonably comfortable between now and then.

Many hugs (the friendly kind that don't involve your Kate kicking my ass).

Kate

[SJ]

Sending good thoughts your way-hope your surgery goes well.

[JustSkipIt]

Julie - I am thinking of you and hope all goes well.

[Ariel]

Hey, Deb and Kate and SJ - thanks so much!!!

It went well. They said to wait a week at least but I was back at work in four days! Great recovery!

And your kind wishes and good energy definitely helped!!!

Really, I'm so grateful - meant more than I can say.

Take care you guys and thanks again.

Please share any thoughts/prayers for our friends Chuck and Jenni and their newborn Lucy. Lucy was born this morning by emergency c section. She has been airlifted to a different hospital and ibtubated in NICU. They have removed the tube now but she is not doing well. Jenni has not woken up from the general anesthetic yet.

Thanks

[Ariel]

Done . . . and love for Lucy's parents and for strength to deal with so much fear and pain . . . It is so much easier to take pain yourself than see your baby or child suffer.

I often pray for those in this thread even when I don't actually post about it, but all my prayers are with Baby Lucy and her family.

[SJ]

Prayers for Lucy and her Family.

[JustSkipIt]

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. An update: Lucy is still in NICU. She had 3 days of "cold therapy" which basically is like freezing you and letting all the energy go to your brain. She came off that yesterday. Jenni was released from the hospital yesterday and has gotten to even hold Lucy. Tomorrow she can try to breasfeed and Lucy will have an MRI in 3 days. So much is not known. Some will not be known for many years. My SIL who is a Nurse Practitioner said that Lucy may be perfectly fine or she may have developmental delays. Some of those may be apparent immediately but some may not be seen for years. I continue to pray for the family.

[JustSkipIt]

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts for our friend, Baby Lucy. She is home from the hospital and her follow-up EEG and MRI have both been normal which is very incredible. She will have many follow-up appointments for months and years but right now she is a beautiful and wonderful blessing. Thank you, everyone!

2 requests today.

1. I went to the capitol to get some french fries the other day. Ran into a mother who shared our adoption hearing with us (she and her partner were completing their 2nd parent adoption the same day). She works in our complex. She asked how were the kids. I asked how was hers. Her daughter has leukemia. Apparently it's in remission but she will be in treatment another 2+ years. Please pray for Lenox.

2. Rachel called today to say that her sister-in-law was just diagnosed with colon cancer. I don't know any more details because it's been a crazy day and we have not had 5 minutes to talk (literally). Please sent healing thoughts to Michelle and her family.

Thanks everyone.

Please love those around you and be grateful for all your blessings.

[SJ]

Prayers for Lenox and healing thoughts to Michelle and her Family.

I would imagine the survivor is in need of positive vibes.

Pray for peace. Pray for healing. Pray for compassion. Pray for health. Pray for safety.

Give thanks for all you have and all you love.

My friend Teddy's cancer is back and it spread. He's going into a chemo treatment the nex six months, in quarantine. But the chance that it will make any difference is practically nothing, but he is just holding on to the last straw there is. He might never come out of there again and it's fucked up!

Prayers and good thoughts is the only thing and probably the last thing I can give to him. He's is giving a 'goodbye' party tonight, and that might as well the last time I see him and I just can't stop crying..

[JustSkipIt]

T.G.I.F. - I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain. My thoughts are with you, your friend, and his father.

[SJ]

Sending prayers and good thoughts.

Some positive vibes are needed for a friend of mine that was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. She posted this today, "No news yet, other than two tumors in each breast and shit loads of other suspicious masses in other areas of my body. Yes, this is going to be boat loads of f*cking fun."

Breast cancer sucks.

[SJ]

Sending positive vibes to your friend.

[Laragh]

Breast cancer's in my family too, sending lots of good energy.

[JustSkipIt]

Shelby - I bought will be praying for your friend and her family.

Dunno if this is the place to put this:

On Sunday, a private screening of a documentary highlighting the daily lives of Gay/Bi/Trans people in my particular christian denomination and the types of decisions/trials they face will be shown. It's an invite only thing, and afterwards there's a discussion/debate between the filmmakers and several pastors from the area who were invited to watch.

My youth pastor was one of the ones invited, and he was given special permission to bring along 3 more people to watch/participate. I was one of the three teenagers chosen. On Sunday, there is an opportunity to educate and maybe even change someone's world. Yet on the other hand, on Sunday my legitimacy as a person of faith will be questioned because of my sexuality.

I'm so nervous I started smoking again.

I ask that your prayers/good thoughts be that I can be a good example, say what needs to be said, and to stay my tongue when needed.
And also that I stop smoking.

[JustSkipIt]

My thoughts are with you and I believe that by asking for the help as you do, you automatically move toward a space of help, love, and openness.

Whelp, back again. I got a flight tonight, leaving the country to study abroad. Please pray for me to stay safe, study hard, and make good decisions.
