CaptainDippy · 30/11/2010 18:01

Thought the last thread was getting a big long and as our car is not starting (eeeeek); I am taking the opportunity to start a new thread before DC's get home from Outlaws with DH ....

Here's the summary from the last thread:

Namechanger - Popped by to let us know that her DF's DS who collapsed with heart problems is making progress. He is being kept sedated until he is strong enough to have external pacemaker removed in order that he can have an MRI to ascertain more definitely what is wrong. He will almost definitely have to have an internal pacemaker / defib inserted before leaving the hospital - Any more on this!!?

DutchOma - Bob is now convalescing in a care home of sorts, until he is ready and strong enough to go home. He is making good progress and is eating, drinking and walking a little using a stick. DO is struggling in intervals with the stress of the situation and needs lots of TLC and prayer Smile

wisteriawoman - A suitable care home has been found for her father who is suffering from Dementia - praying he settles in well there Smile

weegiemum Popped by with requests! Her DD2 faces a possible hip operation in the near future; while her DS has to go to a specialist hospital to have an extra row of teeth removed. Her DD1 is being assessed for dyslexia and weegiemum's mental health has not been too good of late. She has recently been DX with a BPD. Also prayers for her DH who is looking into training for Ministry on a P/T basis ... Lots going on ....

MaryBS - Has had a lot on her plate and struggling with feelings of negativity and panic. Her DS and DD have been having bullying issues at school; and DS' behaviour is particularly reflecting this. Her BIL's brain tumour is growing again and his wife has suspected heart problems. Prayers that God would keep this precious family safe. xx

amber Has been struggling and panicking a lot. Wrap her up in your love, Lord. xx

Tooblessed - Passed her exam Grin

MrsC - Her DF who broke her leg badly is home and recovering, with good support around her Smile Prayers needed for a young family @ church who recently and very suddenly lost their dad Sad The family consist of his DW, 2 young DC's and another on the way Sad

PositiveAttitude - Survived her surgical ordeal is a relived to be told that her tumour was benign!!! Grin Wonderful news!! Smile

pipplin - Was told she would not be able to have DC; but she already has a precious little one and another on the way!! Smile Prayers for frightened feelings to be calmed and for a lovely pregnancy Smile

CazandBelle - Has started back at work (teaching) for the 1st time since losing lovely Belle in June; and is doing well. Prayers for her and her DH as they face the results of his recent lumbar puncture and various other tests ....

Saliswan - Has been rather poorly due to a flare up of her Crohn's Disease and is praying that her little one (PG) hangs on a bit longer before decide he/she needs to welcome the world!!!!!

TentativeSteps - Joined us to tell us of her recent regaining of Faith, after losing it about 8 yrs ago Smile Prayers for her as she restarts her journey with the Lord Smile

Vbusymum - Needs lots of prayers for her marriage, which is struggling very severely at the moment.

notsofarnow - Recently lost her grandfather and is really finding life all a bit much right now. Give her your strength and your love, Lord.

TeaandCakePlease - Would like lots of prayers for awkward family situations that are centering around Christmas - for more info here is the original thread for more info .... Prayers also that her STBXH finds a new job soon!!

Hermya - Has been really struggling with Mastitis since having her little one, but praise God, this has cleared up and he is latching on well and feeding properly!! Well Done you, Hermya!! WinkSmile

NorthernLurker's Sister and her partner enjoyed a beautiful Wedding in the snow this weekend just gone Smile NL's new BIL is suffering from terminal lung cancer and will recommence his radiation therapy soon. Prayers for them as they faces an uncertain amount of time together. This has been a particularly hard year for NL. Please Blessed this family as the look to spend a precious and special Christmastime together ....

itshappenedagain - Asked for prayers for her brother's recovery as he was caught in a bomb blast (he is in the Forces) and has suffered broken bones and number of injuries. How is he doing??

