My two pregnant on-line friends need prayers now to deliver their healthy babies. Their names are Dana and Denise.

They both had multiple losses and these babies are their miracles!

Karla is one of my best Spark buddies and can use all of our help right now.

Please read my blog of today and send up a prayer for Shanisha and her family, and our school community.

Thanks

Stopping by to say thank you for the prayers that I've asked for regarding my dad. I think we are finally on a smoother road now with the new assisted living place a week behind us, calmer dad (still gets easily unnerved though) and fewer doctor appointments after this month.

I'd like to acknowledge the members of this team that may be struggling with any number of issues and say a prayer for them. I'd like to also acknowledge the members that can't be with us right now, for reasons only known to them and offer them up a prayer also.

Been praying for my Mom's!

Keep praying. I am at a point I don't know what to think. Still don't have my answer from asst living (that's okay at this moment) but I am not sure I can say yes now as I heard from the doctor and they finally got the stress test results and it is showing significant stress to dad's heart. If it is just a monitoring thing once in awhile we're good to go, but if it is going to need more care/work then he may have to stay where he is. That on top of finding out the care center has classified him as depressed now (did I not tell them this would happen if they didn't give him the anxiety meds?!) so they are starting an antidepressant today. The other thing with all this is I would have to put down $450 to hold the asst living room for 30 days until I would know. Not sure I can do that!

Janet: I will be praying for you, Dad and my friend Jen. She lost those first babies on Christmas. God must bless her as she has been so faithful! Will keep you posted!

The other girl you prayed for is in her third trimester and doing well. I believe she is having a boy.

Christie~Adding my prayers for your friend. IVF is such a stressful thing and then for it not to take.

Please continue praying for the situation with my dad. We will know by Tuesday afternoon whether this particular assisted living place is accepting him. The nurse wanted time to talk with the nurses at the current care center before making her decision. I'm still trusting God that He is working this one out for us, but prayers can't hurt!

Ok...I need some prayers for another lady who is pregnant (third IVF) and needs to keep these babies! She m/c'd the first set of twins and now is pregnant again....please pray that these babies take hold and that she has a wonderful pregnancy. Her name is Jen.

I stepped out in faith today but I know God is providing! I left the care center meeting with the knowledge that dad could move from their facility with 3 days notice. I then stopped at Park Place (Assisted) even though it was late and I knew I needed to get home...God kept nudging. The praise is they are going to assess him on Friday afternoon when I take dad in to see the place and we will know by the time we leave if he's approved there. I'm sure he will be because this has all been from God! The stepping out in faith part is with the Medicaid piece but I know he'll be approved as he easily qualifies. It's just the WHEN of the process that is in question. P. Place told me we would be paying less a day with them than at the care center so I said "YES." Another huge praise in all this...it is rare to find a private room with Medicaid assistance and this one is! Why would I say no when God has supplied everything as it needed to be for my dad at this point?

Thanks for the reminder Janet. These things do sometimes get buried in our busy lives. I really hope the assisted living thing comes through quickly for your dad.

Thanks for the update on Gabe, Lyn.

Thanks for the prayers and the reminders...
I've got you all in mine.

UPdate on Gabe... got a staph infection the week before his sister's wedding, and was hospitalized that weekend. It was very stressfull, but slight blessing as he is a rowdy 3 year old with Downs and his mom said, the only good I can see, is that he is being well cared for (with family support at the hospital) , and I can give my daughter all the attention she deserves on her day with out chasing him.He is fine now as is the big brother.

This has been buried way too long! We've got too many requests!

Pray for Christie and her current job / stress.
Pray for all the other teachers heading back.
Pray for the kids that are heading to school.
Pray for Tracy our sweet leader and her health issues.

Help me out...I know there are more!

For myself.... pray that the Assisted Living for my dad happens soon. Today I actually spoke and toured a place nearby and it is perfect, they have room and I believe they are going to work their end to see if dad qualifies medically. Tomorrow I meet with Medicaid and the current care center staff and am to let them all know this place is my current choice and to work with them.

Hey ladies:
Good news from Cindy, Gabe's mom. HE WAS ABLE TO GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY. He didn't last the whole service, but incredible none the less. Chet is probably in his surgery as I type. She said she would up date me when she had a minute.

Thanks for the prayers.

Just sending out prayers to those who need it.
Well my nephew and BIL are doing fine. BIL has temporary full custody. The have court in 2 weeks. Not sure if that is when they make it final or not. Ex SIL was still trying to play her games, but BIL is keeping her in check!! She is not allowed to see son per court order, but is able to talk to him on the phone. My bil told her every conversation will be taped and monitored. She has only called ONCE!!
says alot about her!!
Ok prayers again and thanks for all the prayers for my fam. Lets keep it up chickies.

Lu

She's really got her hands full, doesn't she? Continued prayers for the family.

God is so good! Thanking Him for Gabe's coming home! Prayers for older brother and Cindy.

