Prayers for J.D.'s son (a person I know from an email list) : He says: My handicapped son is in the hospital with a massive infection that has temporarily, we hope, caused most of his organs to shut down, or nearly so. His condidtion is now stable, and appears to be slowly improving, but he is still extremely critical. The docs seem to think that the next few days will tell if he will recover or not, so your prayers will be greatly appreciated.
Prayers for Mary Elizabeth, who is a Benedictine Oblate, who is having much physical and spiritual pain and problems.
Prime Choice asks: Please add my sister-in-law Renee to your prayer request thread.

murphyb has this request for a small boy: A 3 yr old nephew of a friend was admitted into the hospital b/c he started having trouble walking. They conducted a CT and found out he has a tumor on or near his brain stem. . Update: There is now some hope for this little guy. The doctors are now saying that he should have a 40-60% chance of survival. That sounds bad but they all thought that it would be much less. They say that if the tumor had been 2 centimeters lower on the brain stem, his chances would have been 0-5%. The doctors are now trying to decide how to proceed with chemo or radiation.
Knitting a Conundrum reports and asks: My Asthma doctor says he thinks I don't have real asthma, but instead something called "vocal cord dysfunction" where the vocal cords spasm in ways that can block one's air. This can be caused by stress, irritants, and a number of things, but the good thing is that one can learn to control the spasm reaction through breathing exercises and other things. Going to consult with my primary care doc and see if we can't get to the bottom of this. Prayers that I can get this under control.
Jaded asks us to remember the following in our prayers:
Fr. Mike, recovering from surgery.
Deb- starting chemo.
Beth, Gabby and Claribeth- moving to Chicago so Gabby and Claribeth will be near their Dr. Both kids have Chiari Malformation
Glenda who has stage 4 brain cancer and breast cancer as well as her kids Debbie and Michael. The kids are grown but they are having a really hard time. Also Charles and Tina who are trying to help her and the kids.
From happymom: A quick request of my own: my daughter Christina is in the hospital. For the past couple weeks she has been saying she couldn't eat or drink anything because she felt like she was choking. Finally this weekend she as admitted because she was so dehydrated she couldn't keep anything down even when she tried. It turns out today that her EEG showed she is having seizures and that could explain the choking feeling. That makes sense to me, since I have two other children with epilepsy. I'm not sure I want to bring her home from the hospital yet, though, if she still can't eat and drink, or we'll just be back in by this weekend. On the other hand, I've only gotten to see the rest of my family for about 5 minutes a day, and I'd like to get home. But whatever will be best for her. I've got to get back to the hospital now so I won't be able to reply till tomorrow at least. Thank you so much.
Please remember Noelle, who is having great difficulty finding a job.

Prayers for Rte66 and her situation with her neighbors.
Knitting a Conundrum asks: Please pray that everything about our move to Boise in the fall goes smoothly...I'm a bit overwhelmed by what needs to be done, and I have a lot of stuff to do and keep getting asthma attacks (related to stress and just the products I need to use to get the jobs done), and we're having some problems with the house we've been renting out and plan to move into. I'd really appreciate it.
Ciexyz has a friend who needs prayer: "Prayers requested for Dave, a friend of mine who is back in the hospital with Lyme Disease. This has been going on for over a year, he's been in and out of the hospital numerous times, has had bad reactions to the drugs they've used to try and treat this problem. Your prayers are much appreciated."
Tertiary01 requests: "My step daughter who spent her military duty down in Panama, recently had her half brother murdered by jerks trying to steal his car. She is still inconsolable and could stand your prayers."
MissEdie has this update on Clint: " I wanted to update all of you on Clint's condition. His mother and I appreciate all of your prayers, however it is not looking good. His mom just got back from the hospital and the doctors are preparing her for the worst. Clint is not responding to the antibiotic being used to treat his staph infection. On Friday there was a glimmer of hope, his fever had broken. He is on the ventilator and it is doing all of his breathing for him. Freepers please pray hard for him, Clint is only 14 years old, and he has been in the hospital battling pneumonia. Please continue to pray for him and his mother! She is very frightened, and so am I."

Update from Sally's Concerns on her sister Alexis the Bengal Kitty: "She's had the pre-cancerous lump removed from her breast and we should have the pathology report later today (Monday, the 12th), she's had another ultrasound for the tumour on her ovary and it hasn't grown since the last one 2 months ago and finally, she had more blood work done and the blood test which tests for the ovarian cancer marker came back as normal. While it's too early to start celebrating it's not ovarian cancer, I'm still extremely grateful to all of the wonderful FReepers for their prayers for both of us.
Army MP Retired updates us on his wife.
" Update on my Anita. Friends, yesterday we received bad news in that the cancer is in fact invasive and it was not contained only to the tumor that was removed last week. She must now have a complete mastectomy. That will happen next Thursday, followed by extensive chemotherapy. Pathology will then determine the likelihood the cancer has spread elsewhere and dictate what further testing is necessary. We continue to be grateful for our many blessings and for your prayers."

Mrs. Liberty is asking: "Would you please add my friend "Mike C" to your list? He is suffering from Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. In 1998, he was given three years to live, but has survived thus far. Unfortunately, he cannot have a heart/lung transplant--does not qualify. His health has been up and down over the years. He felt well enough to visit family and friends in Florida a few weeks back, but has told me that he is recently experiencing breathing problems. He is afraid, and I am, for him. He is a dear, dear friend who gives his big heart to everyone.."

