My son's MRI

November 9 will be Christopher's next MRI and the deciding one on what will be the next course of treatment/action for him. I'm praying for the best possible scenario. His MRI is at 8:00 in the morning, and I have to be there by between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m. I am going to have to take Nicholas with me to the hospital. I've been blessed with a new friend I've gotten who is one of the mothers of a boy who's a classmate of Christopher's (good friend of his), who has volunteered to come by the hospital and take Nicholas to school at the appropriate time since I'll not be able to get away while at the hospital at that time. She also said she'd wait with me through the procedure. I am truly grateful for that. Since her children have been sick all last week, and some over this weekend, I'm hoping they're healthy next week. Poor gal had three kids sick at once with different bugs. Ugh. Anyway, if you all could please keep Christopher in your prayers, I'd appreciate it much. Thanks.

Thank you all!!!

Thank you, Abbot.

Yes, in one called something like "Please pray for my son," that I posted back in mid September from his last MRI, zhilan.

Dang it. I really dread this time before the actual MRI is done. I'm such a basket case and stressed to the gills.

Prayers for you and your son

On nov9 we celebrate Saint Nectarios the Wonderworker!!!
A Great healer of the sick!

Nektarios the Wonderworker, Bishop of Pentapolis

Apolytikion in the First Tone
O faithful, let us honor Nectarios, divine servant of Christ, offspring of Silivria and guardian of Aegina, who in these latter years was manifested as the true friend of virtue. All manner of healing wells forth for those who in piety cry out, "Glory to Christ who glorified you; glory to Him who, through you, wrought wonders; glory to Him who, through you, works healing for all."
Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
In joy, let our hearts praise the latest shining star of the Orthodox, the newly erected rampart of the Church. For, glorified by the work of the Spirit, he abundantly pours forth the grace of healing to those who cry out, "Hail, Father Nectarios".

Yes we do, and I'll be at the hospital at that time or shortly before the DL for St. Necktarios! I was hoping to be there for that considering I'm reading the book about his life! But, I'll be thinking about the service and St. Necktarios throughout the morning!!! I need to learn how to petition him for prayers to God for my son!

Thanks, Mytheodos!!

Thanks, niko!!
