Conservative Christianity Prayer Thread

[Criada]

Hi folks. I just wanted to update you on Nick (the boy in the coma).

They took him off ventilators today, and he passed away 20 minutes later. He was only 17. Today is going to be a very difficult day at school. I work at my daughter's high school, and this boy was very well-liked. He leaves behind a twin brother and his parents. I pray that this family finds some peace down the road, and I am asking that we all pray that they are able to make it through this nightmare with the help of God's love.

Praying for them all.

Hubby woke up with pain in his chest again this morning. We don't think it's serious, but the doctor just called us back, and I'll be taking him to the ER in a minute just to be on the safe side of things. Please do me a favor and say a quick prayer the this is nothing serious! (He did quit smoking 2 months ago, so we are hoping it's just something related to his quitting, but it is rather odd because he didn't have the pain BEFORE he quit! ).

Ok, I'm just waiting for him to get dressed, so I probably won't be able to reply to this! Thanks everyone! I will post when we return just to let everyone know what's up... Thank you!

Oh, sweetie, I'm praying right now, and will continue to do so throughout the morning. Keep us updated.

Thank you so much for all your prayers... I have good news & bad news... but mostly good news all things considered!

They assumed it was his heart when we got to the ER as protocol of course with chest pains. ( He will be 37 soon, so young, but it's not unheard of!). He said it felt like there was a 20lb. weight on his chest, but he was not having any trouble breathing. (A word of warning to you guys out there! PLEASE don't try to be so dang BRAVE!!! My hubby was in pain for the last 4-5 days and brushed it off before this morning when it got a lot worse and it finally prompted him to call the doctor who said get to the ER RIGHT AWAY! )

OK, so they hook him up to all the machines, put in an IV, ran an EKG, chest films, and took a whole mess of blood for every test under the sun it seemed!!! The EKG came back normal, but the doctor was still concerned that he may have had a mild heart attack so we had to wait for the blood tests to rule that out.

About an hour later the doctor came back in and said that the results of the blood tests were in and that my husband has Pancreatitis. The levels aren't astronomical, and he is only having a couple symptoms right now, so they are unsure of what is causing it.

They then took him for a CT scan to take a look at the pancreas itself... It is not displacing any organs, so if it is swelling it's minor at this point. Since my husband doesn't drink at all the doctor is thinking this MAY be a virus or something which would be the best case scenario at this point (80% of cases of pancreatitis occur due to heavy drinking/alcoholism and in those cases it is NOT a good prognosis as it's sort of like Cirrhosis of the Liver... ).

OK, so since his levels were not astronomically high, and since he wasn't in a tremendous amount of pain, no fever, chills, etc.. they let him come home tonight as long as he promised not to eat anything fatty or salty right now.

He will return to the hospital ASAP if the symptoms worsen or if he develops any kind of a fever, chills, or a couple other things I can't recall right now (Have to check that discharge sheet once I'm done with this post! ).

Tomorrow morning the internist that is filling in for our regular doctor will be calling us to tell us when to come in to see him tomorrow for more blood tests, as well as some repeat tests to make sure this is not getting worse. They think he will have to have these daily blood tests for a while until the levels go back to normal. It's kind of a wait and see type thing at this point... We are all hoping he has come through the worst part over the last few days and that this is not the beginning of something more serious.

Thank you for listening to me write all this out -- I know it is long. I think it has helped me right now to be able to write it out and remind myself of the GOOD parts of his diagnosis at this point! He is resting comfortably right now with a prescription for some strong pain killers (the doc didn't believe my husband when he said that the pain was mild, and neither do I!!! Another warning to you men out there -- it's not a good idea to try to "suck it up" because it can cause problems when you keep yourself in pain! It's better to let them help you out with pain so your body can relax and work on healing you!!! OK, this also replies to those tough women out there with a high threshhold for pain -- I guess really it's not just men who do this! It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to telling your doctors how you feel!!!)

Thanks also for letting me vent. I'm trying not to be angry with my husband right now for waiting a week to see the doctor (he did this with his back too!!! ) Anyway, he doesn't need the stress of hearing me complain to him right now, so I really appreciate being able to come here and let my frustration serve as a warning to others!!! Don't be SILLY when you are hurting!!!

OK, well that's all for now. Continued prayers are very much appreciated for my husband's healing and for comfort from our Lord for myself and my daughters -- who are naturally worried about their daddy! (My eldest even called her Grandma while we were gone because she was so worried! She's almost too smart for her own good, and when I called her to let her know we were going to be a longer time at the hospital and I told her what was wrong, she went and looked it up in the Merck Manual and freaked herself out!!! She knows a lot, but not enough sometimes to get the full picture -- so prayers for her are appreciated as well! She did a wonderful job looking after her sisters, and until we know what's up I will need to rely on her a bit to take care of her sisters and such while I take hubby to the doctor's office...)

OK, again I am sorry this post is SO LONG!!! I'll end it here! Thanks for listening everyone!

God bless all of you!

Prayers would be appreciated I am quite emotional at the moment, this is an on-going battle.

On Friday I'm going away on our Church Weekend. It will be lovely to be with friends but I want to meet the Lord in a real way.

Thank you

Praying for you always, sweetie!

And God loves you so very much, however you are feeling.

I feel that we are under spiritual attack right now. GM made a point of this in the staff forum and I think we need to be in prayer as well.

We've been dealing with spiritual darkness on this board for quite some time, but specifically the last month or so. It's tearing us all up and peace is destroyed because of it. I'm sick of it! And the only way to combat it is through prayer. Not just for the few who have been targeted the past week or so...but for every single person here.

Pray for unity. Pray for peace. Pray for deliverance. Pray for us all to show each other love and understanding.

We don't all agree on everything. That's life...go figure! But we do agree on the One who gives us this life. Let's pray.

Father in heaven, I come to you in Jesus name. Lord You know what it is we are battling here today and Lord I know you have already given us victory over it! Thank You for making a way. Thank You for your Grace & Mercy. Thank You for driving away the darkness. Holy Spirit I pray that You would encompass our hearts, melt away the hardness and the unforgiveness. Please help us not to be so critical and ugly towards each other. Give us Your perfect peace that casts out all fear. Thank You Lord that You are in control and have a plan for all of us in our lives. Your an awesome God, I love You! I worship only You Jesus because You are worthy and deserve all Glory and Honor. In Jesus holy and precious name, amen.

 

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

Please add to this prayer if you happen to come in here.

Thanks!

 

[Criada]

Lord, fill us with Your love, for You and for one another.
Show us the meaning of th eministry of recnciliation, Father - let this be known as a place of peace and not of contention.
Give us the discernment to stand against the enemy, not against our brothers and sisters.
And protect this place from attack, Father, hold each one here in Your loving embrace, shelter us from attack, and strengthen us in Your grace.
Thank You for Your incredible love, Lord, thank You for never letting us go whatever the circumstances.
Amen.
