Requests for Prayers/Good Thoughts

[BeneathMyWillowTree]

Muchas gracias Deb! Mad love to you girl! Hey I went to one of God's cribs today to say hello and well I had a chat with Him about you. You see how I do it!

There's been a huge explosion in San Bruno, CA, less than 5 miles from my house. They think it's a natural gas line that exploded. An entire neighborhood is on fire, and the flames are too hot for emergency vehicles to go in and help. I don't know anyone who lives in that area, but it is close to home, so please, if you can, send some thoughts and prayers to the Bay.

[Guest]

Dear Foo,
Thank you for this notification. Prayers and angelic energies are being sent to Santa Bruno at once.

Love and light,

Vi'

Foo - I heard a story about it on NPR and it sounds horrible. I've been praying throughout the day.

Thanks guys. Looks like 38 homes were reduced to nothing, and more are severely damaged. There's been a great outpouring of help from people in the community, which was such a great thing to see. There was a need for infant/children's clothing, so we went and donated about 30 of Madison's outfits that she had outgrown, some of which she never even wore. It's sad to see such devestation in your own backyard.

Foo When we saw it we could not get our minds around it as it was that terrifying. Our hearts and thoughts went straight to you all the family's close that nightmare.

My mom has her knee replacement surgery today, and she's really scared. If you're so inclined, send some happy thoughts our way.

Thanks.

May your mother be blessed with miraculous healings Diane.

Peace & much love,

My late partner had three (yes, 3!) knee replacement surgeries. All were successful; she only had to have the first one redone because the artificial knee exceeded its predicted useful life. Yes, they were moderately painful, but with careful attention to physical therapy, she was able to regain full, comfortable use of both knees.

Please give your mother my best wishes for quick, effective recovery, and take her on a hike when she's ready!

My mother was diagnosed with cancer in the uterus and it´s spreading fast. Tomorrow, she will do more tests to see if chemotherapy is available in her case and when the surgery will be done... please pray for good news...

Sending Prayers and Good Thoughts to you.

My father has just been admitted to the hospital. I know very little about what's going on. He, his wife, and her daughter were in FL. He went to the ER there and they said he had a cyst on his liver but he refused to be admitted there. They drove home, to Pennsylvania, and he saw his dr. today. My step-brother called my sister who texted me and said he's been admitted. So I know very little but I'm praying for him and for my step-mother.

Any thoughts you can send would be appreciated.

[Willowtree252]

Sandi and. My thoughts are with you Deb!

[SJ]

Sending thoughts too.

[JujuDeRoussie]

I send my thoughts your way, Deb.

[Nue]

sending good thoughts, Deb...


the doctors will decide today about mother´s treatment... they will decide on surgery or chemotherapy...

[JustSkipIt]

Thank you to everyone who is sending positive thoughts and prayers. The update is that we still don't know much. They removed a large cyst from my father and put in a drain. Then they sent him home from the hospital after 3 days. Now he's at home and a nurse comes daily to empty the drain and give him more pain meds. Yesterday they took out the drain. He said he's very tired and not hungry but he actually left the house today. But the doctors have no idea what's wrong. The results of the biopsy aren't back and they just don't know.

Especially sad is that my nephew (my father's first grandhild) is being Bar Mitzvahed this weekend in Houston and my father will not be able to travel to the event. He is very sad to miss this huge event and the chance to see all his kids and all but one grandchild plus cousins etc.

Anyway, thanks to everyone.

Nue - I hope the results and decisions are good ones.

Dorothy,

Big hug heading your way. Glad you have fantastic dreams, sorry about the angst. Maybe we are your someones right now helping. (reference to your signature)

For what it's worth, I made it through an alcoholic Dad w/ some rage issues and inappropriate behavior towards me (no more details needed, I think we all get the drift)

I really related to Tara's "demon secret" because I used to feel damaged and worthless, compared to other girls.

I won't say I'm a flaming success in life, but I love and am loved. I have a job and am mainly healthy. I laugh and wake up glad to be riding planet earth.

If you can get your sister to a support group, Alateen or whatever is appropriate, it might help. You may also want to discuss her situation with a school counselor. I'm taking a shot in the dark here, but want to help so badly that I'm coming up with everything I can think of! I also know, from PM's with other kittens, that a lot of us have gone through some tough stuff and come out the other side.

She is loved by you and our hearts go out to her as well. Share this with her if it seems helpful; your judgment rules on what is appropriate to communicate.

Thank YOU for your unfailing love and caring. *Hug* your way!!!!!!

Take care,

Ariel

I found out last night that my little sister's condition is a lot worse than I thought. Turns out her migraines are worse than ever, almost 24 hours a day now, and the neurosurgeon doesn't want to drain the cyst because it would most likely lead to months of intense rehab, months of missed school, and she might not even be able to talk right afterward (whether temporarily or for good I'm not quite sure on). Removing the cyst all together is too dangerous, though whether because it might kill her or simply cause permanent damage I don't know. My sister's psychiatrist wants her to get a second opinion, I guess because he doesn't think the current situation is sustainable, so hopefully we'll get a little better news from a different doctor, though I don't think there are any good options at this point.

Anyway, she could really use some good thoughts. She's my sister and I love her and I'm scared, and I'd really appreciate any positive energy that could be sent her way.

[Nue]

Jas, I´m sending positive energy for you and your sister ^^

[Ariel]

Sending good energy to JustSkipIt and Jas,

Warm golden hope, asking for strength and health for sister and Dad.

*hugs* to each of you and the ones you love going through this very tough time.

Been through the cancer thing, glad to say I'm in complete remission and have been for some time.

Remember to take care of yourselves so that you have the strength to be there for everyone else; classic rule of care-giving.

My sis finally got a second opinion, and things are looking much more hopefully now. She's scheduled for surgery on the 3rd, and even though the new neurosurgeon is very confident and expects a quick recovery with no brain damage we're all pretty terrified. Anyway, my sister's 17 and she's been through hell in the last year and a half and she's having brain surgery and she could use all the good vibes she can get. She's an amazing person and she deserves to be okay and not hurt 24/7 anymore.

[JustSkipIt]

Jas that sounds like a little good news anyway. I'll be keeping her in my prayers for a good recovery.

[SJ]

Sending good vibes.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Thank you both, it's very much appreciated.

[sweet satin lover]

Sending good energy to everyone who needs it especially my Tex Pea Jas and to her sister Rocky, I can understand how you must be feeling I am here for you whenever you need me and I love you loads sending Rocky lots of healing energy and good thoughts and I really hope this will make things improve for her and I also hope that your worries will be less as well always here for you, you are a good person and dont need or deserve the stress and your sister doesnt deserve bad things either. much love xxxx

[BeneathMyWillowTree]

Jas sending good vibes fosho! Hey I know it's easier said then done but no worries. A friend of mine went through brain surgery and kicked ass. I have no doubt that your sister will do the same.

[JustSkipIt]

I've been praying for Peace in Egypt, Lybia, etc.

[KiWy]

The situation in Middle East is critical and beautiful at the same time, since freedom finally settles on the land of the tirans. But in all this movement, in Lebanon, things are not doing good, Israel and Syria both have expressed thoughts about invading us again.
I am just hoping, praying, that we will be safe, that the war won't fall down on us again, and that my family, friends and my people will be alright.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

My sister's surgery was this morning, it went well and she's in recovery. I should be able to see her tomorrow.
Thank you all so much for the good thoughts.