Just a last update to let you know that Little Gabe is set for a cardiac ultrasound tomorrow morning, and then they anticipate discharge already. His mom thanks all her family and friend and their prayer circles (I guess that's us!) for what she can only describe as his miraculous recovery.

Keep the family in your prayers for two more days if you can, Gabes older brother Chet, 20, is having sinus surgery on Monday. I am so glad I am not Cindy.

Thanks everyone for your prayers on their behalf.

Continued prayers that Gabe makes a complete recovery.

oh thank you for the update. pls keep us informed and let her know our thoughts are with her.

In her blog, Gabe's mom has announced that he has come through surgery as well as could be expected. That is good news. I will let you know more, as I do. Thanks so much for your prayers. I know they were felt and seem to be answered.
Lynn

I'm a little late answering this, but Gabe and his family are in our prayers.

Just checked this thread this morning. I am praying too.

Pls let your friend know we are all thinking about her.

Will do! Amazing how common that surgery has become on little ones.

thoughts and prayers to little Gabe and his family, Lynn..

Okay my prayer warrior friends,
You may remember me telling you about my friend's son and the postponed heart surgery. (They thought there was 1 hole there are at least 5.)Little Gabe (3)is having his open heart surgery tomorrow, Thursday at 8am. I "told" his mom,Cindy, we were praying for him and it really lifted her spirits!
Please keep them in your prayers in a special way tonight and tomorrow.
Thanks

Thanks for all the prayers. Everyone's home and doing well.

I too am praying for your nephew and his parents.

oh that poor family..it's always something, isn't it?? Prayers are on their way for them.. Keep us posted, Sue!

Mommies - my nephew and sister-in-law need your prayers urgently. When they circumcised my nephew yesterday he wouldn't stop bleeding. He was transported to one of the children's hospitals in St. Louis and has had a couple of transfusions of platelets. The numbers still aren't good, plus he's ripped out the IV from his head and they have to take him into surgery to put one into his umbilical cord.

Also, my sister-in-law didn't get an episiotomy (sp?) and tore some. Now the stitches have either dissolved or come out and she's bleeding pretty badly. She goes back to the Dr. tomorrow. In the meantime she and my BIL are living in the hospital.

All prayers and good thoughts are desperately needed.

Will be praying!

thoughts and prayers to Gabe and his mom and their whole family, and to all our moms and theirs in need..

Just heard from Gabe's mom. Get this... his open heart surgery is on July 16th at 8am. ... and his big brother Chet is having a surgery July 20th. Chet is 19 or 20, a student athlete who has been very sick w/high fever, sinus problems and more they can't figure out for three weeks. Chet will have sinus surgery on July 20th.

Cindy, my friend the mom, just sent two exchange students she was very attached to back home, and is also helping her daughter plan her Aug. 24th wedding.

Please pray for Cindy,her boys and her family, I think I would be going crazy!

PS LU still thinking of your nephew!

Remember that there is nothing too hard for OUR GOD. Speak to that problem and believe that the problem isn't big but that our God is! Dear Father, please continue to order the steps of those that believe and encourage their souls with saints in their paths, In His Name!!

Finally, your TESTamony starts with a test!

Praying for all our needs!

Thanks girls
Janet, they have been in and out of court etc. I don't know how she manages to get out of these things, It gets so close where you think he could get full custody and then she retracts things and then the process ends or somehting. I don't even know if i am getting the full story. I just want the best for my nephew, he is only seven. How much more mental damage can he withstand. What kind of person will he grow up to be etc. It kills me.
thanks again
Lu

Lu...this thread is for all of that....explain as much as you can...but boy you need Super Prayers for this. Please keep us posted.

I'm still praying.

The prayers are coming to all in need.. keep us in the loop everyone!

Lu~Has he ever notified the authorities to get a paper trail going on her? Just curious.

thanks for all the support and prayers. They are gonna need it because the vicious cycle has already begun....EX SIL tries to retract everything she says
and weasels her way out of things, and BIL usually caves for some reason,. Lets hope he sticks to his guns this time.
Prayers out to Gabe and family
also prayers to everyone else
Lu

Just read an email from Gabe's mom, Cindy. His surgery will either be scheduled in the end of July or September. Depending on how some test or other. Please keep them in your prayers as Gabe's big sister is to be married on August 24th. That family has a lot going on!

Cindy said thank you (and your friends) for your prayers "I covet them."

I thank you, too.

Lu-
Not too much, just too sad. I will pray for your nephew and your whole family that your exSIL has a window of sanity large enough to see that
her son needs stability she doesn't currently possess.

I'm so sorry for him and all of you, of course you had to share.
hugs,
Lynn

Lu~Never feel badly for "taking up space" around here! Sometimes our requests need more words and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! What a sad situation for everyone. Big hugs!

Prayers to your family, Lu, that this gets resolved quickly and your nephew is safe with his dad. Such a sorry situation..

And prayers to all our other moms in need and their intentions..

I haven't posted here before but I do read through all the post. Lu, this one has really touched my heart for some reason. Of course I will keep this innocent child in my thoughts and prayers along with the other requests.