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1643026/posts A friend of mine is dealing with a potentially threatening situation and would like to be lifted up in prayer.
Sally'sConcerns posts: "Update: I'll be having surgery on June 28th on 2 different locations on my digestive tract. I'll be in the hospital for a minimum of 7 days. The additional testing I've undergone shows the initial surgery to correct the perforated ulcer was done incorrectly, part of the initial ulcer is still there and there is extensive scar tissue which shouldn't be there. I have precancerous lesions in my esophagus which will not be cured by surgery so I'll have to be monitored every 3 months by having a camera inserted down my esophagus and stomach. They will remove 60% of my stomach which will leave me open to hypoglycemia. Also, I'll have a feeding tube inserted during surgery which will remain until my physician is satisfied my stomach is capable of handling regular food. The feeding tube is required as I'm already somewhat underweight and they feel I need additional nutrition. The feeding tube will remain in my stomach even after I'm released from the hospital.

Please keep FReeper SoFarRight, BlackbirdSST's wife in your prayers. She has started chemo, and BlackbirdSST tells us: "While the diagnosis on my wife is still pretty grim, she/we are fighting tooth and nail. We are lucky in the sense that we moved to an area (Billings, MT), that has one of the most highly rated Cancer Centers in the Nation. We had no idea. These people are GREAT! She is participating in a treatment clinical trial and study group, and she is recieving the most advanced Chemo treatments known (Avastin)and some others, whose name escapes me at the moment. "

Need for a BIG prayer. We have a friend that is in the hospital and just delivered a baby girl (the girl's name is Clare and the mother's name is Judy.) Clare was born on the 4th of July and only weighs 2 lbs. If she lives, they expect her to be in the neonatal unit for 2 or 3 months. Judy's father recently lost a kidney and part of his liver to cancer and is fighting that. My prayer is for a total healing of the baby girl, and a total healing for the father--his name is Mickey. I also pray that the family will receive total peace from the G-d of the Universe. Thanks for your prayers

Thank you for adding me & my beautiful dog, Jesse, to the list. That truly means so much to me. The prayers, messages, & mail from fellow FReepers has helped me more than words can express.
I wish I could thank you all individually, but please know that your words & sentiments expressed to me in my time of need really made a difference.
THANK YOU!!
I have sent up prayers for all on the list, and for others out there in need.

paulat asks:
Here's the scoop:
The Dad starts a new job in So. Cal...family to follow.
On first day of job, father-in-law dies last Thursday.
Mom...having to cope with move, etc., all-of-a-sudden has to have surgery on her neck in the middle of all the chaos.
I asked the Dad (JRios1968) if I could offer a prayer ping...and he said, "Thanks for the prayer offer...your call. I certainly could use a chorus of people petitioning the Lord for help for my Mrs."
Can we give this chorus for the Mrs.?
I know that we will keep you updated.
I will. Thank you
Awestruck asks: "Please ask all to pray for Amanda Trimble, who came home to find her entire family dead, her husband had shot the 4 children and then killed himself.. and no one knows why he did it.. I can't imagine the pain this woman is going through.. she needs all our prayers right now.
We also need prayers for another local mother, Debbie Hawk, who has been missing for quite some time, after police found blood in her house and found her vehicle abandoned.."
nw_arizona_granny asks:
Davey Crockett's father has had a heart attack, I am glad to be able to say today, that it appears to be a mild one.
Can we keep our prayers going for his healing, please.
There is nothing as powerful as Freeper prayers.
That I can prove, having benefited from them, with everlasting thanks, to God and to all the Freepers....
Further updates:
The FIL's burial will be this weekend in Bridgman, Michigan. My personal prayer (since the Mrs and I are unable to attend,) is that his widow and his ex-wife (who get along very well, despite both still being very much in love with the man, thankfully) will be able to withstand the emotion of the ceremony. Same thing for my sister-in-law, who had a really hard time dealing with the private viewing we had earlier this week.
In news regarding the Mrs, she will undergo surgery on Tuesday, the 11th. Please pray with me that the growth inside her neck will NOT be malignant and can be completely removed.
Thanks to all.
Please post your replies to DAVEY CROCKETT; nw_arizona_granny
DAVEY CROCKETT, My prayers going up for dad and your family. God's healing for your dad....God's comfort for the family.
Blessings,

rj45mis asks:
For you freepers who would be moved to do so, I ask for your prayers for my niece and her 2 children. The husband/father was killed in a firefight Tuesday night near the Pakistan border. He was a National Guardsman in his mid forties and had 2 months left in country. He had served a short tour in Bosnia 2 years ago as well. He was training Afghani troops and had just been moved to the border region. Besides my niece he leaves behind a 9-year old son and a 4-year old daughter. Everyone is in shock at the suddenness of it all. This man was a patriot and a hero who died for the country he loved.

Prayers offered up for the family of the slain soldier. Words fail at this time, but I'd like to express my gratitude for his service to our country.
So many new requests...prayers offered up for them all. We know that our Father in Heaven hears our heartfelt prayers.
Prayers up for the family. May this brave soldier rest in peace.
I have interceded on behalf of Amanda Trimble in prayer to the only Source of Refuge and Strength. He alone is able.
