Prayer Request Thread

[Maggie-Doodle]

I am praying for Blake as well as his family and friends. I do hope that he responds well to his treatments soon. Sometimes it is darkest before the dawn. May Gods love be felt not only by Blake but his family and friends as well.

[BlueDogDemocrat]

I have a friend of the family who, to most of our suprise, is struggling with a drug and alcohol addiction. We think it is the biproduct of a very bad relationship. She is a young, bright woman with a bright future ahead of her if she and we can get her past this problem. Right now, everyone is trying to figure out the best course of action for an "intervention."

In the meantime, please pray for this young lady.

[SueScribe]

I have a friend of the family who, to most of our suprise, is struggling with a drug and alcohol addiction. We think it is the biproduct of a very bad relationship.

The bad relationship may have accellerated the problem, but alcohol and drug addition are one and the same creature - not byproducts of anything, except a genetic predisposition blended with poor coping skills, which usually present themselves earlier than being old enough to have a "very bad relationship."

Think back about your friend, how she has always been - perhaps "driven", perhaps prone to mood swings from time to time? Withdrawn over issues which might not have been so drastic, but she withdrew nonetheless? Or - has she always worked REAL real hard at "appearing" normal? Humm?

There is no getting past addiction. It's there for the balance of one's life unless and until the Magic Cure comes along. She'll always need to stay clean and sober. ALWAYS.

Call Pine Belt Mental Health and ask for an "intervention specialist". They'll tell you precisely how it is done and what you and your friends and family can do to help this bright, young woman who - if truly addicted - has but three choices:

1. Sobriety
2. Insanity
3. Death

She, and you and your efforts on her behalf will be in my prayers until you report to us that she's getting help.

Private Mail me if you need to "talk" or ask questions about this difficult situation. Trust me one more time - I'm a certified expert on the issues.

Hubby & I will be flying to New Hampshire in the morning...Please pray that I don't get frighten on the plane. We will be driving back (24-25 hour) drive.

Pray that we don't kill each other...that long in a vehicle together that is.
I hope that he will let me enjoy the drive back & not be in a really big rush to get back home. This will be a semi-vacation for me. We haven't really been anywhere since our honeymoon 6 years ago.:attack:

More info later on what is in NH.

Just pray for us on the trip....:smt023

[countrygirl]

Encourage hubby to take your time coming back home...the leaves should be turning about that time and it should be a beautiful drive...

[XC9]

I will remember you in my prayers Q.M. I fully understand because of my fright of doctors. Good luck to you.

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

I will lift you up in prayers qm

[rileysmom]

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

[Maggie-Doodle]

Prayers have been sent up QM...hope you get to feeling better soon. Keep us posted.

[SouthChic]

QM, I will be praying for you.

[jmb]

QM, I will be praying for both you and your son. :)

This getting older crap isn't all it's cracked up to be, is it? It's hell when we have to cut out our favorite foods to be healthy. Eating is one of the joys of life, but so is breathing.

[dollfus46]

I've not done a great job of taking care of my physical self in the past 2-3 years. It seems there has always been something or someone who needed my attention more. Anyway, I went for my checkup last week only to find that the lack of attention has taken its toll on me. Cholesterol, triglycerides and other blood counts aren't so good - and to top it off, I'm now mildly diabetic. Needless to say, it's a big wake up call for me - and I'm in full gear trying to stop my patterns in their tracks.

My prayer request is this: I've already made major changes in diet and medication. That's difficult in and of itself. And, my doctor is scheduling tests galore one right after the other. I ask that you pray for me during these tests. My big heart scan is Friday a.m. followed by eye exams that afternoon. The heart test will take around 4 hours and will let us know if my bypasses have any blockages. I'm praying that it will show nothing that will require action at this time - other than medication and diet. And, pray for my son - he gets a bit unsettled when there's something wrong with Mom. Many thanks in advance for your prayers - I'll keep you posted.
QM, I just went through what you're about to go through. I asked for prayers too. I was frightened too. As one who knows exactly how you feel, I will pray with all my heart for you. This is NOT the end of the world, okay? If you need to know what to expect, PM me. The tests are a breeze and nothing bad to experience. Okay? I just pray for good results.:smt023
God Bless You
Mike

[OLDLADY]

QM, You and your son are in my thoughts and prayers.

