We learned this week that my husband's mother has stage 4 lung cancer that has already metastasized to her bones. My dad is bleeding internally, has had 5 units of blood this week and we still don't know why or where he is bleeding from.

My friend Chuck, the quadrupalegic you all prayed for last autumn when his internal respirator went bad, was taken to the hospital late this afternoon. The doc suspects pneumonia.
Please remember Chuck and his wife Robyn. Chuck is so fragile and Robyn has many health issues of her own, so any time away from their own home and routine is hard for them both.
I will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

Prayers for Matthew (Jiffy's son) Please? Matthew is having sort of emergency surgery this evening at 6 to have another one of those spots (MRSA aka "hospital staph") removed. this one is about the size of a golf ball and is on the back of his neck at the base of his skull. can you say UGH? I just found out about 3:30, when he did. he called kate, she called me. it was too big for the dr to be willing to mess with it in their office. I'll call someone when he gets out.

thank you all from what we could tell, the surgery was successful, but he now has a hole the size of a ping pong ball in the back of his neck. he went back "home" to the place where he has been staying, and I can't help but feel that your prayers are part of why the surgery was so sucessful so quick. He does have follow up care with the dr. on thursday (tomorrow). the dr was great Now if we can just get his attitude prayed better, we'll be good

Hey guys I need some prayer for my nephew Cory...he got himself into a lot of trouble last night(don't want to go into details really--but it was a major, major mess up) and will probably be sent away to juvenille...he's been on probabtion too so this newest screw-up will really be bad on his record. If you could say a prayer for him and then maybe one tonight around 7pm when he has to go down to the police station.....

loz - I too, and hoping for a good outcome from this difficult ordeal. As everyone else has said here, sometimes it does have to get to this point for things to start turning around - I hope this is as low as it gets for Cory and your family!

I've just learned that my dad stopped breathing, was resuscitated and intubated. He was found to have an acute rapid bleed somewhere in the upper abdomen. I just spoke to him on the phone this morning. He sounded terrible and all he wanted was my mother to get there quickly. I'm flying to NJ tonight. Please pray that he lives until I get there.
