Just wondering if any of you would mind saying a quick prayer for my brother?

[ROSEgarden]

He's in hospital after having a glass thrown at him, it cut his eye so badly the doctors fear he will be blind in that eye and may even have to remove it

He is very scared and very upset and other than practical stuff i have no idea what else i can do.

I have been falling asleep each night mid prayer for him, if anyone would mind even just keeping him in your thoughts when you pray i and he would be so grateful.
his consultant is going back to see him on monday to find out what steps they need to take, so ive got everything crossed.

big thankyou

That is just awful! The poor man. I'm sure you just being there for him is helping him more than you might realise. I will certainly pray for him and you. Take care, God bless.

Thankyou MummylovesLucy, it means a lot to me

Have been thinking of him since your original thread - really hoping (and praying) for good news for your brother.

Have the police done anything? (hoping I'm not prying - you don't have to answer )

Praying for your brother - how awful for him! May God bless him and take care of him (and of you too)

Thankyou MaryBS.
LewisFan, nothing else been said about police, i know they have been abck AGAIN though but no info of what is actually being done?..am sad as i cant go today, ive got a terrible cold and feels like lumps in my throat so i dont want him to cathc and infections..so going to get his arnica tabs and take mum up to give them to him..thankyou all so much

You're welcome - you know you can always post this request on the prayer thread? Its not compulsory to be a regular, in fact quite the opposite, because we're all a bit bored of praying for each other now

LOL, first time ive laughed all weekend..thanks for that

I've got a terrible sense of humour... .

Hope you feel better soon anyway! And of course, praying that your brother makes a full recovery!

Thankyou MaryBS, im hoping too, got everything crossed

he is in my prayers

Thankyou Chibi, his surgeon is seeing him tomorrow and bringing nother surgeon with him, so i hope there IS something they can do

might be in with him now?

Just wondered if there were any news...

Hello MaryBS, mum called today at 2pm to say hed rang and said he was coming out, not to organise taxi and not to come up, then went...we didnt knwo if he was signing himself out or what..cousin turned up at mums to take her to visit, so she hotfooted it to hosp while mum waited at home..she rang to say he was waiting for meds, brther came on phone and said he would be home when meds arrived..that was 2.30, hes just rang to say meds STILL not there! will be home when they are!..id just stay in again tonight if i were him, yesterday he needed complete bed rest now today he can come home??..still no idea what diagnosis was/is and wether any more treatment needed?..will update as soon as i know, thankyou so much for thinking of us

Well, if they're letting him out, surely that's a good sign? I pray that's the case!

hoping so to Mary, just worried about infection as they were so concerned the other day now theyre now??..will be going to mams after school run, so if hes awake ill see him(across room as im still full of cold)

Any more news???

Hi Mary..been to hosp today he HAS lost all sight now, theyre just hoping he doent pick up any infection to warrant removing it..he has to go back next week, still in lots of pain, but is trying to do practical things now(like sort out police/solicitors) so its good he can focus on that..thankyou for still thinking of us.x

That is awful You are both in my prayers.

Thankyou Mary, just trying to find out things re contact with his children, its an absolute minefeld

ROSEgarden, will say a little prayer tonight for your brother (i've read a bit of your other thread too) will hope for his health to improve and for him to have a happy outcome to his family issues! You are being a super sister, it seems, by the way!

aw thanks chick, thats so nice, although we didnt speak for about 3 years prior to this(not for the want of trying from me though)..im not fussing aorund him, just keeping a safe and watchful eye and trying to do some background practical work for him so hes prepared when it all starts with his wife..thankyou for thinking of us, i didnt realise so many people had read/posted on the thread!

You're probably doing the best thing at the moment, ROSEgarden, you're not interfering and offering even more advice your bro' probably doesn't want coz he probably isn't thinking straight himself yet! The fact you're doing all the boring background work of coveing practicalities like checking if his car needed moving is fab: keep being there for him, you'll be doing som much more for him than he realises yet by keeping extra mundane worries away for him! Hope all goes well for you all as a family, too x

thakyou Yousaidit..i just dont feel i CAN be 'in there' with them all, apart from the fact everyone is fussing around him which he doesnt want(although hes doing a good job of getting them to run around for him), i didnt see him for such a long time, i dont feel i can step back in as his sister a lot has changed, i dont know his friends or his likes and dislikes so doing all o know i can to try and make it that little bit easier..all i can do is pass info on and hope he can use it

Just let him know you are there and you care. Why not write him a letter to say how you feel? Write it, ponder/pray on it, read it again make sure it is what you want to say. Change it if necessary. Give him a day or so to read it, and then ask him what he thinks? Its times like this we can reach out to each other - although it means making yourself vulnerable. At least you will have made the effort though.

Still praying for you and him...