[Elle May]

Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

[Honey]

Just know that before you walk into a room for any test that God entered just prior to you getting there and is waiting for you to arrive, holding your hand as the test is occuring and will walk you back outside to your car. He will drive home with you and He will take away your worry and will watch as you try to sleep and will be there when you get the results. He will celebrate the good news and He will hold onto you in bad news. He will walk with you as you exercise and will sit down with you as you rest. He will be there and He will hold your hand. A promise. If you don't believe me just hold your hand up high and see if He takes hold. I will pray.

[Baloo]

Queen Mother, my thoughts and prayers are with you... I hope that all goes well and that they will find that you are healthy!

[58ford]

Hang in:smt023

[SueScribe]

My prayers are with you, QM. Just hold tight to your faith.

[fuzzis]

I don't pray because I don't believe, but a request from a friend of mine has come along, and since she believes, I would appreciate it you could pray for her and her daughter.

Megan has been ill since birth...a neurological disorder. Yesterday morning, she started having seizures and they couldn't get them to stop without heavily drugging her. They brought her home from the hospital today...all but comatose...because my friend wants her to be at home, surrounded by family and people who love her. She knows Megan won't be with her much longer, but she is praying for one more week. Megan will be two this coming weekend, and it's important to my friend that she makes it to that birthday.

So, if you could pray for Megan...and her momma...I'd be grateful.

[Honey]

Fuzzis,
I will pray for Megan. Starting right now. That is a tough one for parents. I will pray for comfort and support for them from family and friends as they go through this very difficult time. Thank you for sharing.

[Honey]

If you hear something Fuzzis let us know. I can't get them out of my head. I pray the little one is not suffering.

[Maggie-Doodle]

Prayers have gone up for Megan and the whole family. May the Good Lord bless and keep them all. Please keep us posted!

[fuzzis]

If you hear something Fuzzis let us know. I can't get them out of my head. I pray the little one is not suffering.

Prayers have gone up for Megan and the whole family. May the Good Lord bless and keep them all. Please keep us posted!

Got an email from Suzy this morning. Megan is resting easier but is not awake. Suzy says it's a catch-22 because the medications that keep Megan with her destroy her organs. She's just not ready to let go yet. :(

Fuzzis, this is just heartbreaking. Megan and her family are in my prayers. Losing a child, I just can't imagine and my heart goes out to the family.

[Elle May]

Too sad! Prayers for Megan and her family.

[Honey]

Just thinking about you Queen Mother. Did I miss an update on you? Will keep praying till you get good results.

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

megan and her family are in my prayers I can only imagine what they might be going through. My heart aches for them. How heartbreaking...

[SueScribe]

Thank you for your words. And, many thanks to all my friends who are praying for good results.

How are you doing ?

[XC9]

Fuzzis, Megan and her family will also be in my prayers. This is so terribly sad. My thoughts will be with you too girl.

[eyescene]

Prayers going up that Gods will be done and for understanding and peace!!!

[Baloo]

Fuzzis, that is heartbreaking... My thoughts and prayers are with Megan and her family... Thanks for bringing it to our attention on this thread... May the Lord bless and watch over and give comfort and peace to all...

[OLDLADY]

My prayers and thoughts are for Megan and her mom and family. And may they find peace in their hearts at this time.

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

have you been able to find out any results? Did you know you were a diabetic?

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

oh qm I am so sorry to hear that
you take care

[Baloo]

Queen Mother, I am so sorry to hear about that... My hearfelt prayers are with you...

[SueScribe]

I'm asking for prayers for my mother's youngest brother in Tennessee. He'll soon be needing them. The funeral home hand-delivered my Uncle Loyd's death certificate today.

"Failure to Thrive" it states. "Failure to thrive."

Ya'll pray for Warren for me. My mother, if she were still alive, would appreciate it, I'm thinking. Or, maybe not.

[SueScribe]

. . on second thought: Pray for me.

Just wondering, does that mean that your uncle in TN can be charged with neglect? MS has a neglect charge I would think most states do. Prayers go out for all of you....that was such a senseless death.

[eyescene]

No that is not neglect, some of the elderly get or have Failure to thrive (http://www.aafp.org/afp/20040715/343.html), The Doc can call it whatever they want but in reality they are just ready to go.

Some infants are born with Failure to thrive too.

First, thank you for your prayers, all of you.

