Mary is right - he WILL end up in a care home til he is 16/17 and then ...... ?? He is v.unlikely to get a foster placement now. Future is v.grim for the poor lad. Keep praying ..... xxxx

Nanou1 · 06/10/2006 11:14

how old is liam? i can't remember . was thinking... maybe be stupid but maybe he needs to spend some time helping in a farm in the middle of somewhere in wales or scotland. you know... somewhere 2/3 miles to the next farm type of thing...a charitable family maybe out there might care for him? it would give him a chance to get close to nature through hard work getting your hands dirty thisistheproduceofyourwork etc and find himself? and be valued for who he is and who he will become? are there some christian charities helping with that out there? or i am living in coocoo (how do you spell that?!) land and logistically it can't be done?

CaptainDippy · 06/10/2006 11:23

Beautiful wonderful idea Nanou1 - but unlikely - government doesn't really fund stuff like that - only the BBC does!!!!! That would be the perfect solution for poor Liam, but unfortunately opportunities like that are nearly impossible to come by. We've just got to keep praying, praying, praying ......

It is cuckoo btw!!!

OP posts:
weirdbird · 06/10/2006 11:56

Am praying for Liam and the rest of the family Mary, can only hope and pray for a miracle. [hugs]

CD - awwww, 3rd time will be the right time!!!!

Thank you all for the hugs, I did fall asleep till DH got home

CD & Idris the Katherine is also my way of spelling, though no one has called me that for years and years and years (except when I was naughty )

Trying to locate my lost motivation this morning, have far too much tidying up to do having worked all week and MiL is coming round tomorrow so REALLY need to get on with it!!

Nanou1 · 06/10/2006 12:01

hi weirdbird! was thinking that we might be almost neighbours! am ealing common.

weirdbird · 06/10/2006 12:16

Not tooo far away Nanou, we are in Staines

Was only thinking you must be London-ish after your comments about the tube!

Hubby only has SW trains to contend with as he walks once he gets to town, but they are bad enough...

Hello all
Praying for your nephew Mary, and sending you hugs too. so for him and the situation, and praying for your SIL and BIL too, that God shows them what is right for LIam in this situation, regardless of whether they believe in Him or not.

Will pray for gory's DS, and for her situation too.

Praying for motivation for you wierdbird - think I need some too!

LOve to you all xx

Nanou1 · 06/10/2006 12:53

Podmog... thank you for your testimony... that's just what i wanted to hear

MarsLady · 06/10/2006 16:01

Here's a c&p update of Dave.

Hello there you lovely peeps
Just a quickie,I know I always say that and then go on and on and on and........ok you can push a joke too far! We are fast approaching Mon and getting the results,I've done really well at playing ostriches and putting it out of my mind but I have to confess its poking its head up a lot more these past 2 / 3 days.I am ok honest I just catch my breath every now and again
A little prayer point if you don't mind, Dave has been showing signs of GvHD these past few days,nothing too dramatic but he has not been sleeping well because of it [I'm beginning to think there's a conspiracy going on to stop me from sleeping ..Bens toe ,Josh's leg!!!!] its showing itself in the form of a rash on his forehead....very attractive!!!...Its just very very itchy and a little sore ,I'm waiting for him to wake up in the morning and leave his face on the pillow...the docs said at its worst you can shed your skin GREAT. Actually its no where near as bad as that I'm just being a drama queen...got to keep you interested somehow!!
At the beginning the docs said they want to see a bit of GvHD as it shows that Dave's body is detecting foreign bodies,hence it will hopefully attack everything that shouldn't be there.We've seen abit and now we want it to stop!

Being a woman of my word I'll sign off now and let you get on with your day.PLEASE remember us ,please keep on going with us and for us wont you , we still desperately need your help and we are not taking anything for granted..we so appreciate all your support both practically and spiritually..on both counts you've saved our bacon......no offence to any veggies out there!!!

Thanks ladies. Pray that I don't fold under the pressure of this blimming revision. I love Shakey.. but at the moment I'd quite like to say goodbye to him for a while!

Nanou1 · 06/10/2006 16:11

Hi Marslady. Will do . talking of bacon, has a lovely lentil and bacon soup today and it was YUMMY . look after yourself x

MarsLady · 06/10/2006 16:18

Recipe for lentil and bacon soup please. Sounds lovely!

Nanou1 · 06/10/2006 16:24

OK MarsLady - just for you then...

you need: 1 purse + 2.59 pounds + a bit of energy to go to Pret A Manger.

  1. Grab your coat and bag - don't forget your purse or it won't work
  2. Walk eagerly to your local Pret A Manger
  3. Head to the till and ask nicely for a lentil and bacon soup.
  4. Wait patiently and whilst waiting sort out your money.
  5. Grab plastic spoon just in case they forget!
  6. Take Soup from staff, say thank you, pay and leave
  7. Walk back to the office - dont run cos it will spill over
  8. Sit at desk; take coat off and enjoy!!!

better get on with some work now...

MaryBS · 06/10/2006 17:15

Notquitesotiredmum · 06/10/2006 20:57

Agh! Prayers please for ds1 whom I have just cuddled to sleep, v. upset. He seems to have lost all of his friends this week - not sure how it started, but it seems that he has upset someone and then others have been called on to take sides against him. I'll try to chat to some of the other mums on Monday to see what they have heard, but in the meantime, he's one scared and lonely little boy.

Prayers for a quick resolution please, or for courage for me to keep positive with him, as it is sooooo upsetting seeing him so sad.

Prayers for little Liam and for all.

God bless

clumsy · 06/10/2006 21:11

all i can say is wow!!! i just read the entire thread and the love and care you guys omit is fantastic x

MaryBS · 06/10/2006 21:42

Podmog - thats really kind of you, I appreciate it! Your new vicar sounds fantastic!!!! I'm so glad for you!!!!

NQSTM - praying for your DS, whoever said having children was easy???? How old is he? I hope and pray you can sort things out.

Marsy, praying for Dave...

Clumsy - welcome aboard! Well done to you for reading it all, because we do go on a bit sometimes . We've got a good fellowship here, I think. I've often been struck by the support that people give here, WITHOUT judgment of anyone's situation or beliefs.

Hia everybody, had a brill week, even though everyone that visits us have been on holidays, have got stuck in to my cleaning (kim and agie style) I know, I am really proud of myself, my mum will be gobsmacked! (she knows cleaning isn't in my vocabulary)

Anyway, I'm off to church on Sunday with all 3 kids in tow!!!!! I'm amazed, excited, and worried at the same time, as we've not been since June (yes June) I know its been a long time, just couldn't face it with the twins behaviour, but had a break and have taught them to whisper can't wait!(sarcasm) my eldest even whispers loud

Wish me luck and help me pray for peace and wonderfulment (I know thats not a word, but I want to feel that wonder and fulfilment)

Watch it all go wrong, I know I have no faith in a simple visit to church! how hard can it be, (phyching myself up now)can't even spell properly

MaryBS · 07/10/2006 02:54

Sooz - remember Jesus WANTED to see the little children. It will be fine! Praying for you! If its any comfort, the two noisest in our church are my daughter and the Vicar's

Podmog · 07/10/2006 09:24

sleepysooz · 07/10/2006 18:38

After that my request seems little, but please pray for my twins, sickness bug, (will I ever get back to church)