CaptainCaveman's DH is currently facing a horrid situation at work. Here is her original post pertaining to it:

"I come asking for prayers for dh who was suspended from work last week for allegedly allowing one of the cleaning team managers to allow her husband onto site 18 months ago to help with a cleaning operation. The man who suspended him was very cruel and verging on bullying, he didn't allow dh any support in the meeting, nor did he advise him he needed his union there. That aside, dh is extremely stressed and worried that he may lose his job. He has done nothing wrong, but the company he works for think nothing of 'compromising' people out of the business if they take a dislike to them! Please pray for dh's peace of mind, for the investigation to progress honestly and truthfully and swiftly, and for a quick resolution."

I sincerely hope his Hearing went well today and he is acquitted and reinstated ASAP. Smile xxxxxxx Let us know CC. xxxxx

LovesBeingaDaddysGirl - Recently lost her Father to cancer Sad Prayers for her and all her family in their sad loss. xx

mufti - Praise God for the safe arrival of M's Miracle baby (friend from church) Smile!!!!

...and finally ....

Prayers for CaptainDippy's FIL who will be undergoing quite major surgery on his Prostate on Sat am. Praying the op is straight-forward, as is the recovery. Prayers too for her BF's DH who poured boiling water on himself this morning. He is ok, but very sore and won't be going back to work for quite some time .....Not great when you are in the process of moving house an have five DC's!!!!!!!! Biscuit

Get Praying!!!!

Good to hear of answers to prayer. Praying for you M44, and for you too LBADG. And for you too DO. Hope you're having a better day dippy! MHD, any news on the little boy?

gingercurl · 03/12/2010 10:44

Just checking in. Things v busy at the moment. Praying for all as I read through.

shieldbug · 03/12/2010 10:46

LBADG so sorry to hear of your losses. Praying you will find comfort from God and others.

PA just found out your news. Praise God! I'm sooo pleased for you.

I'd like to post a prayer of thanks. Friends have a baby who isn't putting on weight and has some indications of cf. They are Christians and have rallied prayer support for their ds. We found out yesterday that he has put on a lb in a week (to the hospital's amazement) and tests for cf are negative. We're just so happy for them.

Swaliswan · 03/12/2010 13:54

Hermya If you follow this link you'll be able to find a cranial osteopath and information about cranial osteopathy. I can't remember how I found the cranial osteopath who I use but he is on this site and highly recommends it.

I'm off for another nap Xmas Grin

CaptainDippy · 03/12/2010 15:39

Poor little thing M44 Sad Praying it clears up soon. xx

Glad you had a better time Hermya [Fsmile]

PRAISE God SB!!! Xmas Grin

jaffacakeaddict · 03/12/2010 21:56

Prayers for all.

Hermya - our DS1 was very windy and cried a lot. I found a baby massage designed for colic helped a lot (he always farted loads after I'd finished it!). Our HV showed us how to do it but there will also probably be websites with ideas.

LBADG - my heart goes out to you

Teaandchristmascakeplease · 03/12/2010 22:05

A very good friend and her H had a baby boy called William, they always knew from the scans before birth that he may have special needs as his brain wasn't developing well. He'd actually been sent home with his mum and dad and had been doing well until today, please can you pray for him, I've just received this message:

"Dear friends,

If you can please pray for William, my husband and I and our families tonight. William was admitted to hospital this evening with suspected seizures every half an hour-20 minutes. This has been confirmed now and he has had some IV anti convulsion drugs to calm his brain down. Unfortunately this makes his breathing harder so he's also on some oxygen. They have carried out blood tests and an ultra sound on his head. We are unsure how they intend to treat him long term. We think they will try to get an MRI done quickly (the one scheduled for today didnt happen because he woke up, so he needs one carried out under sedation), and put him on some oral drugs to try and control them.

Pleas pray for my husband who is in hopsital with him this evening on his own. It feels like we're watching someone elses life unfold before us.

We have never felt more helpless and scared but we pray that God's power will be made perfect in our weakness.

With love" Sad

BlueEyeshadow · 03/12/2010 22:35

Praying for all.

Hermya - you might be able to get your GP to prescribe infacol or colief. It's worth asking, at any rate. Ours did, but others wouldn't.

