My sister and her son need the FR Prayer Warriors. My nephew is 24 years old and needs your prayers. Here is an email I received from another sister:
Chris is very ill and needs to be added to your prayer lists. He has spent months dealing with bleeding ulcers that have never properly healed. He spent last evening in the ER but they eventually turned him away and said there was nothing they could do for him. He can't get in to see his doctor until next Tuesday and is in an extreme amount of pain. He took a lab test yesterday for his gall bladder, but no results until next week. Pain medication isn't helping much and he's not sleeping or eating. He's lost a tremendous amount of weight. This morning, Chris was delivering a car for his job and ran up onto a sidewalk. He's passed out twice now at work. Jeanne's (my sister)neighbor picked him up and took him home. Jeanne has a flight out tomorrow morning to be with Chris. Jeanne has applied for Chris to see the doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. This is normally a long process for approval...PRAY THAT THIS WILL BE EXPEDITED. Chris is about to give up because the pain is so intense and no relief in sight. Jeanne is very fragile and extremely stressed out. She has been dealing with family illness for so long and she just can't cut a break. Pray for her continued patience and ability to deal with all of the negative energies around her.
DONE!
Prayer Warriors...Chris needs your prayers!!!!
Please address your posts to Auntbee....
Thanks, everyone.
Prayer bump.
(Romans 10:17)
Let me add a few more prayer warriors to this list...
My prayers are with him.
Prayers up.
I hope G-d heals him.
Prayers sent!
Prayers for Chris and the family. God, please keep this family extra close in your care, give them strength, healing and lift them up in a mighty way, to know that you are with them and that all things are possible through you. Amen.
My brother recently had emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer. It was a horrible experience. I'm just grateful that they finally doped him up so much that he can't remember the pain that he was in while the emergency room was trying to decide what the problem was. Prayers for your sister and nephew.
Prayers rising!
I will pray for Chris. My 20-year-old daughter has been having medical problems now for 2 years and they have also involved the gall bladder. Her tests turned up normal, but we fortunately had a persistent doctor. It wasn't until they did a nuclear scan that we discover she had biliary dyskinesis which involves the improper functioning of CCK, a peptide hormone. Many of her medical problems involves hormones, so I'm convinced its either her thyroid or pituary that is not working properly. All this just to say that I pray Jeanne can stick with him through this and insist that the right diagnostic tests are done. And just because the GB tests come back negative doesn't mean there's no gall bladder problems. Chris must be very frustrated and frightened. God bless him.
Please keep us updated on this, and let Chris know that we're all pulling for him. I'm sure this will be taken care of -- and he can only keep his sanity by being patient and courageous.
But I have to say: if Chris is passing out from this, the docs are guilty of malpractice. "Nothing they can do" my foot. "Can't see you 'til Tuesday" my @$$.
Somebody (you?) has got to grab the docs by the nostrils and explain to them the facts of the case, or find a doctor who can work with him right away. This does not sound like a "wait and see" sort of problem.
Thank you all for your prayers. As soon as I hear something I will update.
Done!
I hope he can recover.
Prayers for God's healing for these suffering souls.
My sister and I live in Kansas City and Chris lives in Florida, where my sister is heading now. Hopefully she will get things rolling there.

Praying for your sister and nephew.
I pray that the Lord will heal Chris and give both him and Jeanne the strength to get through this hard time.
Prayers from Nevada...
And somebody light a fire under those doctors!
Your family and you have my prayers. Let us know when they are well.
Jesus, hear the prayers of your faithful people who call upon your infinite mercy for healing for Chris. Take away his pain and his suffering. Send your angels to be with him and to surround his familiy and physicians. Give Chris your peace and help him to know that through his pain you have brought many people together to pray for him. My heart is lifted up by being able to pray for a young man in need of your healing, Physician. With our faith as small as mustard seeds, we ask you to heal Chris. Amen.
It sounds to me like Chris needs a healthy adult there who can serve as an intermediary with the medical professionals who are treating him -- they may not even know the exact extent of his subsequent problems. It's good to hear his mother is on her way down there.
I'm not a doctor, but it sounds to me (if my experience is any indication) that his "passing out" is related to his overall state of physical exhaustion and is not being directly caused by whatever it is that's afflicting him. I'm hoping he'll improve slightly just by having someone around to look after him while the medical tests, treatements, etc. move forward.
Prayers have been sent for Chris and all of his loved ones. May God comfort them and guide the doctor's so that they will be able to properly diagnosis and treat Chris.
Prayers being said for Chris and Jeanne.
Prayers up!
Praying in agreement for relief of pain, healing, and doors being opened now to see the right doctors - and strength for his family and care-givers.
Prayers for Chris, and, Dear Lord, please bless the doctors with wisdom needed for healing Your child. Amen.
Prayers sent for Chris and Jeanne.
Prayers sent from TX.
He needs to start reading the instructions with his medication. If it is prescription medication, he shouldn't be driving at all. If it is non-presecription, he needs to make sure that it isn't compounding the problem. If he is passing out from loss of blood, the doctors should at least consider a transfusion. If it is from use of painkillers, he shouldn't be out on the street.
Prayers UP!
(Thanks, BG.)
My prayers for Chris and his family.
Prayers lifted for your nephew Chris....
Prayers sent for Chris and his family.
Adding Chris, and the situation to prayers. God bless.
Heavenly Father we join in Prayer that you lead Chris to a doctor that will know the correct diagnosis and treatment to bring healing to him. We ask that you bring comfort for his pain and that he recover quickly from this illness. In Jesus Name we Pray. Amen
God bless Chris and this family. May the Good Lord grant relief, healing, blessing and peace. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Praying.
Please post your replies to Auntbee
Auntbee, My prayers go up for your family. God's healing hand over your nephew.
Brad's Gramma - thank you for the ping.
Blessings,
trussell
If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
Prayers that the cause of Chris' problems will be found and that he will be healed. How can the hospital turn him away, when he was obviously anemic from the loss of blood?
Matt 18:20
Thanks trussell and Grammie for the ping.
Father Lord we pray for Chris' healing and for strength for his family to help him. In the name of Jesus, amen.
