Urgent prayer request
From Snykerz | 07/16/2008 12:56:06 AM PDT

Dearest Prayer Warriors:

It’s been a long time since I have posted here on Freerepublic, but I remember how much you had helped me out with the prayers I had requested for my older sister Sherryl, and she is doing well. Now here I am again asking for your help.

My younger sister “Lori” needs all the prayers that anyone can spare. She was admitted to the hospital ( Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, Ca) a little over a week ago with a kidney infection, which turned into Gram Negative Sepsis with E-Coli, and developed Adult Respiratory Arrest Syndrome. That in it’s self was bad enough, but then on July 12th when they took her off the sedation medication, and she was not responding they sent her for a CAT scan and found that she had had 2 major strokes that affected both sides of her brain. The back of her brain was the part affected and there is still activity in the front of the brain. The doctors told me that if she survives this that she will most likely be paralyzed on both sides of her body with little or no sight.

I am in such a state of shock, and just numb, but cannot and refuse to accept that this is happening to my sister. I am in North Carolina, and being so far away from her makes it even worse, the doctors have told me that even if I were there, there is nothing I could do. Her children and hubby are with her and we are in constant contact. Please pray for Lori, the last I heard tonight was that her vital signs are stable and she responded a bit to stimulation by the nurses and moved her right side.

I have not given up hope or faith... I want her to come home and be whole again. I have called so many prayer lines asking for help because I know the power of prayer. If you know of any prayer line that is international, please let me know. I will forever remember the prayers you sent for “Sherryl” and the power those prayers had, will you please do the same for “Lori”? God Bless you and Thank you for listening to me. Her name is Lori Bruno and she is at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles..ICU.
In Faith,
snykerz

Dearest Pegita,
Thank you so much for letting all the Prayer Warriors know what's going on with my sister Lori. I have been waiting all day for an update and just got off the phone with her oldest son “ Freddie “... He said that there has not been much of a change, BUT she does respond to pin pricks and pinches (which tells me that she has feelings in her limbs and is not brain dead).. her oxygen level is down to 35% compared to 100% she has been on for the last week, and she is breathing a little on her own, her temp is down to 99.7. I told my nephew not to let the doctors discourage him as they have approached him about making arrangements to take her off the ventilator and feeding tube. He said he told the doctors that there is no way they are taking her off of anything, and that we just know that she is going to come out of this. The fact that she is responding to anything at this point is testimony that the prayers are at work and God hears them all. So, please keep the prayers going Lori’s way for a full recovery. I don't know how to respond to each wonderful prayer and email that is being sent, is there a way to let everyone know how she is doing at the same time? instead of trying to answer each one separately? I want to Thank each and everyone of you for your support and prayers, they mean so much. I will keep all of you updated as I hear the news, it’s hard because of the time change as I am 3 hrs ahead of Calif, and waiting for news is so difficult.
May God Bless all of you, you are truly Angels.
Marianne

The latest update I have at this moment, since I spoke with Jon last night, is that Lori has beat the Sepsis! The infection is gone! I am waiting to hear more as it is still early in Calif.. but I am so amazed at the healing that has taken place in such a short period of time, the power of Prayer is amazing. Thank You all so much, please keep the prayers going up for Lori as she not out of the woods yet, but everything looks better with each passing moment. I will update later tonight after Jon calls me and will let everyone know what's going on. They still don't know how much damage was done due to the strokes, so I am praying that she retains her eyesight.
Blessings to all of you
Marianne

Prayer Warrior Alert ~ Lori Update ...

Update on my sister “Lori”... August 16 2008
From Snykerz | 08/16/2008 11:55:11 AM PDT new

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the late update, but I had to take some “Me Time” as my nerves are shot.

Lori is still basically in the same condition as she was since my last update, except that the doctors can now feel a pulse in her right foot, which means that circulation is improving (Praise God!) and hopefully she will just lose the tips of her toes. One of her nurses told me that Lori is starting to get onry (sp) and makes her feelings known when they move her...LOL

I think a surgeon was supposed to evaluate her last night but I haven't heard anything from Jon yet today. As soon as I hear anything I will let you what they have decided to do. God Bless you all, you are such wonderful friends to have, I am truly Blessed to know you.

In Faith
Marianne

PRAISE and PRAYER Warrior Ping ...

Update on “Our Lori” Time for Praise again!!
From Snykerz | 08/19/2008 10:34:26 AM PDT new

I got the call late last night from Jon. The doctors had put a plug in Lori’s Trach collar and she is now breathing on her own through her mouth and nose and is trying to speak words! The speech therapist will be in today to see her. Lori will also hold the crosses that everyone has given her and look at them all until she starts to fall asleep. Jon has put a few drop of pepsi on her lips for her to taste (thats her favorite drink) and she loves it! She is able to swallow, so hopefully they will be able to remove the feeding tube sometime soon!!

Praise Be to the Almighty! Keep the prayers coming, for each day that passes something new and great seems to be happening for “Our Lori”. Bless you all.

With Love in Faith
Marianne