DS1 has had a weird phase of waking up for the loo but being really disoriented and screamy about it - just shouts "No!" until you get him back into bed. Hoping that this will pass fairly quickly!

DutchOma · 04/12/2010 08:45

Praying for William and his family, the doctors and nurses treating him. Lord have mercy.

CaptainDippy · 04/12/2010 09:09

Lots of prayers for William and his mummy & daddy. Like DO said - "Lord have mercy". Amen. xx

Please please pray for my Father Outlaw today who has gone in for major surgery on his Prostate. I know he was heading to the hospital about 7am; but I've no idea what time his op is this morning. Praying it goes really well and he has a swift recovery. Thank you Xmas Smile

Almost all the snow has gone here!! Xmas Shock

Poor little William - praying for his family.

MaryBS · 04/12/2010 10:43

Prayers please, for BIL. My SIL was unable to wake him up yesterday, and he is now in hospital :(. Prognosis unknown.

dippy praying for your fil

mary praying for your bil

praying for little william and his family, and also for MHD's friends' 4yo.

Please could you pray for the re-interviews of witnesses to proceed truthfully on Monday? Dh's manager has to go back and ask more questions of those who seem to have colluded. Praying the outcome is positive and truthful.

amberlight · 04/12/2010 13:42

Mary, oh heck -prayers assured. And for everyone else too.
Going back to bed with this flu bug again - prayers that I'm ok by next week as I desperately need to get things done Sad

CazandBelle · 04/12/2010 19:38

adding my love and prayers for William. What a scary time for his parents. I pray that God wraps his arms around them and showers them in love and provides comfort and strength.

I teach children with special needs and from conversations I've had with my parents I understand they'll feel like its not their life at the moment and when the bump hits it hits hard.

prayers for amber that you'll feel better tomorrow.

prayers for your FIL dippy

mary prayers for your BIL and SIL

prayers for everyone on this thread.

madangelhaironchristmasday · 04/12/2010 20:08

Adding my prayers esp for CDs FIL, Mary's BIL and little William. CC praying for a good outcome for dh.
Havn't heard any more about the little boy but should do tomorrow.

MaryBS · 05/12/2010 07:27

SIL is seeing the consultant at 10am today (on a Sunday! For that reason alone, it sounds bad!). BIL WAS due to start radiation treatment tomorrow. I guess we'll know more later, but prayers welcomed...

PositiveAttitude · 05/12/2010 10:11

Praying Mary, right now as they are probably with him now.

amberlight · 05/12/2010 12:04

Keeping prayers going...

CaptainDippy · 05/12/2010 20:05

Oh man, had a hard day with the girls today - Too over-excited and over-tired due to impending Christmas & snow we've had I think. Pleeeeease go to sleeeeep!!! Xmas Hmm

Anyway ....

On-going prayers for you and for your DH, CC - Praying the witnesses reports are truthful and favourable tomorrow; and this whole sorry mess can be cleared up ASAP so your lovely DH can go back to work!! [fmils]e

Please update when you can on BIL, Mary - Lots of prayers!! xx

Get plenty of rest and don't do too much - That's an order!!!! Xmas Wink Hope you feeling better soon. xx

Please please please can we all rally together to pray for, oh bum, I cannot remember her NM name at all -only her RL name. Well, it's Jen anyway - so perhaps someone who knows her can shed some light!!? Anyway, the next few weeks are absolutely crucial for her, her DH and her precious little family. Her DH is on trial for something he supposedly did a long time ago, before he and Jen got together and the trial begins again tomorrow. Hold them in yours prayers at this frightening and uncertain time, please. Thank you Xmas Smile xx

Prayers for all.

In particular, CC I'll pray that there is a truthful outcome tomorrow and your DH is completely vindicated. Jentlydoesit, again I'll pray for a truthful outcome and that you and your family will feel God's presence at this time.

MaryBS · 05/12/2010 21:28

Praying for JDI and CCM's DHs...

Well, BIL is home again. He has another tumour, don't know where, all this is 3rd hand from DH, via his mum. He will see the consultant again on Tuesday. Radiation treatment will NOT start tomorrow. Please keep praying