Secondly, yes - the uncle in Tennessee can and will be charged (if that's a good word) with neglect. In Mississippi, there are more than one option in elder abuse cases, and the option in this case is already in place. It's called a Tort of Outrage. It is my hope than when the Court speaks in this case, the man in Tennessee not only will have not gotten away with conspiring to steal his brother's entire estate but will, in the end, be punitively deprived of one iota of that estate.

Eyescene, you need to run a Google check for elder abuse, failure to thrive, and see what you get. While it is true that the medical terminology is ordinarily used in infant mortality cases, there is a rise in elder abuse cases that result in death from a "failure to thrive." The death certificate in my uncle's case not only shows that as a cause, but two others as well, including a major contributing factor called "subcutaeous (sp) ulcers." That factor is backed up with multiple photographs taken by the doctor's order when my uncle finally arrived back in Mississippi, one month ago today. Basically, my uncle's entire posterior - from shoulders to his heels, were open wounds which involved exposure of the bone, with MRSA, in his right leg.

Abuse? Absolutely. Criminal abuse? My mind says yes, but my heart still refuses to believe. That's what happens when you look into the eyes of someone who is a criminal, and your mother's eyes look back at you.

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

oh sue that is horrible, I am just so glad yall got your uncle when you did. I know you wished you would of had him much sooner. I will be praying for you.

Wow, Sue I really hate that you found your uncle in such bad shape. I never read anything about the bed sores on his body. I don't always read everything posted on MH.

I have seen and taken care of, a lot of bedsores in my 20 years in medicine. And these were, while working @ our local nursing homes. I have seen some bedsores all the way to the bone!! Anyway you look at it it is still neglect.

I wish you peace, wisdom and knowledge on how best to deal with this situation.

[Maggie-Doodle]

Sue, I will continue to pray for you and your family...what a horrible way to die. I have worked many cases of elder abuse in the last 20+ years...I have seen some horrible things....I hope your other uncle gets the max sentence.

IF for some reason he doesn't get it here on earth, rest assured he WILL get it one day....

[jojobeans1120]

One of my closest friends isn't doing so well after having had a hysterectomy. She could really use some prayers. I totally believe in the power of prayer and know that it will mean a lot to both me and her.
During the surgery, they allowed too much air to enter her stomach, punctured her bladder, and now she's trying to develop pneumonia. :cry:
Y'all just please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

[Butterball]

Your friend is now on my 'list', JoJo...........
Prayers works ...... Wonders happen .........
God IS good........ ALL the time ;)

[countrygirl]

I may be calling on some of you "prayer horses" one day, hopefully later rather than sooner. Eldest grandster goes to see his cardiologist in Jackson later this month. He will require more heart surgery...when, we are not sure...The "miracle" surgeon that performed his first surgeries has retired and we have to find a new one.

[lwood]

For you guys that have been praying for Blake Simon his brother told me tonight that he is now in REMISSION, great news for all, GOD is a way maker!!!!

Continue to pray for him and his family, Praise the Lord!!

[lwood]

I would like for everyone to pray for me, my sickness is getting worse and the doctors can still not take the tumor out because it is to small, but is causing me a lot of pain. Pray for my nephew also he has a ADHD with Bipolar and Asperger's and he is driving me out of my mind but I love him, he is very depressed I think from my irritation.

[lwood]

Will call Megan and her family before the Lord everyday, this is going to be rough for them we need to pray like it is our child.

lwood, I will pray for you too. Do Docs have to wait for tumor to grow before surgery?

Lwood, you and your nephew are on my prayer list. It's so difficult to sustain hope when it feels as if the notion is collapsing in your face. I'm so sorry about your pain, the difficulties you're facing. Know that you are loved by the Almighty, always, and keep your grasp tight on your faith. There is a reason for your, and your nephew's, trying times - maybe it's impossible right now to see or understand it, but one day you will. Just . . hold on.

lwood I understand....I have a cyst inside my spinal cord, that they could not remove, but they drained it with a shunt...You are in my prayers and so is your family. I understand pain!

So where is your pain at with that kinda tumor?

[cubby 1]

Hey guys,

Mom's back in the hospital. Good thoughts and prayers are really needed right now.

Thanks in advance,

Cubby

You got it Chubby...I missed or forgot but whats wrong with Mom? Wasn't it her heart?

[cubby 1]

You got it Chubby...I missed or forgot but whats wrong with Mom? Wasn't it her heart?

She suffers from Multiple Sclerosis... sometimes she gets where she can't move at all, which is what is happening now.... She also has something going on with her brain, and is very confused about lots of things. Its just really hard to watch.

