CaptainDippy · 27/07/2006 20:25

Hello there!!

"Never doubt that a community of thoughtful, committed women, filled with the power and the love of God, using gifts they have identified and developed, and pursuing passions planted in them by God - never doubt that these women can change the world"

Need I say more (thanks for that quote MaryBS!)

Well, here's a summary of July's requests - Do update if you can!!

MaryBS - Prayers for her mum coming to terms with her vocation. Been having vivid dreams and would like for them to stop (have they?) DH's nephew was adopted at the age of 3 and is now exhibiting some bad behavioural problems, mum and dad asking about "giving him back" etc. Very difficult situation. Prayers for study etc as she undertakes the course to become a Reader at church. Difficult situation regarding the church hall needs to be resolved. DD has a class mate who keeps hitting her etc, MaryBS unsure of how to handle the situation. Lots of prayers for non-Chiristian DH as he becomes more involved in church life (YEY! ) Prayers for situation between Vicar and a member of choir and finally prayers for a friend who has been meeting with Social Workers re: possibly adopting today! Pudmog - Feeling nauseous still (16 weeks PG, due on Jan 17th) and has chest infection. Has been struggling to control DS' asthma and has been really, really struggling with church (one couple in particular making it very hard.) Continuing prayers for the situation regarding racist accusations levelled at her children's school.

Twiga - DH's Uncle has Oesophogeal cancer and is very, very ill.

harrisey - Has found somewhere to live when her and her family move to Glasgow to attend Bible College in Sept. Praise God!!

Xavielli - Dad is home from hospital and is doing well. Lots of prayers for her sister who has had to have an abortion following the discovery that her unborn baby had Edward's Syndrome. Prayers as they cope with this loss.

longwaytogo - Ongoing prayers for her DD's health problems, especially for her as she attends Allergy Clinic on Aug 31st Prayers too for her nan and grandad who were involved in a car accident; although they were not seriously hurt, they are battered and bruised and coming to terms with the shock of it all. Lots of prayers for her friend who is going to adopt a little boy - they are meeting up for the 1st time very soon!!

JessicaandRebeccasMummy - DH had another operation on July 5th - Is going to be discharged from the army very soon, lots of prayers for them as a family - finding new job, home etc etc.

Nanou1 - DH didn't get job in the end. Feeling very and right now - lots of prayers needed for reassurance and acceptance - and for another to job to come up very soon!! How did DD do in France Nanou1 btw??

TigerT - DD had to have another op on her head on July 6th as wound was becoming infected - praying that her little DD is ok, the infection is gone and she is on the road to recovery.

footprint - Struggling with depression and anxiety - has been doing better and was last seen going off on her hols with her family! How are you doing honey??

katzg - Didn't get job , but is feeling positive and praying hard that another job opportunity will come up soon as her contract on her current job runs out on Aug 31st. Also prayers for her DD who is under Consultant care for the skin condition Cutaneous Mastocytosis.

PandaG - Currently off on lots of hols - so praying she is having a lovely time! Her youth leader who had cancer died and the service was a beautiful tribute to her.

CatJ - DD4 is still in hospital and is improving, but she is going to require lots of ongoing prayers as she is going to spend quite a bit of time in hospital over the coming weeks / months etc .... Lots of prayers for all the LO's that DD4 is in hospital with.

NotQuiteSoTiredMum - DS2's excema is very bad and keeping them all up at night - Prayers for sleep in that household!!

puddingz - Prayers for the family of a little boy (8 yrs) who was tragically killed in a Hit and Run incident.

naerlythree - Prayers for baby DS who has been very poorly.

I'm sorry to barge in here when I haven't been in for so long. I don't want to be one of those part-time Christians, it's mainly that my feelings go 'beyond' (if that's the right word) Christianity at the moment so I have been a bit confused. I have been doing an Alpha course though which has helped and praying a lot lately not just because of what I'm saying below, but before that.

Thing is, I really need all on Mumsnet who pray right now.. and I really don't mind what they call themselves

My Mum-in-law is dying. She had a brain haemorrahage a week ago, spent a few days on the high dependency unit, semi-conscious some of the time and said a few words to us and then on Tuesday she had another bleed and they told us she could not survive and would die within a couple of hours. But she is still 'here' even though her body is slowly shutting down. I have a strong feeling she is afraid to go even tho medically this probably makes not much sense as the part of her brain that would allow her to think these.. or any.. thoughts is damaged beyond repair. But she always said she was afraid of dying and leaving all her family esp. her grandchildren. And she has been the mainstay of the family... very much loved and respected by all her large family and everyone who knows her, and has spent her later life mostly in her kitchen cooking lovely creations for everyone and advising us all about things. She was doing this until last Thurs night! She is only 66

My DH is being so strong. I have come back down south with the kids (where we live.. they are up north) because I felt I needed to get the kids out of the MIL and FIL's house where we were staying as they were being noisy and, well just kids really. And DS2 doesn't sleep when away so nobody else could rest when they were not doing their bedside vigil at the hospital.

DH does not have much in the way of spiritual beliefs but I suggested this morning that he tell her it's ok to go.. that we will all be ok and not to be afraid. He has done this. She is getting worse, her breathing is awful and she she has lots of horrible symptoms of dying that the DH, his dad, sisters and brother are all sitting there watching. She would hate that; she had so much dignity.

So am praying that she passes quickly. They expected her to go within 2 hours of her oxygen being removed on Tues night. She has no drugs, no intervention but pain relief.. but she's still here.

Will you help me pray that she passes soon, if this is the right thing to do? And I think it is.

Thank you

SJ xx

Nanou1 · 01/09/2006 16:14

oh SJ... so for you all. i would wish for the same and it is good you advised your dh to tell her. you and your family will be in my prayers too. Take care and strength to you and everyone. [hugs] [hugs]

CaptainDippy · 01/09/2006 18:02

Oh, SleepyJess! So glad that you came here to tell us this and to get us to pray that your MIL would go quickly and peacefully - It does sound like she is fighting, feisty lady!! I am so glad your DH told that it was "ok" to go now - I told DH's grandmother the same thing and she sent within hours. How for the fmaily to have to watch this strong, dignified woman slipping awya like this - praying for wisdom and strength for them all. [hugs]] We are here if you need us - anytime. xxxx

CD... I'll cut and paste sleepyjess request for the other thread.

SJ.... I'm praying honey. I'm so sorry.

SleepyJess · 01/09/2006 18:17

Thank you. Did I post on wrong thread?

I can't get hold of DH. I am wondering if anything is happening. He has had his phone on (silent) at all other times in the hospital.

sj thinking and praying for you hope your mil passes beautifully!

Probably no consolation but FIL went similar way, and he left us in a dignified way with his whole family there, and I'm sure he was waiting for that special moment!

He looked very comfy, and literally took a big breath, sighed as he passed, as if to say ok I'm coming lord!

Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family!

sleepysooz · 02/09/2006 12:39

marslady - how did it go, any luck! and did you get your study night in?

MarsLady · 03/09/2006 13:32

sleepysooz... you have to come join us on the part 6 thread!

But yes! I got to do my study day and a night of salsa dancing! No sign of the baby. The only day that would be tricky for me next week is Wednesday as that's when DD1 starts her new senior school, but it's half day only and I want to be home for her.

Anyhoo......... see the link below and come join us Thanks for your prayers.
