Prayer Request: RQSR is in deep doo doo. The Cardio at the VA, GOD Bless them fixed my fluttering Heart problem several weeks ago, and am taking follow-up medication (Blood thinners), and other meds at this time, but I am down to one lung, and some other suspicious characters are involved with my Liver according to the PET Scan. Currently on Oxygen round the clock. The BEST medicine in the World is Prayers. Please, I need them more than anything. My friend from the old days at another site years ago has me on several prayer lists. I need to...

I’m asking for prayers for my son-in-law. My daughter just informed me tonight that she’s leaving him this weekend while he’s out of town. I knew they were having problems and she “wasn’t happy,” but I was hoping she’d come to her senses and realize she was being stupid. Unfortunately, she hasn’t. They’re both 32, have been married for 7 years with no kids, and they are employed. The reason I’m asking for prayers is the way she’s chosen to leave the marriage. He’s coming home Sunday to a note explaining that she’s gone. I love him to death but...

Prayers for FRiends and Family Thread Instructions and Guidelines: I believe that God wants us to know how much He Loves us and desires to hear our personal prayers so in His Kindness and Mercy grants our humble requests, not always but often in the exact manner we expect and so I think it’s very important for the people that pray to learn of how their prayers are answered. To post a prayer request on this thread simply click on the "Post Reply" button on this post and let everyone know who and what we are praying for. Those that...

On Monday, my brother Ron will undergo cardiac bypass surgery. He is 84, and it was just discovered that he has this blockage. He is rather active, and the doctors were amazed that he has been getting around as well as he does, so my hopes are high. But, of course, God's will be done.

Please pray for my father. AND my mother. He called for an ambulance last Wed as he was weakening over the week and did not want to end up stuck in the crowded transient temporary lobby of the ER (bad for an elderly tall man with bad mechanical issues as it is). I've been there every day since, and as of now the internist doctors see him as a very, very sick man. He goes for a liver/lymph/??? biospy tomorrow to apparently determine if it is lymphoma (originally stated so) or leukemia. Either way, he does OK but he is...

Former first lady Barbara Bush is in failing health, a source close to the Bush family tells CNN. At 92 years old, Bush has been suffering for some time and has been in and out of the hospital multiple times in the last year while battling with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, and congestive heart failure. The source said she is being cared for at her home in Houston and has decided she does not want to go back into the hospital.

OK, finally I will give an update on my breast cancer. Any advice/guidance appreciated regarding my specific history! Anyone who matches me would love to hear from. I'm 47 now, BTW. *I have a history of a pulm. embolism a month after major surgery on the gut the other year, while still on birth control (they yanked me off after that).

Praise God - news that I am BRCA-negative! This helps the plans for surgery on my BC and treatment!

Yes, got the call for my biopsy; it is cancer.

Tomorrow I have yet another biopsy for breast cancer. Can you please pray for me?

Justin Wilson, a British IndyCar driver, was struck in the head by debris from another car during today's race. IndyCar reports he is in a coma and listed in critical condition.

Hello all. Asking for more prayers for my father. Today he is at Hopkins to have triple-bypass surgery. This is harrowing enough, as is the thought of "recovery" with them cutting bones for it, but last night I just got a call from my aunt (his sister) and she stated that she and my uncle (brother), who is paralyzed, have a defect in their spines and that my dad should ensure surgeons are aware of this because of possible genetic similarity. I called my parents this morning to tell them (my aunt oddly did not mention it to them). But...

You may remember my earlier thread from last week. My Uncle Billy has died in the last hour.

Please continue prayers for my cleaning lady's daughter.

My mother Betty, 87 years young, fell and broke her leg. She's scheduled for a rod implant surgery tomorrow at 7 AM. She's a wonderful lady, active with her church and circle, and still mentally sharp. She's doing well after her fall, and was very positive when I spoke to her earlier today. I would greatly appreciate your prayers and good thoughts! God Bless!

Former KNWA news anchor Matt Turner has died in a car accident. It happened Saturday night on Interstate 30 near Bryant, Arkansas. He leaves behind his wife Julee and their young daughter Preslee, along with his mother and brother. His family released this statement Sunday morning: "Matt always loved and protected his family and his greatest asset was his love for his daughter Preslee. He always put his family and friends ahead of himself and was constantly thinking ahead and planning on their behalf. Matt was a man of integrity and had a strong faith in God. While we are...

My sister Barb has cancer on the brain now. According to her doctors today, she is in dire need of care. Part of the roller coaster of the last few days (especially for me, because I was dead-set against it) is that she has abandoned regular medicine and has gone in for the "naturopath" route of tons of supplements and the like. Now we need to confront her and get her to change her mind. The doctors told her husband it is imperative; time is of the essence. Time is exactly a prime reason I'm against playing around with "alternatives"....
