Prayer Request for FReeper MyFavoriteHeadache

Free Republic ^ | 06-26-03 | AAABEST

[AAABEST]

Doug "MyFavorteHeadache" Maher called me from the hospital tonight. He was experiencing back and chest pain today and decided to have it checked out.... turns out that he has a blood clot in his lung that could possibly move to his heart. They have him all tubed up with all kinds of drugs and blood thinners, and he's understandably a bit shook up as this is the same affliction that killed his dad at the age of 37. He'll probably be on blood thinners for he rest of his life.

For those who don't know Doug, he's a great guy all around. We're in a local organization together but our activism goes back several years.

The above pic (that's Doug on the left about to shove his sign up the stinky Rat's a$$) was taken in West Palm during the near riots of the 2000 elections, when we (and several other FReepers) nearly had our heads handed to us by angry Rats. This photo wound up on the front page of the NY Times, NY post, Stars and Stripes just to name a few. It was also featured on a 2 page spread in USA Today and was in numerous papers around the world. I happend to pull this one off the Chandigarth Tribune in India, where it's still up to this day.

As I said, Doug is a great guy and an A+ American. Say a prayer for him, even though I know God is going to take good care of him.

Shalom!

Prayers being sent to the Throne Room of The Almighty Living GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel!

May Our Lord Bless and Keep Doug in HIS Perfect Peace, Touch him with HIS Healing Power and Comfort him with HIS Immeasurable Grace and Love.

Prayers for Doug's family and for GOD'S Wisdom and Discernment for all of the Medical Staff and Doctors entrusted with his care.

In The Precious Name that is above ALL Names: Yeshua/Jesus The Messiah - The Holy One Of Israel. Amen & Amen.

So very true! Doug is an awesome person all the way around. Today when I as with him he asked that I look up the prayer request and print it all out for him. So tonight I will do that. I will take it to him tomorrow when I go to visit again This means so very much to him - thank you t all of you!!!

[AAABEST]

Is that you PJ? Please answer, you're freaking me out!!!

[AAABEST]

Just got back from visiting Doug. Your prayers are working because he was in good spirits and things are looking good. He had a bunch of tubes and wires and bottles and bags and all kinds of stuff all over, but he was all there and had had a his usual good "aura" about him.

You freepers are the greatest earth, I feel truly blessed to be in your company. Thank you all for praying for my/our friend. he'll be getting a copy of this, y'all may have saved his life with your prayers and by lifting his spirit.

HOW KOOL IS THAT!!!! God bless each and every one of you.

As an aside, I'll be sure to direct him to Sevenofnine's posts #83 and 85 where she mentions something about Doug getting a "rack" in both posts. If she's anything like the Seven of Nine in Star Trek, I assure you Doug will be making an most speedy recovery.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Looks like God's got some good stuff planned for Doug and you! Praise His Holy Name for this.

What a GREAT FRIEND you are for doing this.

[Soaring Feather]

I am so glad Doug is improving. We must keep up the prayer until he is totally out of danger. Hope that is real soon.
God bless.

Thank you for the progress report and watching out for our fellow freeper.

It's not us AAA, we are just petitioning the Lord with prayer, it is His work. :)

Thank you and kayak for calling us to prayer for Doug.

You truly are the "BEST". We'll stick with this until our friend is out of danger. I know you will keep us up to date and we really appreciate it. Doug, hang in there.
