BES has no computer at the moment and has sent me a very comprehensive list of prayers partners.
Rather than put this is the middle of an ongoing thread I thought it would be better to start a new thread, so all the names stay at the top.

amberlight - for her work supporting people with autism, and for health and happiness for her and her family.

BlackEyedSusan - for all that she has to juggle as a single mum, for ds who has ASD, dd who might have ASD and dyspraxia (waiting for appointments) and for her mum. Also for the computer to be mended

Bloomed- New year, fresh start

Cocoaleaves - for issues around the safety of her DS.

Colabottles64- struggling with infertility.

DancingUnicorn - new to the thread, most welcome

Dontbesilly - for strength as she grieves the loss of her dad, for her DD's school issues, and for Dont's recovery from a car accident. For DH and his recovery from a heart attack and finding her phone!

drspouse - for happiness and a warm welcome in her new church and for dcs

DutchOma - with gratitude for all she does to support people on this thread and elsewhere.

EddSimcox - for her dd, for her relationship with DP and her parents and her growing faith.

FaithLoveandHope - for her anxiety and depression to lift and for her to be able to avoid falling into despair and self-harm, and for her relationship with her DSD.

girlandboy- family and faith

Lissette-anxiety and thanks for lots of prayers for others on this thread.

MadHairDay - for her health, and those pesky lungs. For her friend.

Musicposy- CT scans, diagnosis and treatment, giving thanks that some progress with diagnosis has been made

Nickel- for church and her disability, and a friend moving on from DV

NoRoomForALittleOne - Giving thanks that he operation was successful. For freedom from pain and recovery.

Orchidflower1- for help with her anxiety and the relationship with her husband

PositiveAttitude - for her whole family, but especially her DD1 who has been depressed, her dgs who was born early and poorly, her mum and dad, her DH and his work. Above all, we pray for PA herself, who is always there for others when they need her, for her studies, and for a potential house-move.

QoF - for her relationship with her DH.

sadandanxious- for help with anxiety

StillSmallVoice MIL has an invasive malignant melanoma for dd and historical abuse investigation.

Tunnocks - after the loss of her husband
Trazzletoes- for her young DS, Joe, who is having treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital- bereavement, losing her DH

TUO - who has had to withdraw from the thread for a while through business in real life.

Zombie clan- remembering Candy and MummyLin

And also thinking of friends who haven't visited for a while, or who pop in only occasionally, including: abbsismyhero, ALittleFaith, Anjelica27, Aphie, applesandpears33, Badders123 Bluetinkerbell, clementineorange, CoolCarrie, DancingUnicorn, FlappysMammyAndPopeInExile guinessgirl (how is your friend?)HardyLeodicean itshappenedagain, Kaykat, JugglingFromHereToThere, ktef, LarrytheCucumber legohurtswhenyoustandonit,LifeOfBriony,LittleBootsTheBabe, Mary, originalmavis, ozymandiusking Pandora97, pklme SESthebrave shortscotty,SingaSong12 SparkyStars Sugarpiehoneyeye The Woollyback'sWife Weegiemum, ZippidiSoozi and others.

And, as always, prayers for anyone I've forgotten (with apologies), for all who lurk but don't post, and for newbies who may not have posted yet.

will do.

Becca19962014 · 21/08/2017 01:31

Thankyou!

Am remembering you in prayer too.

Becca19962014 · 21/08/2017 13:46

They didn't dump me but it was very confusing.

Madhairday · 21/08/2017 18:48

Praying for relief from pain for you, BES.

Welcome, Becca. I'm so sorry to read about all you've been going through. The whole DLA/pip assessment thing is so stressful, I know well as I am chronically ill. You have support and prayer here. Flowers.

Will miss Cocoa.

BlackeyedSusan · 22/08/2017 07:51

got to go to another town today for dd's appointment. I am not yet moving properly. waiting for cocodamol and got to eat before ibuprofen.

we are going to find out what dd is allergic to hopefully.

ex is driving my car as I can not drive. (or more importantly break in an ememrgency. ) his car is still on holiday. got to pay for him ot go and get it at the weekend.

Madhairday · 22/08/2017 16:40

Off to a and e, sigh, wish me luck.

