We had an ambulance out for Bob late last night as he just got into a panic about not being able to breathe. The managed to settle him and between us decided that he was better off in his own bed than in hospital.
He feels a bit better this morning but not realy well.

Bluetinkerbell · 19/04/2012 08:18

oh DO that must have been terrifying! hope he feels better soon! Praying!

MaryBS · 19/04/2012 08:19

Prayers for DO's Bob and for Weegie, and for all in need of prayer...

weegiemum · 19/04/2012 08:28

Oh DO, many prayers for Bob, and for you too. That must have been pretty scary. Hope you can both have a restful time today.

amberlight · 19/04/2012 08:58

DO, hecky heck - much prayer for you both...I think the GP is going to have to do something more than say 'oh well'.

SESthebrave · 19/04/2012 09:04

Praying as I read....

Sorry on phone and all a bit hectic but think of you all frequently. Will post properly when things have calmed down! All ok here but ploughing through last few days of work before ML starts from 30th April!

Teaandcakeplease · 19/04/2012 10:19

Oh DO how scary.

Can you send up a quick prayer about my car? It's in having it's MOT today, right now in fact. It's 9 years old now, but my bank account is not terribly healthy at the best of times, so I really won't be able to pay if it is costly. Being divorced and my ExH not being able to give me much money, as his 4 month contract has ended and he's busy trying to get another job. I may need to find a money tree Grin

DutchOma · 19/04/2012 10:20

Maybe we could send you a money acorn?

blackeyedsusan · 19/04/2012 11:17

I am up...and just about awake, slightly soggy at both ends as cleaning up a "flood"

small boy had the terrors last night and was tucked up on the sofa 'til he calmed down. consequently, late for bed. (not quite as bad as tuo) oh and it had nothing to do with finding writing assessessment standards files in the dfe archives and getting distracted, oh no [needs to get a life emotion]

have been reading thrrough and praying. hope your mot went ok.

Hopeful signs here regarding a possible job opportunity.

The charity I worked for for several years .....

< stops to take phone call from them >

.... has just offered me a job !

To work afternoons in pre-school with possible 1 to 1 work with a child in the mornings ( only til July though, but still ! )

So, thanks for prayers Smile

DutchOma · 19/04/2012 11:47

Wonderful news Juggling

BES hope your day is better than your night.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 19/04/2012 11:58

It made me smile when it mentioned "1 to 1 work" in their email as that's particularly what bes put next to my name for people to pray for - even though I'm happy to do other work with children too. Smile

madhairday · 19/04/2012 12:50

That's brilliant juggling!

Praying for Bob and you, DO, what a horrible night for you :(

Continuing to pray for you weegie, esp for the IV treatment.

Keeping you all in my prayers.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 19/04/2012 13:24

Praying for everyone else now - especially all those with such health challenges to cope with as well as everything else we have to juggle with in this life !

jan2011 · 19/04/2012 13:24

hey all :)
Juggling that sounds great news! very exciting.

DO im very sorry to hear about Bob, how are things now? its so frustrating when the doctors it seems cannot be bothered to put the effort in to finding the best treatment which can take time, patience and commitment - been in similar situations with healthcare providers!

teaandcake trust that your car went through the MOT. in a similar situation myself- if something happens with the car i won't be able to afford it.

Tuo hope you had a better day in work today praise God he is answering prayers

And the rest of you - So many of us with different needs, may God meet all our needs out of his riches in glory, a nice thought that He is looking upon each of us and nothing is too difficult for him or beyond his reach.

thanks for those thinking of me and praying...im just exhausted at the minute with it all and trying to keep on top of everything. God is helping me. yesterday didn't go well. i am praying for the courage for me to be able to get in touch with my pastor again, if thats the right thing to do.

in the meantime, i have an interview on Monday -its to volunteer in a charity helpline one day a week. i have a lot of form filling to prepare for it, and its an hour and a half long interview. i am worried as to how i would cope with this if i got it given the way things are - but i really want to do something. please pray for this interview.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 19/04/2012 14:22

Thank you all for your encouragement - it was nice to share my news with you Smile
I'll be praying for your interview on Monday especially, jan x

Please send up a quick prayer for me and the DCs over the weekend as DH will be away until Monday (He's in Australia for 10 days exploring the outback in Queensland - at least we've had a few messages from him as he bought a new gadget recently from which he can send emails)

Teaandcakeplease · 19/04/2012 14:34

Send me the acorn DO it will cost £300 to fix Sad Oh well God has always come through before

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 19/04/2012 14:56

"Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home"

(did I quote that before ? I'm fond of that old song ATM)

Hope you can find the money to get your car fixed tea - thinking it could have been worse ? Ouch though Smile

jan2011 · 19/04/2012 14:56

sorry to hear teacake these things don't always go smoothly - will pray for God to provide you are right he won't let you down

Hi, can anyone join this thread?

Becaroooo · 19/04/2012 17:10

DO Oh, I am so sorry to hear of yours dh's ill health...night time is awful when you feel vulnerable/unwell isnt it? I will be thinking and praying for you both. I am sure he was better in his own bed.

weegie Praying for you too

juggling Praying for strength for you....I hate it when dh is away too.

Well, ds2 was ok at pre school after being upset at first (cue me with stomach in knots all morning!)

GP appt went ok too in that she has referred me to the gynae (long standing issues) and a spinal/osteo consultant for my back. Turns out I am severely anaemic (so that why I am so tired!!!) and basically if my iron level goes down much more I will need a tranfusion Sad In fact my iron level is lower now than it was after I collapsed after having ds2!!!! Shock Oh dear. At least I know why I am in bed at 8pm every night now though!!! Smile

Thank you for all your prayers. My cousins funeral is weds next week and - as I knew really - I cant go Sad

star If they will take me they'll take anyone!!!! Grin

DutchOma · 19/04/2012 17:45

Yes Star anyone is very welcome to join
Becaroo we are very pleased to have you too and from what I can see you've jumped quite in and are happy. That's all that matters.

Becaroooo · 19/04/2012 17:49

Starwisher · 19/04/2012 17:50

Thank you!

What do I do? ! X

madhairday · 19/04/2012 18:31

Welcome Starwisher, have seen you around a few threads and it's great to see you here. Basically we share prayer requests and answers, but generally mull on life too, there's no formula involved. Some of us pray as we read, some of us make a list to pray for in a prayer time, just whatever people feel comfortable with. Feel free to jump in and ask for any prayer or share any difficulties. :)
