Sorry, also meant to add - The minister had his surgery on the brain tumour. Recovery went really well and he will need to take things easy for a few months. He is awaiting results to see if it was benign or malignant. not sure when these are due....will keep you posted.
Thanks for praying.

Hermya321 · 25/02/2010 14:20

Belgianbun Prayers for you and your little one.

positive Prayers for your DC as well, I hope they get better soon.

Just a quick one, I've felt a lot more peaceful of late. I don't feel as anxious and I feel that God has this LO firmly in his hands. I can't wait to meet them. So thank you for your prayers, it's really helped. On another note, I feel typically rubbish at this stage of things and am struggling with work a little. I've tried to get some time off, but so far I've not been able to due to one thing or another. So prayers for energy or a week off would be good.

BlueEyeshadow · 25/02/2010 18:29

DS2 seems to be a lot better today and slept better again last night.

I feel like I need to get back on track with DS1 now, who has been suffering from grouchy and irritable parents for the last 2 or 3 weeks, while having interrupted sleep himself.

CaptainDippy · 25/02/2010 19:01

My biggest baby is SIX today How'd that happen??

Prayers and Hugs for all. xx

Happy birthday K. And congratulations Dippy on getting this far

BlueEyeshadow · 26/02/2010 11:24

Groan! Every time I think DS2 is on the mend we have an awful night.

Continuing prayers for the job thing would also be good. Thanks.

CaptainDippy · 26/02/2010 12:00

Oh BES, this is a long old road for you! Sorry you had another horrid night Prayers for an end in sight ....

How is everyone else doing today? My DD1 enjoyed her Birthday yesterday - Pizza Hut after school with grandparents, daddy, sisters and one of my friends and party tomorrow

OP posts:
weegiemum · 26/02/2010 12:05

Some genuine thanksgiving

Dd2 had her hip appointment yesterday - and is allowed to RUN again! After 2 years in a wheelchair/major buggy she is now allowed to run (graduated exercise building up over next 6 weeks), and walk as far as she likes.

Praise God! No more "R, STOP Running!!!!" - cos she can.

When she got out of the clinic yesterday I was crying - and when we got out of the clinic was yelling "run, R, RUNN!!" and she did. It was amazing.

And Another answer to prayer!

DD2s glandular fever seems to be improving already.

Great to hear such postive news on here.

Hope the party goes well tomorrow CD. BES - praying for a better night for you.

Have a good weekend everyone.

DutchOma · 26/02/2010 14:40

Belgianbun, I'm crying with happiness for you.
And for Weegiemum's R and for PA's dd2.
A lot to give thanks for.
Continuing to pray for your ds2 BES
Have a wonderful party tomorrow Dipy family.

weegiemum · 26/02/2010 18:25

Belgian bun --- wheeeeeeeeeeeee! Great news!

MaryBS · 26/02/2010 20:25

Wow fantastic news BB, and you PA, and you too WM

BlueEyeshadow · 27/02/2010 22:05

Yay for answered prayers!

Still pretty dire here. DS2 seems a lot better in that he's not coughing or snotty any more but he's STILL not sleeping. I think it's now mainly teething but so hard to tell at this age so we don't know what we're treating and the lack of sleep is really affecting us as a family. It's especially hard because he's always been a good sleeper and easy to put down even when he did wake. Now though, it's feed, and then spend 10 mins shushing, put him down, scream, start over.

Spent a lot of last night raging at God in the dark!

DutchOma · 27/02/2010 22:10

BES God does not mind you raging at any time and 'the dark is not dark to Him'. The point is though that you can rage all you like and it won't make a difference, but if you start praising for whatever it is that you can honestly praise God for you will see that it makes a tremendous difference at any time of the day. Psalm 130 is prayed from a dark place, so you are in very good company. Hope you get a good night tonight.

MrsCadwallader · 28/02/2010 10:16

Wonderful to see so much good news here!

BES I'm sorry things are still so difficult for you. In my experience there is no time when you feel more desolate and alone than in the middle of the night with a screaming baby. But you're not alone, and you will come out the other side of this! I pray that you will reach the 'other side' very soon!

CaptainDippy · 28/02/2010 17:01

BB and WM Such wonderful answers to prayers. Praise god!!!

Was DD1's Birthday Party yesterday, apart from the venue being double booked and having to share the hall with another party (); all went well and a fab time was had by all - and we managed to get the whole thing for free because of the cock up

Praying things get easier soon for you all. xx

OP posts:
MaryBS · 28/02/2010 17:24

Hang in there BES, it DOES get better! Praying for a better night tonight...

Please pray for G, DH of Val. His heart problems are worse than first thought. He needs a valve replacement AND a bypass. Val is also still very low.

weegiemum · 01/03/2010 00:26

Can I ask you all to remember my family - its my Uncle's funeral tomorrow and people are struggling a lot with it, especially his wife, children and siblings (my Dad and Aunt).

Not looking forward to it, tbh, but it has to be done. And on the bright side my wee brother is staying with me tonight and tomorrow, we had a lovely evening ...

Thanks.

DutchOma · 01/03/2010 09:30

Praying for Mary's family (in law) and Weegiemum's family.

CaptainDippy · 01/03/2010 10:08

Prayers for G, that the date for the op comes up swiftly and everything goes well - and for strength for Val as she supports him through this. xx

Prayers for WM and all of her family today. xxx

Lovely sunshine here

Well, there we were, dh and I, me having just had the car crash, then setting off on our romantic weekend away to celebrate his birthday and him still being alive after the perils of the brain haemorrhage last year...and when we get there and settle in, we get news that his much loved Uncle has died.

Prayers please for all who had the honour to know Uncle B - a truly great man, and prayers that all will go smoothly and poor dh will manage to get through this OK.

CaptainDippy · 01/03/2010 16:56

Oh gosh Amber. I am so very sorry. Prayers for all, especially your DH. xx