[eyescene]

Oh I know MS very well I took care of Fay Ann Quiggly in Hattiesburg. She was the daughter of Millard Quiggly one of the owners of Qiggley Moore Funeral home. You are so right it is hard to watch.:smt009

"To me" when the brain gets confused it is Gods way of helping them to deal with whats happening to there bodys. Not knowing whats happening to them can be a blessing, especially if you are young.

Cubby I' so sorry! Here's a hug....:bhug::grouphug::smt056

So where is your pain at with that kinda tumor?

I have been going to Jackson for 2 years and all they do is treat me for pain and my now crazy mind and keep measuring the tumor,cyst,mass or whatever word they want to use that day, and continue to say "you are a high risk".....It is in the bend of my right leg (groin area) and the pain radiates to my leg across my stomach and into my right side and back area, a lot of days I am in bed and some days I can not walk and other days I am sick from the meds, But today the meds did not make me sick and I was able to walk with minimal pain and a limp so my husband and I went out to eat. Good day it was a good day.:clap:

[eyescene]

I know what you mean the use different words with mine too...tumor, cyst...never mass though LOL.

But I'm glad you had a good day. I am also thankful to the good Lord that mine is not as bad as some...that are in wheelchairs.

I wish you the best....and if they could get in there and remove or drain....it would so help the pain!

Blessings!

[jojobeans1120]

I want to send a special thanks to everyone that prayed for my friend. She's doing much better and is now HOME!
I was so worried. I had gone to see her, early the morning I had posted, and her lips were a blue/purple color.
Thank God, and those who prayed for her, for His work and presence during her illness.

[Fishing Girl]

Prayer go out to all.

:clap:GOD BLESS US ALL!!!:clap:

[Maggie-Doodle]

Hope you are starting to feel better QM, take it easy and take care of yourself..if you don't there sure isn't anyone else that will do it for you...I found that out long time ago! Prayers going out for both you and your sister...

[BlueDogDemocrat]

well, it's been said a lot, but it is important for folks to know they are being prayed for...

I'm praying for you.

[pinkytuscadero]

I wanted to thank all of you who have continued to pray for my Daddy. He has had good news and is not going to take chemo, at least not now. He had test and the dr. seems to think that the surgery was a success and he won't have to take it for now.

Thank you for the prayers and THANK YOU GOD!:clap:
Pinky

[Maggie-Doodle]

Great news Pinky...prayers will continue for his health to improve without chemo..keep us posted!

[XC9]

I am glad y'all that said you are having a good day are having a good one. I want everyone to know that I just automatically consider the people I don't even know on here to be a friend of mine too. Many I don't know, didn't know I knew, and those I did know helped me through my hubbys 2 cancer surgeries by praying and writing positive things on here for me. It helped so much, and I still thank each of you for your concern. I always read this topic on here so I can pray for those needing prayers. I may not respond personally, but you can bet I do pray for ALL who ask. God bless all of you and may we all continue to pray for each other. We have a great group here and I appreciate each and every one of y'all.

[Petal4Life]

My daughter (10 yrs) and her two friends (10 yrs) were out climing a tree today. One they have climbed several times. One of her friends feel out of the tree. They were up about 15-20 feet. She lost traction and feel. She hit a branch, but it gave way. She landed on her side. She was taken to Forest General hospital via ambulance. I just found out that they have taken the mother and her via ambualnce to Jackson. She has broken her pelvis and FG does not have a pediatric surgeon.

Please pray that she makes a full recovery and that her parents can find a way to pay for the medical bills as they do not have insurance and struggle to make ends meet.

[pinkytuscadero]

Prayers going up for your daughter's friend, Petal4life. Did this happen at her house?

Pinky

[Hermione]

Maybe at UMC she can be a "teaching patient" and that will lessen the impact of the bills. In the meantime, of course we'll pray for her.

[Scarlett O'Hara]

a prayer from me, also

[Petal4Life]

I will let the mother know this.

[Petal4Life]

No, it happened at the old Kiwana's Club in Petal. They did not have permission to be on the tree. They have climbed on it for over a year.

[Maggie-Doodle]

Prayers have been sent, please keep us posted on her condition.