DancingUnicorn · 22/08/2017 18:17

Oh mhd I'm sorry you're still no better. I hope you were seen quickly and they are able to ease the symptoms a little for you.

Bes how did it go today? Praying your back starts recovering quickly. Must be awful.

I have my 12 week scan tomorrow. I'm very anxious, and have really awful memories of the scan department from a few months ago. I'd appreciate any prayers you might be able to offer to help me stay calm.

BlackeyedSusan · 22/08/2017 18:47

oh no mhd. have been praying for you and those pesky lungs. hope whatever you are off for gets seen quickly.

(can't brake, so would break if don't break. obviously the coffee had not hit the system when I posted this morning. )

appointment went ok. although it was after the appointment that dd mentioned that she gets a bit of a reaction to peanuts as well. aggghhhh. fortunately we were still with the epi-pen nurse. who was able to confirm that peanut testing was also requested.

we are converted to the town hospital rather than the city one. it was as quick to get to and better for parking.

we have another referral to an ongoing problem that the dr spotted and for which we have already been through a couple of parts of the system.

we now have autism/dyspraxia referral in the system.
today's referral to allergy clinic
today's referral to ongoing problem.

next week I am going to ask about orthotics. as her walking is poor without. and she is pronating again and I do not want her going back to not being able to walk. must do the physio again.

DancingUnicorn · 22/08/2017 19:27

Sounds like a lot of positive steps for dd bes. Must be really stressful for you. Lots and lots to worry about. ❤️

BlackeyedSusan · 22/08/2017 22:02

ps praying for your scan tomorrow. hope it goes well. will you find out boy or girl?

DancingUnicorn · 23/08/2017 04:06

They can't tell this early bes. And then after that... well there are still discussions about it in the Dancing household!

Madhairday · 23/08/2017 06:26

Thanks. Been admitted for IVs. Exhausted after no sleep.

DancingUnicorn · 23/08/2017 06:51

Oh, no sleep is rubbish mhd. I hope they give you some peace today so you can rest. Praying the iv starts to kick in quickly.

DancingUnicorn · 23/08/2017 13:35

Thank you all for your prayers. My scan this morning was amazing. ❤️

BlackeyedSusan · 23/08/2017 18:32

I thought we found out ds was a boy at the 12 week scan.

hoping you get some more sleep mhd

ds has been outside playing with some kids visiting one of the neighbours. it had gone reeasonably well.

Madhairday · 24/08/2017 08:57

Not much sleep:

Midnight: we'll just do your last IV antibiotic

2am: we'll just do your blood pressure and 02 says

5am: we'll just move you to another ward

5 30am: we'll just do your blood pressure and 02 says

6am: we'll just do your first IV antibiotic

7am: breakfast time!

Rather light headed.

Praying for all those getting GCSE results, including DD

Madhairday · 24/08/2017 08:57

Says should be sats

DancingUnicorn · 24/08/2017 09:09

Really hope your dd is happy today mhd. And praying the antibiotics kick in soon so you can get out of there to rest properly.

Madhairday · 24/08/2017 12:15

She's thrilled, and so are we. Very, very proud.

DancingUnicorn · 24/08/2017 12:20

Brilliant!! Well done mini mhd!!

Lissette · 25/08/2017 19:50

Congrats to Dancing on amazing scan and to mini MHD on great results.

I feel your pain re child allergies Bes.

BlackeyedSusan · 26/08/2017 21:40

my back was a lot better but a kick yesterday has jarred it again and it is very sore today. however, we are supposed to be going out tomorrow somewhere nice that requires a lot of driving. I really want it better enough for tomorrow. back to full on meds again I think.

Dutchoma · 27/08/2017 06:44

What a shame BES. I do hope you get your day out.

OP posts:
Madhairday · 27/08/2017 08:39

I hope your back is much better this morning, BES, and that you enjoy your day out.

I'm so very pleased about your scan, dancing unicorn Smile

I'm not so well today, I think it's just the effect of the IVs, feel so very bone tired. But we'll get there. Going to the chapel service this morning.

BlackeyedSusan · 27/08/2017 10:06

we are going to give it a go. I have packed hot waterbottle and two flasks of hot water.

not told the children where we are going so going to pick up ex and see if I can drive. if not we will drop at two churches and do washing after. ex will go on the train tomorrow.
