Good morning!

Prayers for you all this morning, especially FOD, Bird & MHD .

Have a good holiday Amber

I am going to investigate the Ben Cantelon CD later, I think. I've been hearing good things about it.

Sooz - DS also doing GCSE's here - no fun, is it? When the girls have done theirs I have kept a box of their favourite snacks/drinks etc just for them to dip into when needed during study time and I have planned in a few trips to coffee shops together to give us time together and away from the books. It doesn't last long!! then you have the wait for the results and the panic that they havent got what they need

Please could you pray for DD2, who is back in hospital in Lewisham. (is anyone near there??) You probably remember that she had meningitis a few months ago and was in for a week. She has only been fully recovered from that for the last few weeks, now all her symptoms are back and she has been taken back in. Not sure what is going on. I plan to phone today and see if I can speak with the Dr and ask some questions. We feel a long way away from her! She needs a cuddle! Sad

PositiveAttitude · 11/05/2012 07:35

x-posted with you Jan - so good to hear your more positive post about your marriage. Prayers continuing for you.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 11/05/2012 07:38

Prayers for all, from spiders onwards ....

Good to hear positive news from your counselling Jan.

madhairday · 11/05/2012 18:16

Praying for your dd, PA...

PositiveAttitude · 11/05/2012 19:05

Thank you all. Drs have been unable to do a lumbar puncture today, despite 3 tries. She is going to theatre this evening or first thin tomorrow morning to attempt again to see if we can get some answers. Poor DD sounds really down. Sad

DutchOma · 11/05/2012 19:27

I'm so sorry for her. What on earth is going on? Praying for her and for you too.

Apparently Expat's daughter's operation was this afternoon, not yesterday. No doubt God heard our prayers in advance.

blackeyedsusan · 11/05/2012 21:01

I am meditating on the face of a certain police office and doing some slow breathing. it is not good. silent scream oops, now..

DutchOma · 12/05/2012 11:38

I just had a phonecall from ds to ask if I would do a reading for Rose's baptism tomorrow. I'm nearly crying with happiness

blackeyedsusan · 12/05/2012 11:46

oooo how exciting..

and what a lovely name!

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 12/05/2012 11:47

Well the good news is that I haven't had any more bleeding since Wednesday. I am holding my breath and hoping and praying that the Little Bean is still clinging on.

What a horrible week though.. well some of it anyway as we also had an offer accepted on a house. It's certainly been an emotional week!

DutchOma · 12/05/2012 12:14

FoD what a rollercoaster. Here's praying for a sticky bean and a quick sale of the house. And no further fairground rides Smile. Not the best plan when pregnant anyway

birdofthenorth · 12/05/2012 16:17

Praying for you all especially PA's DD, any news? And for FOD -so glad your bleeding has stopped. When is your next scan? Praying for you & your bean, and that a smooth house move will bring you hope, joy & better news.

I am still bleeding quite heavily unfortunately -this is day six now Sad They've offered me another scan on Monday morning so I do hope we will know more than -about whether the baby is ok and hopefully about the source of the bleeding. Please keep praying for us- I will update you on Mon. Praying for you all I the meantime -thanks again for your prayers which have been a great comfort xx

FriendofDorothy · 12/05/2012 18:14

I haven't got a scan booked yet. I need to chase them towards the end of the week. I am assuming it will be a regular 12 week scan unless anything else nightmarish happens.

Hang in there birds.

I have found this thread so helpful.

blackeyedsusan · 12/05/2012 18:36

eek bird. praying that they find answers and a baby still hanging on.

good news fod... hope it stays that way.

h has been and gone. he is popping back tomorrow. ds is having a nap and we are doing homework/occupational therapy.

Prayers Bird

Thanks for prayers for DD2. She is feeling a lot better today. She has had her lumbar puncture done and just waiting for the results now.

Lovely day on a prayer ministry training day at church today. Very exciting stuff. I am really excited about church tomorrow, which I have not been able to say for the past 3 years!!

DutchOma · 12/05/2012 19:40

Goodness, PA, that is really good news on two counts you have there.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 12/05/2012 20:05

So glad to hear your dd is feeling better PA Smile

Teaandcakeplease · 12/05/2012 20:33

Fighting the urge to go onto the Ouija Boards thread and tell her to not even consider doing one, right now Sad

gingercurl · 12/05/2012 23:48

Have been mainly lurking and praying lately.

Could I ask you to pray for my 11 yo nephew. He suffers from several health problems/medical conditions one of which could/probably will limit his life. Lately he has been experiencing some new problems (mainly pain) that the doctors are trying to come to grips with. He's gone from being an active kid to shuffling along like an old man because of pain. He's bright but has recetnly given up on school, Is depressed and has low self-esteem. Lovely, loving, gentle, caring boy. Sad

Tuo · 13/05/2012 00:15

Dropping in in haste...

Prayers for gingercurl's nephew. So sorry to hear he's in so much pain, poor chap. Sad

Prayers that your little one will hang on, FoD, and thanks that s/he's made it this far.

Thanks that your dd is feeling better, too, PA.

And a huge hooray for Rose's baptism, DO. Prayers for a wonderful day.

Prayers for everyone else too. You're all in my thoughts.

Please pray for dd2 as she is baptised and confirmed tomorrow. Also for dd1, that she might be tempted to come along a bit more often. And for my friend, who's acting as dd2's sponsor. And for all the others who are being confirmed tomorrow. And thanks to all of you for your support.

jan2011 · 13/05/2012 08:50

praying for bird, fod - sorry for all you are going through pray Gods grace and mercy surrounds you and your little beans.

praying for your nephew how difficult gingercurl at such a young age.

glad for your dd Tuo how exciting, and PO im glad you are looking forward to church

also DO how great for you to be able to read at your GDDs baptism, thinking of you and Bob too
