Prayer Request: Very Sick Mom
Praying FREEPers everywhere | 08/31/07

Posted on 08/31/2007 9:02:55 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat



I'd like to ask praying FREEPers to mention and remember my 60-something mom--her initials are "B.J."--in the coming weeks.

I've not mentioned this much on the board, but she has been fighting cancer for several months now. Her body is weak; she cannot swallow because when she tries the liquid goes into her lungs.

One doctor says he sees little hope in continuing chemo (a general practictioner), but the oncologist says even though she'll always have the disease, she can get back to a normal life.

Right now she is preparing to have a hospital bed at home and dad will be "feeding" her through a tube in her belly. But she's even had trouble keeping that food down; she has been throwing up even the pablum they feed her that way!

Chemotherapy has weakened her body, but has also helped slow the cancer's progress. Those of you who've battled this know how it can be.

Anyway, she vacillates of course with moods...and my dad, several states away from us, is doing a yeoman's job in trying to take care of her.

One lovely thing: she is a woman of faith, a follower of Christ. She does have friends who come and care for her, too...so the Lord's hands and feet are around her!

I certainly believe God is sovereign, and I also know He hears our prayers.

Please join me and pray for "BJ".

I’m sorry you lost your Mom. May she live in happy memories until it’s time for you to be with her again.

May the Lord bring you peace in your time of loss.

Losing Mom is something you never completely recover from.

Pain lessens with time but the love you always hold on to.

able to sing, dance, love, and laugh again.

That's what comforted me when my 94 year old Dad passed away on August 27...knowing he was dancing with his mother who he hadn't seen in 77 years.

Praying hard for your Mom, BJ for a life that is fulfilled even with cancer (remission as soon as possible) and for immediate comfort and ability to keep food and liquids in her body for additional health.
