327 replies

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!!!!

CaptainCaveman · 07/12/2010 19:17

Praise God! Our prayers were anwered yesterday in the form of the re-interviews. They basically all denied much of what they said in the first interviews Grin and there is nothing concrete that we can say that gives them any grounds for 'reasonable belief'. Thank You Lord for giving answer to our prayers.
Hearing part deux is tomoroow at 9am so once more praying for truth and sensibility to prevail. Also, praying for a safe journey for dh from Nottm to Brum at an early hour with the roads so slippy.

I'm just off to read what I've missed so I can get praying too for you all

amberlight · 07/12/2010 19:41

Well, I'm still coughing like a wildly coughing thing and feeling headachey but it's better than it was.
Need prayers though - for God to help sort out two communication crises in my life right now. Can't say a lot about either alas...

HermyaTheRedNosedReindeer · 07/12/2010 21:02

Amberlight Praying for you.

Captain Adding prayers for your DH!

PA Prayers for healing.

TUO Prayers that God will lead to a church where you can get settled in. If it's any help, my friends went to the Minister in York for quite some time and they had a bit of a decent community going within their congregation and that was high church.

Limera Ooo how lovely, welcome!!

DO Praying for you my lovely.

Right can you please pray for my DS, he's got something brewing (in fact so do me and Mr Hermya at the moment, but not bothered about that) and I really don't want him to get ill (I was hoping that he'd hold out until we can at least give him a bit of calpol to relieve his symptons). He's been sleepy today and was a bit stuffy last night. Can you pray that this illness doesn't take hold of him, that he is healed by the power of Jesus and that he gets a good nights sleep and is comfortable and happy.

On the plus side, he is now starting to laugh (mostly at me, probably the start of things to come). He is a constant joy, I can't praise God enough for him.

Praying for you all!!

madangelhaironchristmasday · 07/12/2010 21:29

oooh Hermya praying for your tiny one. Hope he doesn't get a cold, bless him. So glad you're enjoying him so much Xmas Smile

Amber, praying now for your communication crises. x

CC that is great news! Praying for more of that tomorrow and safe travel.

Mary how did it go with BIL today?

MaryBS · 07/12/2010 21:31

Not entirely sure how it went with BIL. Info from MIL was distinctly lacking... apparently he has had chemo, but she seemed unsure even about that! DH is supposed to be phoning his other sister to ask for more info...

amberlight · 08/12/2010 07:35

Keeping more prayers going. Now DH and DS are both ill, so my week isn't improving a lot.

CaptainCaveman · 08/12/2010 18:41

Dh's hearing today went well but they had to finish early and so its rescheduled again for next monday! So still none the wiser but both dh and his union rep say they feel quite confident there is no case to answer. Praying that the outcome on Monday is positive in dh's favour.

Prayers for your ds Hermya, hows he doing today?

jaffacakeaddict · 08/12/2010 18:48

Great news CC

Prayers for all

TotallyUnheardOf · 08/12/2010 18:59

Oh, I'm so pleased to hear that CC. Praying for a good outcome on Monday and for your dh to be able to walk away vindicated.

Prayers for your LO, Hermya and thanks for the York idea. It's a bit far for me, but a possibility. Praying for health for amber and your family too, and for all on this thread.

Just popped back to ask for prayers for my DF and his wife who are at a crucial point in their fertility treatment. They are amazing people who'd be wonderful parents.

Thank you.

CaptainDippy · 08/12/2010 19:15

Here's hoping CC [fmsile] xx

Jentlydoesit's DP's trial starts properly tomorrow - please please keep them in your thoughts & prayers. xx

Continuing to pray for William, TACP - Please update when you know any more .....

Praying for Jently's H

Teaandchristmascakeplease · 08/12/2010 23:02

Hello MrsRichards Smile

DutchOma · 09/12/2010 06:28

Hello MrsRichards Wink Smile

amberlight · 09/12/2010 08:07

Hello MrsR!

Got to handle today with some sort of intelligence...got to get to hospital, have scary painful tests, chat to consultant, hope it's not worse news than it should be, and go back to work to 'man the fort' afterwards, all on my own. Prayers would be appreciated.

MaryBS · 09/12/2010 08:25

Praying Amber, and for MrJDI...

BIL does have a second brain tumour, hence no radiotherapy. They can't operate because it would leave him paralysed. He has had more chemotherapy, which they hadn't wanted to do, as he's had so much already. He now needs professional care at home. Please keep praying. :(

amberlight · 09/12/2010 09:19

Prayers assured, Mary Sad

CaptainDippy · 09/12/2010 09:46

God is holding him. xx

Prayers for you today amber. xx

Quick request ..... as you've always been so kind and supportive in the past.
My poor dad is moving into a care home this afternoon - he doesn't understand why he's going as he has dementia - but my mum desperately needs a break.
Please pray for them both.

I've got to take him there and I really need some strength so I don't sob...

Prayers for you all as always.
WW

madangelhaironchristmasday · 09/12/2010 13:39

Praying WW, for you and your parents.

Prayers Mary.

Hi Mrs Richards :)

Hermya how is ds and how are you?

thinking of you all. Was praying yesterday and had the verse 'Christ in you, the hope of glory' come into my mind for you guys, just thinking on the theme of hope in the midst of so many difficulties, and encouraging us all to hold onto that amazing hope.

jaffacakeaddict · 09/12/2010 13:40

Prayers for everyone today and you and your mum in particular WW. Also your BIL Mary.

amberlight · 09/12/2010 17:25

Thanks for the prayers - did the scary tests, got an operation date in Jan next year for what could be alright or could be very major...depends what they find Confused
