chips CD????? Are you pg for goodness sake????

MaryBS · 06/09/2006 22:35

yes, and its a boy!

MaryBS · 07/09/2006 05:27

Woohoo! I've just finished typing up my "outline and thoughts on Luke's gospel", ready for my tutorial on Saturday (yes I know its a silly time in the morning, but I was awake anyway...). It runs to 12 pages of A4 typing (21 pages of scribble). Now I just have to read it through, before I hand it in... but not now though. Thank GOD that is done though!

DumbledoresGirl · 07/09/2006 08:13

Hi. I am afriad it doesn't look good for my mother. My father phoned me after I had spoken to naswm and my mother has had a pretty major bleed into the brain. She is in intensive care and is having another scan about nowish. As I understand it, the doctors do not feel there is anything they can do for her. It is down to her, and the grace of God, whether she recovers or not. I am distraught as this was so out of the blue. Please pary for mother and our family. I never thought anything like this would happen to any of us.

MaryBS · 07/09/2006 08:45

DG - I am REALLY REALLY sorry to hear that. I'll pray for your mother and father and for you. God bless you dear. {hug}

CaptainDippy · 07/09/2006 10:12

Oh DumbledoresGirl - I am so sorry, how - I am praying for you and your family, especially your father as your struggle to cope with this incredibly sad and difficult situation. No one thinks stuff like this will ever happen to them. I am so sorry it had to happen to you. Still praying for a miracle. [hugs]

Thanks Mary and CD for your posts. My mother's situation really doesn't look good at all and so my brother, sister and I are all trying to fly out to France today or tomorrow. This is all completely beyond me. Please please please pray for us.

MaryBS · 07/09/2006 11:02

DG - praying for you and your family. Take care of yourself, and safe journey at this awful time. Are your parents Catholic too? If so, I pray that faith in God will be a comfort for you all.

CD - don't be scared, put your trust in the Lord and your hands on the steering wheel, your eyes on the mirror and the road and your feet whereever they need to be.

CaptainDippy · 07/09/2006 11:24

Praying for your mum DG, and your entire family. Please Lord give the Dumble family peace at this time - and God, if it your will, please heal her mum. Amen.

naswm · 07/09/2006 16:39

Hi everyone. I'm really worrying about DG. It doesnt sound good about her mum. The whole thing has been such a shock for them all. I am praying, but feel so helpless. I wish I could 'be there' for DG becuase she must be suffering so much. [naswm feeling helpless emoticon ]

Nanou1 · 07/09/2006 16:46

Hi all . sorry did not post. bad day today with all sorts of problems cropping up... so to read about DG. how awful... where are they in france? anything i can do from here just let me know. also it is common in france to ask for second opinions so they should not hesitate. thank you again for your prayers for dh and i. still waiting to hear. had a bad night last night with dd so that does not help either ... you are all in my thoughts. x

MaryBS · 07/09/2006 17:33

Naswm, I kmow what you mean. All we can do is offer our prayers to God and place it in His hands. I will continue to pray for them

Podmog - glad to hear your scan went well. All this talk of babies... I'm starting to get broody! ;)

PandaG · 07/09/2006 18:00

Nanou - thinking of you.

Podmog - so glad to hear your good news

CaptainDippy · 07/09/2006 18:53

Poor, poor DG I think you are doing the best you possibly can for her naswm - praying for her and letting her know that you are there is more than enough - in situations like these, it is so important to know you are loved. xxxx

Continuing to pray for you and DH, Nanou1 - Let us know when there is any news. Hoping it resolves positively soon.

WAHOO! Great news about scan Podmog, despite feeling really crappy and sicky right now, I am ing lots and lots - 2 of each How lovely!! Yippeee!

Broody MaryBS!!!!!? Surely not!

Xavielli · 07/09/2006 19:25

Don't be CD - You're having twin boys this time.

Go on MaryBS! Do it! Go on! Do it! lol

nearlythree · 07/09/2006 20:28

Dumbledoresgirl, praying that your mum is aware of God's presence right now, and that you and your family are being held in his hand.

Nanou, hope all gets sorted.

Glad about all the good news!

Dd1 had another great day and dd2 a better one. But dd1 has a temp - think it's just her MMR side effect. We are thinking about giving dd2 her MMR next week as there are outbreaks nearby, but with he rbeing so poorly lately it is taking some courage. Can you please pray for dh and I to be guided as to what is best for her. Thank you!

Xavielli · 07/09/2006 21:41

Peace, please Lord.

nearlythree · 07/09/2006 21:45

Amen

MaryBS · 08/09/2006 07:08

Xavielli, praying that God, who knows the hearts of all those involved in that family's heartrending story, will bring sanity to those who make the decisions, and that the truth will prevail.

N3, praying for your DDs and their jabs, and that you know the right thing to do.

Praying for DG's mother and for DG and her family, may the Lord bless them and watch over them.

CD praying that your sickness soon goes.

As for me and babies - thats it. DH is adamant we won't have any more, I don't know if I've got the strength to have any more, and anyway we've got rid of all the baby stuff . Of course, if God disagrees, I'll happily take the consequences...

Please pray for our Vicar, he needs a rest, before he has a nervous breakdown! And please pray for his 'long suffering' wife

CaptainDippy · 08/09/2006 10:46

Praying for that poor mum and her family - how awful Don't have the words to say, except a cry to God to help them in their time of need!

Praying for wisdom about inoculations nearlythree - I had a reminder from the drs today that DD2 has her meningitis booster in Oct. Completely forgot they even had to have that!

Praying that your Vicar gets some rest MaryBS - How is prep for the Garden Party going??

I am feeling a bit sick this morning, but not too bad - needing to pee all the darn time - driving me nuts!!!!! Glad it is Friday!

Yey - the stickers I was trying to print out for the NCT have actually printed correctly - Miracles do happen!
