CaptainCaveman · 27/05/2009 13:53

Praying for you and your dh Jen, how are you doing?

Praying that you find the right answers clockface, may the Lord make His message very clear.

Off to see gp today for check-up (routine for anti-mad tabs ). I'm going to mention my constant tiredness to see if she thinks its anything worth bothering about. I expect its just normal with having a baby but surely other people don't physically struggle to stay awake like this? Maybe they do?!

amberlight · 27/05/2009 13:56

Praying for each of you

Notquitegrownup · 27/05/2009 15:40

lol, CC. I went to the GP with a similar complaint while back. She took lots of bloodtests and eventually concluded that I had Two-boy-itis and that it would get better in time. She was right!

Jen - special prayers for you and your dh. Can't begin to imagine how you are coping at the moment. Keep on posting, and we will certainly keep on praying.

Clockface - praying for your selection process. (And once again, thanks so much for recommending Linda Dillow. I am now really enjoying "Satisfy my soul". Totally recommend her to anyone else wanting a challenging, yet reassuring read, about learning to lean more on God, and the joys of doing so.)

Weegiemum - thank you for that. Fits in so much with what I have been feeling/reading recently.

Big wave to everyone else.

Sooz, how's dh's arm getting on?

God bless all.

notsofarnow · 27/05/2009 20:01

evening all just checking in and to ask or payers for church at the minute it seems like everyone is suffering with depression, breakdown, type things atm. Just the thought that we are under attack springs to mind just now. All at a time when actually I am feeling quite good for a change. Praying for you all

ZipadiSoozi · 27/05/2009 21:15

NQGU - dh's arm aches alot, not alot we can do with such a physical job, I try to help when I can, and book him the lighter jobs, but they arn't good payers. lol at your 2 boy-itis I have the same itis

JEN - Prayers for you and dh, can't begin to think how you must be copeing.

Prayers for situations at work, walked out of meeting today spat dummy out of pram if I'd stayed I may have said something I regret, so I had time out!!!!

ZipadiSoozi · 27/05/2009 21:18

NSFN - prayers for all suffering depression, how is dd?

Clockface - How did it go? tell tell!

ZipadiSoozi · 27/05/2009 21:24

Weegie - lol 'God touching us gently today' more like a thunder bolt for us at work, at least I'm going to bed thinking about it and smiling, maybe God has gently touched slapped my temper away

Prayers for everyone

Could do with a few myself today - got to go to another meeting, and this one's with someone who knows not a thing about autism spectrum people. Prayers that communications will be good enough that we won't both be immensely puzzled by the end of it...

Weegiemum · 28/05/2009 13:16

Thankyou for praying for my SIL. My 5th nephew was born at 10.30 last night, forceps but all is well. He has a fabby family name and we are all delighted (though dc don't know yet, and dd1 was holding out for a girl!)

Just glad it all went well for them, and a big ty for your prayers!

Right off to work I go, what reception I get I don't know (after yesterdays stomp out of meeting) ds said work have been trying to contact me all day, maybe I've been sacked

Prayers all round - for Naomi and NSFN's dd, for CC and her new Cave, for Amber, that she finds the peace and safe haven here she needs, for Jently, her DH and her family during this difficult time.
Jently - if you run out of jobs for him send round here to cut my grass ;) Fed up of waiting for DH to do it!

Swaliswan · 29/05/2009 07:06

Please excuse typos and know that I am praying for you but an a bit overwhelmed atm.

Yesterday DD2 was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and put into a Pavlik sling for about 22 weeks of treatment if it works or she'll have to have surgery. I'm not really sure where to start to ask for prayers. I think the first prayer request is for the Lord to provide equipment for us to look after her. We don't need anything fancy just stuff that is wide enough. A baby bean bag and a very lightweight wrap sling would make life a lot easier and are recommended for us to get them but they are expensive and we've already had to buy a different pram (also need a pram seat for DD1 for the pram!). I know that the Lord will provide but this is so very hard.

I'm feeling very

Notquitegrownup · 29/05/2009 07:15

Oh SS Special prayers for you coming to terms with this. I hope that you have posted a general thread on MN for advice and help. There will be others out there in MNworld who have been through this and come out the other side (they may even have baby bean bags and special slings to sell second hand too - worth asking, Sweetheart. [smile})

Thinking of you.

Sooz, hope that work went well.

God bless all.

amberlight · 29/05/2009 07:31

Oh blast, SS. Prayers aplenty. Does the HV have any clues if there's an equipment loan service for children round where you are somewhere?

An old friend of ours had a dd with the same thing. Long old wait to fix it, but it worked and she's great now. Praying that this will be the same for your lovely little one.

Weegiemum · 29/05/2009 08:17

SS Sad to hear this about your little one. Prayers for you all to cope with it as well as you can.

I also have a dd with a hip condition (dd2 has Perthes disease, which has crumbled the bone in her right hip and she is off her feet as much as possible till it regrows) so if you want to chat feel free.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned Steps to you - they can be very helpful and supportive and might be able to help with the equipment issue.

Clockface · 29/05/2009 08:45

SS. Praying that "God will make a way".

I am back from my three days of intensive interviewing! I feel a bit spaced out today tbh - too much thinking! I think it went well, and I am full of peace that God is in this process so it's up to Him, and hopefully the people who'll be making decisions on my behalf will be filled with His wisdom and His spirit. So now it's time for me to reeee-laxxxxxxxxxx!

DutchOma · 29/05/2009 09:18

Coping prayers for you SS and prayers for you dear dd2. Praying for dd1 too, sorry I didn't mark her birthday.
Praying most of all that you will see the Lord's provision and love in all this.
I childminded a little one with this condition for a while, long time ago; she is 22 now and absolutely fine.

ZipadiSoozi · 29/05/2009 11:30

SS - Whilst this is awful for you atm, I have a friend with a dd who went through this with surgery, she is now 10yo and a super gymnast and swimmer. Prayers for your dd and hugs for you as you adjust to a temporary new lifestyle. Poor wee little one. Any new piccys?

CD - ARE U OK?

MARY - ARE U OK?

MJIM - Prayers for your lo, night terrors are so frightening for them, hope you can get some advice and help for your ds.

Prayers for dd as she suffers at night with some form of urine problem, she screams for 2 solid hours, kicking and squirming around in agony, been like this for 4 years, although not every night, she is always fine 2 hours later, taken sample to docs this am, so hopefully will get sorted soon.
