Had a great service this morning - 5 children baptised, so lovely. Church packed for a change with family and friends. Quite a few of my seekers group there, seems so exciting. Hope they got on OK with it. Baptism liturgy always quite full on!! :)

DutchOma · 07/11/2010 17:03

We're just back from the hospital. Bob seemed a n awful lot better, he knew we were there and squeezed my hand. That was before they took the tube out and put him on an oxygen mask. After that he was making little notes on a piece of paper, like "where am I" and "I love you". He is nowhere near out of the woods and they will keep him in ITU (1 member of staff per patient) at least till tomorrow when they may let him go to HDU (a nurse for every two patients) He will need lots of physio and nebulisers and other things. But on the whole I think our prayers have been answered.
Ds has now gone home and he will be back tomorrow evening . Tafka is hoping to visit tomorrow morning.

PositiveAttitude · 07/11/2010 17:18

Pleased to hear that DO.Continuing with prayers for Bob, you and the family.

Teaandcakeplease · 07/11/2010 18:57

Praying and bookmarking

TooBlessedToBeStressed · 07/11/2010 19:00

MrsCad praying for your friend..

gingercurl · 07/11/2010 19:30

Oh my goodness! I was unable to start up my computer yesterday and it seems so much has happened since Friday evening!

DO keeping you and Bob in prayer.

Amber I'm relieved the emergency medication helped. How are you now? Praying.

Praying for your friend and her "family logistics" Mrs C.

Hermya How are you doing? Mastitis is awful.

Took 3yo ds with me to church this morning (after many years as a SAH Christian I decided a while back that I'd better find somewhere for ds and myself to "belong" and am in the process of looking). Family service today (yikes!). Ds ran all around throughout but people were incredibly patient with him, and told me not to worry when I was getting stressed Smile. The drummer was great when ds started hitting on the cymbal with a toy hammer and gave him a brush to hit it with for the last song. Ds thought it was fantastic and told dh all about it when we got home. He's been talking about church all afternoon and wants to go there and play Hmm again.

amberlight · 07/11/2010 19:36

I'm a lot better thanks to endless lovely friends and family in many places who have explained things and just 'been there', if you know what I mean. Much to do to get me fixed, because I'm still panicking over the slightest thing at the moment, but so much better than yesterday when it wouldn't stop at all.

Keeping every situation on here in my prayers

CaptainDippy · 07/11/2010 22:06

Pleased your feeling a bit better amber you have so many lovely people around you Smile

Prayers for you Amber, pleased that yesterday was a calmer day for you.

How are you now Hermya?

If you could spare a prayer for me this week, Id really appreciate it. I am in hospital this afternoon for a pre assessment, then surgery on Saturday. I just need to get to Saturday now, bit its tough going. I am fed up of feeling awful and the pain. Thanks.

CazandBelle · 08/11/2010 11:31

Continuing to pray for you and Bob Dutch - its good news he is going down to HDU. Hoping and praying he'll be well enough for a normal ward again soon x x x

amberlight · 08/11/2010 11:50

Doc today has been lovely - really supportive and loads of helpful things. And the site owner is apparently stopping some of the threads that have been debating my disability and how awful it allegedly is for some people (eek).

Prayers continuing for people here

madhairday · 08/11/2010 13:42

Keeping praying DO - is it a lung problem he has, as he is having nebs/IVs? If you want to talk about it you know where I am. x

Amber so pleased good things are happening for you now - big smiles :)

PA praying very much for you this week.

CaptainDippy · 08/11/2010 15:38

Continued prayers DO Smile xxx Thank you for your updates. xx

Praying for you this week PA. xx

Good stuff amber Smile

Struggling a bit in DippyLand - especially with changes to my job, which haven't been given a lot of notice for. Rather stressed out. Also have DDs 1 & 2 on double Inset today and tomorrow - eeeek!!!!!

WisteriaWoman · 08/11/2010 20:29

Thank you for all your prayers - they've worked - my dear dad is being discharged from hospital tomorrow. Now I need to just focus on praying for my mum (76) who will resume being the main carer for my poor dad (88) and coping with his dementia.

Prayers for you all.

DutchOma · 08/11/2010 22:15

Bob got moved from ITU to HDU. He is still very poorly he said and has a very long way to go, but he is improving and we must be grateful for that. They gave him an etch-a-sktetch pad which was a vast improvement on him trying to write letters on his hand with his finger.

amberlight · 09/11/2010 07:27

Keeping the prayers going...

MaryBS · 09/11/2010 07:32

Still praying, DO.

Praying DO xx

PositiveAttitude · 09/11/2010 19:55

Prayers continuing for Bob and DO, and Amber and Mary and everyone else.

Would you all mind if I did a bit of an "Am I being unreasonable..." on here? Be honest with me, because I need the truth....

As you all know I am going into hospital Saturday. DD2 is having a few "issues" at the moment, and has asked for some Christian counselling. Minister phoned me today to ask when he could come and see me before Saturday to discuss the problems with DD2. I explained that tomorrow is her 18th birthday, Thursday I have a visitor coming and Friday DD1 is arriving to be here for the weekend. I can only manage a very short bit of life each day at the moment and did not feel able to commit to discussing this considering how I feel. He took in my reasons for each day and then said he would come round on Tuesday morning. All being well I come out of hospital on Monday. Now, I can understand he wants to help, and is trying to be caring, but he is making me feel really selfish in not putting DD2 top priority. I am not sure I am going to be up to seeing him on Tuesday, and not really up to discussing DD2s problems. Oh, I sound so selfish, I should just do it and put her first, shouldnt I?? Blush

Be as harsh as you like with me

MrsCadwallader · 09/11/2010 20:13

Possibly, PA, but sometimes the best way of putting others first is by putting yourself first! Does your Minister know how you are feeling? It might help to tell him!

Continuing prayers for everyone. amber how are you at the moment?

WisteriaWoman · 09/11/2010 20:17

Crikey you are being totally sensible in putting yourself first- if you've just come out of hospital you certainly won't be up to having any stress / strain. Politely say no to Tuesday but suggest perhaps later in the week.

I am sure your minister won't think badly of you for not putting DD2 first....( TBH he probably hasn't even thought of that and has just found a convenient gap in his diary! We all know men and women think differently!!)

Best of luck and prayers for Saturday.
