Struggling to keep composure

Swaliswan · 29/10/2008 12:52

Praying for you Sooz and your DH and DCs.

ZipadiSuzy · 29/10/2008 17:34

Hospital let dh out, so home now, fast asleep, sick with the tablets [yuk] morphine, paracetomol, diclofelx and senna - enough to feed the 5,000 - prayers he feels better when he wakes up he's so hungry, but doesn't keep anything down.

ZipadiSuzy · 29/10/2008 17:36

So worried

mufti · 29/10/2008 18:09

poor you and poor dh SUZY, broken ribs must be very painful, it not like they can put them in plaster like they could with other broken bones
the sleep will probably help

DutchOma · 29/10/2008 19:23

Oh Suzy really praying that your dh will soon feel better.

Suzy, adding my prayers for your dh too.
MJIM, praying for DS to have woken up feeling much better.

Prayers for everyone as I read through, as ever.

Lovely day yesterday - went over to Oxford to have a look round with dh. Far too much walking, but we so needed the break and the chance to do something we love (buildings, architecture, history etc). Tomorrow, ds is back at the hospital to see how his broken foot is mending, so please can I ask for prayers that it'll be good news?

CaptainDippy · 30/10/2008 07:28

Oh Soooooz Glad DH has been to hospital & got all the pain meds he needs now. There's no a lot they can do for broken ribs, so I am sure you are aware; but they will heal and he will be fine. Poor thing. Praying for a quick recovery - especially so he can get back to work. to you - it is going to be just fine sweetie I've broken three ribs before, it was super painful; but I was right as rain in 3 weeks / month. xxxxx

Poor DS MJIM Praying it is only a quick bug & he'll be able to enjoy the rest of the holiday asap

Continuing to feel more awake and brighter here Thank you all for prayers. Things still not good between DH & I Have been shattered in the evenings so going to bed very early, which is good for me I know, but frustrating, iykwim!!?

Hi CD, son is definitely enjoying half term despite the need to do some GCSE revision (not a lot of sign of that so far today...). I'm still mostly at work, alas.
DutchOma, thanks for reminding me - so many bulbs still to plant. Better get those in the ground in the next day or two.

Morning ladies

MJIM - puddle jumping sounds fab! Praying for Belgianbuns family.

Sooz - prayers that DH recovers soon. DP broke his ribs last year (the morning we were supposed to be driving to my cousins wedding ) and was ok after about 3 weeks.

Amber - my nephew is supposed to be revising / studying for GCSE's too - let's hope they both knuckle down soon.

It's very cold here today and worse weather forecast for the weekend. Selfish request - could you all pray for a happy sunny day tomorrow? My gorgeous DS is 2 - where has the time gone? we are having a family party tomorrow afternoon with a Thomas cake and everything!!!

Good afternoon Ladies,

Just wanted to share some prayers of praise from the Swali-household. I'm beginning to improve a lot with my sickness/dizziness/tiredness and have been signed off work for just one more week (at their request due to the nature of my work and needing to be in tip-top condition if I do go in). We're also looking forward to a week at Centerparcs the week after next which is such a blessing on us as a family. DD is very happy and seems to be over her latest fussy/clingy phase with a need to be held to sleep and teething plus a stinking cold to contend with. She is such a gorgeous, good girl and we are truly blessed to have her. Also, DH's big deadline at work that has been hanging over him for a month is today and everything is going smoothly! Plus DH and I had a good open talk about some rather intimate things last night which is a big relief for both of us.

Prayers from me for all who don't feel like praising God atm and for all who do. Also, big prayers for God's light to shine down upon us on such a dark night.

amber32002 · 31/10/2008 14:47

Prayers of praise from me. Son's hospital consultant says his broken foot has healed really well, and if he takes it steadily he might be back in rugby before Christmas. Hooray!

Prayers aplenty for all here.

I have had a prayer request from NASWM for ds1 who is ill. As far as I know they have come back from Centerparcs to a house without a kitchen and maybe no supply of drinking water.

amber32002 · 01/11/2008 07:45

Prayers for NASWM's DS1 to recover fast, for CD's children to suddenly decide to be peaceful and co-operative (well, at least for long enough to enjoy a nice cup of something before the next battle commences...!), for Belgianbun's results to be a relief not a scary worry, for JDI's DS's birthday to be lovely, and for everyone else too.

MJIM, lovely lyrics. One of my favourite hymns.

Today, off to London with son to see the MPH show with the Top Gear crowd as his birthday treat. It'll be quite a challenge for me, but I do love cars . Please may I ask for prayers that I'll cope with the show (much involving flickering lights and sudden loud noises etc....)
