June 2010 - MN Christian Prayer Request Thread: Captain Dippy apologises for going AWOL ....

428 replies

CaptainDippy · 18/06/2010 11:34

She's back!!!!!!

Gosh, I am soooo sorry for a rather prolonged absence. Since going on holiday last month to Center Parcs I just feel like life has been zoooooooooming along at about 100 mph. I kept meaning to catch up here, but never quite meaning to do it. so sorry!! Having said that, I have been "chatting" to DO, Mary, Jen and others on Facebook a bit and Mary very^ kindly took my 'phone call about my mother outlaw's friends' daughter and granddaughter who have been involved in the horrific car crash.....

There was no one else involved. It seems that the daughter just drove into the wall of a shopping centre. No idea why. It was though initially that the granddaughter had the more severe injuries and was airlifted to hospital; but the daughter had to be cut out of the car and turned out to have the worse injuries. They have both been through hours or surgery and are now in induced comas. They both have some really awful injuries including broken bones, major internal abdominal injuries, possibly spinal problems and the granddaughter has concussion and possible major cranial injuries. It is just unthinkable awful. Please, please just pray for a miracle. The major worry at the moment is the daughter's abdominal injuries might cause Peritonitis, which could prove very serious. She also has a very dangerous blood clot in the top of her thigh. I just cannot imagine what her parents are going through, and her husband. This is all too awful.

Gosh.

Well I have a summary of all the prayer requests from the beginning of May to the present for you all. I am afraid I just simply couldn't cope with summarising April as well. I hope you don't mind!!

((hugs)) teaandcakeplease.

Having said that DS2 is sleeping better, we've had 2 bad nights. Any spare prayers for a better night tonight greatly appreciated.

Praying through.

TheDailyWail · 08/08/2010 22:34

hope you have better nights with your LOs.

Again, I ask for some prayers for my friends DS - they've moved him to intensive care. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts so far.

DutchOma · 09/08/2010 09:36

DW Praying for strength and comfort for your friends and their ds as they go through this very difficult time.
Praying for good nights' sleep for BES's and TACP's dcs.

How funny to hear of dummies being changed into goldfish Smile

amberlight · 10/08/2010 18:45

Prayers continuing for all.

Just back from eye surgeon for ds - he has to have an operation to stabilise his eyesight in September. Not the news we need, but prayers that it will be OK would be greatly appreciated...and that I will continue to cope with everything.

DutchOma · 10/08/2010 18:57

No, surely not what you need at the moment. Prayers for courage, for coping power and for grace to deal with all that life throws at you.

MaryBS · 11/08/2010 07:23

Just popped in to say "Hi", and that I've been keeping you all in prayer, especially you Amber!

Still on holiday, found out DH had forked out for 12 hours internet time for us the other day, but it doesn't work in the evenings due to it being so slow! Hmm

And we come home on Friday!

Weather has been a bit mixed, plus I've damaged my knee again. But we've still had a good time! Please pray that we have a safe journey home on Friday!

DutchOma · 11/08/2010 08:09

Lovely to 'see' you Mary, hope the last few days of your holiday are enjoyable and that your knee holds up.
Prayers for all of you.

JentlyDoesIt · 11/08/2010 08:50

Hello all, reading and praying and catching up...

Amber, what sort of op does DS have to have? I have had 4 ops on my left eye now so if I can be of any help then just shout xx

Prayers for DD and the dummy fairy TACP, we've never had them here but I know friends have done all sorts of things like sending them to be stars so the DC can wave at them at night etc.

Waves madly at everyone else. Had some amaziing good news yesterday. My eyesight problems are hereditary so we were told there would be a 1 in 4 chance of either DC deeveloping the same probs either at brith or by the age of 2 so until now, they've been under the care of Moorfields Eye Hospital and checked approx every 4 - 6 months. DS was discharged last summer and yesterday DD got the all clear too! I am so thankful for my beautiful babies and their lovely perfect vision!

Right, hi ho, hi ho it's off to work I go...

teaandcakeplease · 11/08/2010 09:22

Awww that's lovely, wish I'd thought of sending it to the stars to wave at Envy

So glad your DCs eyes are healthy Smile

I think we're over the worst of the tantrums now about it all. I think Hmm

madhairday · 11/08/2010 11:01

Hi everyone....continuing to pray. Amber esp praying for you and ds.

Mary - great to hear from you :)

Jently - that's really great :)

TACP, glad you seem to be over the worst, well done for hanging in there.

