MJIM - have got another 10 weeks to go yet before 'Jerry' arrives! I am sure that I am as big now as I was when I had ds.

Praying for each and every one of you.

Ooh, a quickie - could you please pray that the viewing we have on our house tomorrow at 10.30 goes well? Thank you ladies x

Weegiemum · 06/06/2008 21:57

Can I ask for prayers for a friend from uni who has just been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Its benign, but cant be removed, so at best she has 10 years, and in that time will lose sight, all power down her right side and hearing eventually too.

She has 3 dcs, age 2, 5 and 8. Ad a very distraught husband. Having followed what OJ and Steve are going through, it sounds like she will have a slower but no less inevitable deterioration over time.

notsofarnow · 06/06/2008 22:35

mjim as I understand it from dd if they are unfit to sit exams then they get predicted grades from their mocks.

weegiemum tht is so hard. God hold that family.

my tooth is much better just have thrush now as result of all ab's

Weegiemum · 07/06/2008 01:08

oooh nsfn. I still have thrush from antib's last week for UTI. Itchy city!

helibee · 07/06/2008 01:18

hi, i was just wondering if i could join this thread. It's so nice to find fellow mners who can support you in prayer-i truly thank God that i found this site, it has been an amazing support to me.

I have fibromyalgia, CFS, IBS and I'm in pain all day every day, however my husband and i were blessed last summer with a beautiful baby boy. I also lost my mum 2 years ago to a brain tumour (am praying for your friend weegiemum) and not having her to share in my sons life is heartbreaking and i'm feeling very lonely without my mum. Please can you pray for me about that. Hope thats ok. Thank you x

amber32002 · 07/06/2008 07:27

Hi Helibee. The people on this thread are really lovely and have been a huge support and strength for me in recent months. Shall be praying for you in all you're going through. Coping with a little one when you're in pain is a huge challenge, especially with no mum there for you.

Prayers for everyone this morning.

I'm off to a scary conference for the church, so please can I ask for prayers that I'll cope with it ok?

ZipadiSuzy · 07/06/2008 09:51

helibee - Welcome, sorry you are having a rough time with health, my dh misses his mum, we had twins after she died. You naturally want to share your childrens love, its infectious. Prayers for you.

amber - prayers for your 'scary conference'

OOH, and prayers for 'Itchy cities' rofl (at termonology)

Prayers for my ds1 who is struggling with life atm

ZipadiSuzy · 07/06/2008 09:54

CC - Prayers for your house viewing, its Murphys law you'll sell when baby due!

CD - Have you found a rainbow to climb yet! (darkness into light)

Mary -

SS - Are you all better?

Swaliswan · 07/06/2008 10:24

Good morning all.

Welcome helibee I'm sorry that you are finding things hard without your mum there. I'd be lost without my mum at times as my DH goes away a bit.

Amber I'm praying that the Lord carries you today while you are doing a scary conference. I know how difficult this must be for you and I don't know where you find the courage from (well actually, that would be God, wouldn't it?!). We are very lucky to have someone who truly understand what is is like to have ASD sharing that with the Church. It is people like you who put others first that makes a real difference. I know that there are many other people with ASD who would love to explain to people within the church what it is like but God chose you to be the one to do it. Wow! That is such a blessing!

Sooz, I'm feeling a bit more boing this morning I'm still feeling very tired and like I've got a black cloud trying to follow me around. I keep on having to shake off the thoughts that are going round in my head.

I'm feeling a bit guilty as I've given my mum D&V who has now given it to my dad I know that this is going to sound really selfish, but can you please pray that I cope with DD by myself when I go to the hairdressers this afternoon? I need to have my hair inkeeping with our uniform policy for monday when I start my NVQ contact time otherwise I'm going to be a bit when they start asking me about the uniform policy and the infection control policy.

Please will you also say prayers of thanks for a few things? DD cut a tooth yesterday so at least I know why she has been a bit funny with her food (the mirror image tooth is going to come through any day but that didn't stop her eating two weetabix, a pot of fruit and a cornflake or two this morning!). DD also took four steps all by herself yesterday and that included having to turn around! I think that she will be a lot happier when she can walk by herself. Prayers of thanks also for me getting out there and driving to Tesco this morning. I only started driving again two weeks ago after a two year gap and four years since I drove a manual car. It has taken a lot of courage to get back behind the wheel and I didn't feel like driving this morning. But, I did it and it was fine! Driving is going to make such a difference to my freedom and makes things like going to Tesco a lot easier.

CaptainDippy · 07/06/2008 18:06

Zooooooming by! No rainbow yet! Just waiting ........

Hope all goes ok at the conference amber, praying for you sweetheart. xx

Praying for WM and NSFN with horrid infections, poor things. xx

Payers for WM's Uni friend and her family - such a situation for them all. Praying they find light in the darkness. Hope.

sorry you are feeling yukky honey Hope you feel better asap, prayers for your poor bro too. Let usk now what happens.

CC - hope house viewing went ok earlier!!

Hello helibee - welcome! So hard for you without your mum around to help Praying for strength and light. xx You DS is completely yummy btw

Praying for you with the driving SS, very brave! Hope all went ok at the hairdressers, when is DH back? Hope your parents are better soon!

amber32002 · 07/06/2008 20:23

Thank you to everyone!!! I've survived it! The thought of all the prayers kept me going in the afternoon bit of the conference when the presenter hadn't been told about me (as far as I can tell) and was spraying perfume sprays round, throwing chocolates etc, and there was huge microphone feedback and impromptu 'discussion groups'. So exhausting for me. The rest of it was very, very well planned and the conference room people put huge effort into thinking about how to keep me safe.
Came home and just slept. Then wrote a quick unofficial report for the Bishops.
Thank again - you're all marvellous.

amber32002 · 07/06/2008 20:25

PS SS, I drive an automatic now - so much easier.

And more prayers for everyone else too. I will get my brain working again soon, honest...

CaptainDippy · 08/06/2008 09:10

Glad it went ok amber
How are you feeling today mjim? A bit better I hope - praying your bro will be better for Wed.

I'm off to a baby conference thing (to work - boo!) today so no church (tut tut) I think we've decided to leave our church for definite now ..... prayers apprecaited. Both DH and I are struggling with lots of different issues atm, life is tough. No idea what we are goin to do about the car either .....

Prayers for OJ & Steve, Happy Fathers Day

DutchOma · 08/06/2008 10:47

Just been in touch with CVQ. She does need our prayers very much. She needs to know that she is loved. She needs to know that things will get better. She needs to know that the ADs will help, but take time. I don't know what thread she is on at the moment, but the prayer is the most needed, if anyone of you has any energy to spare. Love from sunny Croatia, although it tipped it down yesterday.

ZipadiSuzy · 08/06/2008 13:22

Hia DO, rained yesterday am here in Notts England, and soooooo hot today, have had to come in to cool off! so v.simliar to Crotia! - still crotcheting 9ins squares for you! although had a lull this week cause dd wanted a blanket for her dolly pram!

Prayers for CVQ that you find strength to manage each day, each moment, like CD hope you can find a rainbow to climb out onto to find light and happiness.

CC - Hot eh!!!!! prayers for your faith to stay strong.

CD - Prayers for solutions to your struggle in life atm, prayers for you to find a new church with new friends [samile] and {{{{{pooh}}}} to your car!!!!!! not quite sure that would help though oh and prayers for your meeting today!

Right, must find twins some suncream, before they turn into little mini scratchings!!! yummy
