I hope LibraPoppyGirl doesn't mind, but seeing as she sort of "did" a summary for me; I thought I would use her words to start a new thread as the last one was getting pretty long! Smile

It was interesting to find out what the Plural of Phoenix was at the same time - Apparently that's derives from the original Latin - same as Matrix and Matrices. So there you go!! You learn something new everyday. Wink

Prayers for LibraPoppyGirl as well - as she seeks refuge in the ... erm ... refuge and looks to a safe future with her precious family. Protect her, Lord and show her the way she should walk .....

I hope it all goes well Tacp.

amberlight · 12/04/2011 08:21

Prayers continuing for everyone.

Chemotherapy session 3 today. Hope it goes ok...

DutchOma · 12/04/2011 09:03

Prayers for you Amber and for TACP Very glad you don't have to drive all that way. The children will be excited about flying and being back on Sunday is not an eternity either.

MaryBS · 12/04/2011 09:10

So much to pray for... prayers for Amber, DO (safe journey and news soon on Bob), TACP (that you survive your visit with your sanity intact) and for peace of mind for you BES. How are you, Caz? CD? PA? MHD? Anyone else?

VERY busy here. Difficult to combine church stuff with keeping the kids occupied. DD tried burning the house down earlier, leaving a frying pan on with oil, until smoke filled the house, because she got sidetracked by DS watching TV...

blackeyedsusan · 12/04/2011 09:47

eeeek Mary! praying for tacp/amber et al.

amberlight · 12/04/2011 10:03

Blimey re DD, Mary Shock. Glad you found that in time...

thejaffacakesareonme · 12/04/2011 10:09

Prayers for everyone. Glad the pil are flying the kids up Tacp, I wouldn't fancy the drive! Praying that the trip goes well.

Amber - praying the chemo today goes well.

V busy here too. Trying not to let DS1 play the wii all the time, but finding it difficult to get him to do anything else that gives me a little time to get on with stuff.

MadHairyMilkEggonEasterDay · 12/04/2011 11:33

Prayers for your trips TACP and DO

Prayers for you Amber with the chemo today.

Mary Shock re dd, so glad it was discovered!! Prayers for you with your busy week.

amberlight · 12/04/2011 17:45

Chemo done. They had a fight to find a vein this time so will be putting in some amazing under the skin tube next time. Feeling a bit Envy but nothing too bad. Thanks for prayers...appreciated.

MadHairyMilkEggonEasterDay · 13/04/2011 09:56

Amber....hate it when they can't find a vein...so painful and faffy. Hope you're feeling a little less green today and can get some rest. Thinking of you and praying for you.

Please can you pray for a very lovely lady from my church. She is dying of cancer and very near to the end now (she is elderly.) Can you pray for a 'good ending iykwim. That it will be peaceful and painless for her, and peaceful for the family. There is a real feeling of her 'going home', please pray for it to be smooth. :(

CaptainDippy · 13/04/2011 11:24

Of course, MHS - I hope the end is peaceful for her, she will be with Jesus soon Smile

Hope your time away goes ok TACP, you are v.brave Wink xx

Thinking of you amber, glad the next lot of Chemo is over now - let's pray for lots more shrinkage WinkSmile xx

Hope you have a lovely time away DO and your BIL's arm doesn't cause him too much trouble xx

Madness in DippyLand as usual, more so with the holidays - just trying to keep on top .....

Friend from Uni's sis (the one who was involved in the horrific car smash) had an op to insert 2 rods either side of her neck yesterday - for stability and healing. Prayers the op when well and she recovers from it ok, obviously v risky at the moment. No other change apart from that.

amberlight · 13/04/2011 13:24

Much prayer for your church friend, MHD.

Much prayer for all of the rest of you too.

I'm not feeling Envy but very tired. Wonder why I'm at work?? Could be because the bloomin' bank manager wants to come in and I'm the only one who knows how to prepare the paperwork. Oh well.

PositiveAttitude · 13/04/2011 13:39

Sorry for absence!

Quick prayer request - DD2 has just been in a car crash. please pray. Will update as soon as I know more.

blackeyedsusan · 13/04/2011 15:46

prayed pa

MadHairyMilkEggonEasterDay · 13/04/2011 16:41

Still praying PA...keep us updated.

CazandBelle · 13/04/2011 16:55

Praying PA - I hope your DD is ok as well as anyone else involved.

I'm ok, thanks for asking. I'm starting to look pregnant so most people are beginning to guess now. Incredibly rounded for only 10 weeks!

Had a wobble in school assembly today. We say "He's got the whole wide world" with the verse included "he's got a tiny little baby in his hands". I didn't know whether to feel so thankful for the truth of this or anger that my baby was taken away instead of being kept safe on earth. Horrible mix of emotions.

Life is very busy at the moment. We're busy organising Belle's fundraising day and our story is in the local paper today.

www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/gwentnews/8970993.Stillbirth_parents_raise_funds_in_tot___s_memory/

I guess on the whole I'm feeling pretty calm - and I know that is the result of many prayers, so thank you. xxx

MadHairyMilkEggonEasterDay · 13/04/2011 17:21

Caz, the article is great and made me cry. You look lovely :) Such a great thing you are doing, couldn't imagine anything better to honour Belle's memory. :)

Must be such a mix of emotions for you. I can't imagine. :( Glad you are feeling calm and well, and lovely you're beginning to show, second babies often show sooner, muscles have done it all before and remember! Prayers and hugs.

amberlight · 13/04/2011 17:51

Caz, many prayers... Sad

amberlight · 13/04/2011 17:51

pressed wrong key

and many prayers for your dd, PA...

thejaffacakesareonme · 13/04/2011 18:01

PA - prayers for DD - hope everyone involved is OK.

Caz - prayers for you too.

PositiveAttitude · 13/04/2011 18:33

Many thanks for the prayers. She was the only person who was injured. Had to be got out by the fire brigade. Taken to hospital on a spinal board with a neck brace on. Lots of xrays, all ok, just bruised spine and neck. Also head injury. DH has bought her home. She is in shock and is emotionally a wreck! She cant talk coherently and is making no sense. I am surprised they let her home tbh.
Thanks for the prayers. Me and DH are just going to see if we can move the car to somewhere a bit better.

amberlight · 13/04/2011 19:24

Keep a very close eye on her PA. If there's any sign of deterioration, get 999 out straight away. I've done enough first aid to know that someone who's not making sense after a head injury is still very much at risk and I'm not impressed that they've released her. Prayers aplenty.

DutchOma · 13/04/2011 19:30

And my prayers too. I have no experience of this at all but will keep praying that you will manage to keep her calmand at home.

MaryBS · 13/04/2011 20:08