You know I asked for prayer a while back for my neighbour who was in danger of going into early labour - this was back at 24 wks and it was looking really bad - well she's made it through to 35 weeks and is going in to have the baby today - what a great answer to prayer! But please pray for her labour and delivery today. thanks.

TheDailyWail · 11/08/2010 11:08

Madhair - how lovely for your friend. Safe delivery for mum and baby is in my list of prayers. x

amberlight · 11/08/2010 13:09

Cross-linking to stabilise keratoconus initially, and if that doesn't work, more major after that.

M44 · 11/08/2010 16:42

PLease pray that I can muster some motivation to dig myself out of the hole I have ended up in this summer.......just no motivation. Usually out and about doing lots of stuff with the kids.......thay are having a grim holiday. I keep doing a Susannah Wesley and hiding in the loo to pray for peace and patience.

Thank you-I feel so bad when there is so much devastation in the world.........

MaryBS · 12/08/2010 07:44

Don't feel bad M44, just because bad things are happening elsewhere, it doesn't mean you can't struggle too. I hide in the loo sometimes too, it seems to be popular! When you feel better you can tell people you're coming out of the (water) closet! :o

Praying for you, and others here too...

(btw its my birthday today!)

DutchOma · 12/08/2010 08:41

Happy Birthday Mary Grin

amberlight · 12/08/2010 08:44

Happy Birthday, Mary!

Hermya321 · 12/08/2010 20:14

Happy Birthday Mary!! Did you get anything nice?

M44 I've done a lot of hiding in the loo as well, sometimes its the one place where people generally won't disturb you for five minutes.

M44 · 13/08/2010 11:06

...hmmmm except my 5 yr old has worked out how to open the lock from the outside!!
Feel I have the 'upper' hand again now....cleared out the toy cupboard and they really did realise that mum meant it when she said incomplete puzzles and games were being thrown out. Great fun getting them to work and make the puzzles.....

Hermya321 · 13/08/2010 18:59

M44 Huh, that could be a bit problematic. Good for you getting the upper hand again though.

PositiveAttitude · 14/08/2010 17:51

Sorry I've not been around a lot recently. I have been lurking and praying, but not felt up to posting.

Could I please ask for you to pray for me? I feel as if I could be slipping into a depression again. It has nothing to do with DH being out of work, in fact I feel that is a blessing because he is around to help me and do all the things that I know I should be doing, but am finding too much at the moment. I just feel like either crying or sleeping all the time and am just so stressed out. There is no logical reason for this. My parents are not well, so I am concerned about them, DD3 has been very unwell for 2 years, but is now recovering, -maybe I am reacting to that now that she is better, as I dont have to be there for her so much, I dont know, perhaps there is no reason...... perhaps I am just being daft!
God is good though as our finances are ok, if we are careful.
Thanks for your prayers. x

amberlight · 15/08/2010 07:54

Prayers aplenty...

madhairday · 15/08/2010 16:40

PA, praying for you right now.

notsofarnow · 16/08/2010 07:17

positveattitude your not being daft just sometimes there is no logical reason for depression.

Right that over time to say hi. I don't know how long i've been awol for but its been ummmm rather a long time.

Life remains as hectic as ever dd1 has just got a diagnosis for all her joint problems and atm the future doesn't look bright with possible major major surgery lurking.

Managed to get through xh wedding and even went to the evening do so things have moved on rather drastically in that respect.

I go in to hospital on the 9/9 for hysterectomy and repair so may be around on here a bit more as I iwll have nothing else to do for 6 weeks as can't lift a thing sigh.

Am off on hols on wed so will be awol for a bit longer as don't have internet access on my phone.

Love and prayers to you all x

madhairday · 16/08/2010 09:49

notsofarnow, you seem to be facing an awful lot at the moment. I will pray for you for the op and everything else.

PA, how are you today?

My neighbour was not induced the other day after all, sometime this week they are saying now, I guess the longer the better really, she is 35 wks now so that's great. :)

We're off to France on sunday - can't wait. My chest has been playing up a lot this week and I'm hoping some warmer weather will improve things a bit. I just feel so weak, it's crap. prayers for strength would be greatly appreciated.

DutchOma · 16/08/2010 10:28

Prayers specifically for your health and strength MHD and also for you NSFN, that you will both get everything done before you go on holiday and that your health will not let you down.
Also prayers for a safe delivery for your friend MHD