[countrygirl]

My eldest grandster goes to UMC tomorrow for his yearly checkup with his pediatric cardiologist. We will find out how his repair from earlier surgeries is holding up...He has a pig valve and some other components that do not grow as he grows, so at some point his repair will have to be taken down and redone. Your prayers would be appreciated....the longer we can wait to do his next surgery, the better off he will be. He's really a great kid, and to look at him, you would not know what he has been through because he seems so "normal". Also, the surgeon that did his first repairs has retired, and when the next surgery becomes necessary, we will have to find a new surgeon. Mississippi does not have a surgeon that can do this repair. Say a prayer that we choose the right hospital and surgeon when it becomes necessary.

A note on an earlier comment. All patients at UMC are actually teaching patients. Social workers will help to see what aid you may qualify for if you do not have insurance and cannot afford care....medicaid, ect. I do know that my grandson's cardiologist sees medicaid patients and "insurance" patients in a different part of the hospital. It is really a great place if you have a seriously ill patient. Most of the doctors there have no qualms about referring their pediatric patients to major medical centers if there is a problem they cannot handle. You cannot worry about the money in situations like this....the good Lord has a way of taking care of things if you put your trust in Him.

[pinkytuscadero]

countrygirl, I will pray for your g-baby! What a tough little guy.

Thank you so much for giving the correct information! I used to work in a pediatrics residency program at a medical school (in another state) and didn't know how that actually worked here.
Your baby is in my prayers.

I hope I have given the correct info. It is all sooo confusing. I do know that my grandson had insurance...he could have also qualified for medicaid if we had applied BEFORE he left the hospital the first time...but we didn't, and I'm kind of glad. I think the rules have change somewhat since he was born, but I do know of some folks that were sent away from local hospitals in the past because they were medicaid patients. Seems so strange...I do know that my grandson's cardiologist sees medicaid patients and insurance patients in a different area of the hospital.
By the way, he's not a baby anymore...he's 9 now. He had 4 surgeries before he was two. I do know that you can't worry about the money when it comes to your child's life. God always seems to provide a way...

The Grandster had his cardiology appointment and things are still looking good. He will go back next July, probably for a cath. The doctor said that his next surgery was probably 2 years away. We also found out that UMC has a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon that may be able to do the repair. It seems that he is getting the same results as Boston on this particular repair. That is really good news. It would be great if we didn't have to travel so far to get the next ones done. UMC really has some great doctors for children, but it is still necessary to send them to the larger centers for some problems.
Thanks for your prayers.. I know from experience that they work.

Please be in prayer for my dad...he will be having eye surgery in the morning. He is getting to that age where he is falling apart, but for an old man he does good. HA HA HA:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Fishing girl, how is your dad? I hope all went well.

I would like to ask everyone to pray for my son and his buddies as they travel to the mountians. I think they will end up in SC. But with my son you never know what he will do. I asked him to not jump off the waterfalls because the water level is so low. I don't know if they took the kayaks or not. I forgot to look outback. But my biggest fear is they will find the hang gliding place I saw last week. Yep, he'd do that in a heartbeat. I didn't tell him not to because he might not know it is there. They will be camping in the tent and eating who knows what. At least I know he took soap because I made sure of that. Of course he has probably lost it by now. I hope the weather will be good for them. I also forgot to mention don't play with the bears. He would. Honestly that child is putting nails in my coffin as we speak.

Please also pray for Elle May and Hawkeye as they travel. And for Berth to keep all her parts on.

Ya'll pray for our pups, they have to be put to sleep (temporarily) to get their teeth cleaned...and I ain't trying to pull an Ellen Degeneres here cause yeah I know they are just dogs but if something happened to them while they were under the knife It would be almost like losing children...you dog lovers understand.

Fur babies deserve our prayers too! They have a heart and feelings just like we do and they have more love to give then alot of people I know. Prayers are going up for you and them..keep us posted on how they do.

My little doggy is just like a child to me...I tell her "you are momma's little girl!" :) She probably gets told how much she is loved more than alot of kids do.

Son and his friends made it home safely this morning. Thanks to everyone who remembered to pray for their safe traveling.

BDD-how is the pups doing?

Queen Mother are you still doing okay?

Pray for our Southern Miss team to get to Marshall today and back safely late tomorrow night after the game. Bonnie Blue #2 (cheerleader) is flying with the team and I'm always on edge.

Just got a text from my daughter.........I don't know any details yet but she said it was the scariest trip of her life. At one point everyone was yelling and in her words, "I thought I was a goner," but they did land safely and she said she would call when she got to the hotel.
