My neighbor's daughter lost her fiance in a motorcycle accident on Thursday last week. She is 21 and, as you can imagine, is completely devastated. Her name is Charlotte.

edit: I forgot to add that she has had a lot of health issues and her fiance was very supportive of her. She refers to him as being her nurse. I can only imagine her health is going to go down hill now. She is so terribly heart broken. I only met him a few times but he seemed like a really nice guy. They were living in my neighbor's place (her parents) for a couple months while they got an apartment, and had just started to move into it. Her fiance just got out of the navy. Anyone know if the military gives out ceremonial flags to fiance's? This is so, so sad. The accident happened just down the street from where I go to church.

    My aunt, 83 years old, has had some sort of stroke or mental break, She's in the hospital but doesn't know where she is or what is going on. They are testing her, but she doesn't look good.

    Please pray for Jean Clark, and that God's will be done in her health and life. She is a wonderful woman with a big heart and a lot of love, but she has sure been lonely since her husband passed away 8 years ago.

    Thanks,

    Danny

    My step daughter Nikki was critcally injured when she fell out of a pickup and suffered a skull fracture, she is currently being kept in a drug induced coma to try to control the swelling. I ask you as my friends and extended family if you pray, please pray for my child. If you dont pray please send best wishes and thoughts to her. Thank you so very much.

    A little more history about Nikki, her mother and I divorced over 10 years ago but I still consider her and her sister my kids as they are the sisters of my 2 blood children. She still calls me Dad so I still see her as mine. She is a beautiful 18 year old with a good head on her shoulders, she has a good job, a paid for car (bought it herself) and strong plans for the future. Again your prayers are appreciated. Thank you.


    UPDATE 1:

    The Doctors tried to put in a central line (thts an IV directly into the subclavian vein under the collarbone) and instead knicked a lung and gave her a Pneumothorax (air escaping the lung into the surrounding area). so now she has a chest tube as well.

    UPDATE 2:

    Her inter cranial pressure has dropped to 15 from 50. (good thing) her bleed appears to have stopped. She is on pain management meds now. and meds to decrease pressure. All the family that can be there is there. Thank you for your continuing prayers, they mean a lot. I will keep you all posted. Otherwise pretty much the same. Just waiting now.

    UPDATE 3:

    The swelling of her brain increased so much so the Dr's took her into surgery for 5 hours to remove a section of her skull. The neurologist gave her 20% chance to make it out f surgery. She made it out and the Dr used the phrase "She did well". they placed the skull cap into her abdomen to keep it alive so they can put it back when the swelling goes down. For the next 5 or so days she will be on the ventilator and kept in a coma. Waiting time again. Thank you all so much for your prayers, please keep them coming.

    UPDATE 4:

    Ok she had to go back in for more emergency surgery to relieve even more pressure. But on coming out her vitals were better and intercranial pressure down to 8 (good thing). They took her off the paralytic meds she was on and she opened her eyes and wiggled fingers a little but not conscious yet. She is still on the ventilator. Prognosis is better than before but still critical. Thank you all for your prayers, please keep them coming.

    UPDATE 5:

    Last night she woke up from her coma, today she stood and walked a bit. She has a trache in her throat but is breathing on her own now. She cannot speak yet and isn't truly aware of herself or who the people are around her. But she is making great progress, Thank you folks so very much for your prayers and thoughts. My prayers go out to all of you that you never have to go through anything like this with your children, Love and Peace be with you all.

    All...I have a wonderful young woman in the church I pastor who received a heart transplant almost 7 years ago when she was 14. She will soon be 21. Her transplanted heart has weakened to the point that she cannot function, and she is now in the hospital and on a respirator to keep her breathing. She is on massive doses of lasix (sp?) to draw the water off her heart and lungs. She is too weak for another transplant. She is still alert, but cannot talk due to the respirator. Today she requested, in writing, that her life support be removed and the only meds she be given be for pain. The doctors removed her from the breathing machine today about 3:30 PM. They don't think she will make it through tomorrow without the respirator and other meds. Her kidney's are already shutting down. Please, please say a prayer, or have a nice thought, for Chelsea and her family tonight. Chelsea has touched the lives of so many people. She has challenged and encouraged others to be all they can be. God has given her something extra special, and now, please, join the family in spirit and in prayer as they walk this path with her.

    My brother, who has been on disability with a head injury, is trying to get back in the workforce and off disability. He starts a new job, a good job, next week and it would mean so much to him to succeed at this. It will be a challenge for him to stay employed and I am praying he is able to do the work. All prayers and kind support are appreciated.

    I have been gone for awhile as my wife's breast cancer returned and I basically devoted myself to taking care of her full time . We thought she had a few months more to spend with us but she suddenly took a turn for the worst last weekend and is now in hospice and I'm afraid her end is near.
    If you would please say a prayer for Rebecca that she may pass in peace without pain.

    I just talked to my sister-in-law & a close family friend is entering his last stages of liver/lung cancer. He has been fighting this for about a year & a half. They are doing a final scan today & then sending him home with the hopes he can spend a few weeks with his wife & sons.

    This has been extremely hard on the boys & his wife has become very bitter.
    It is going to be very hard on the community as well. He has lived here all his life, is our high school guidance councelor, coaches every sport & his youngest son is my son's best friend.

    Thank you

    I just found out that my wife's uncle had a seizure and passed out at home. It took the ambulance over an hour to get to him as they had to shovel their way into his neighborhood. Then it took another hour to get to the hospital. They had to shock him at least once at the hospital. He is scheduled for a pacemaker but is so weak that they are waiting until he gets stronger. He is barely eating anything and his wife doesn't think he will last the weekend but the Drs are more optimistic.

    We sure could use a few. My 4 year old daughter and wife have been up all night throwing up. Daughter has been so sick all she can do now is dry heave. Now my 10 month old son is starting. I feel pretty helpless as a dad and husband. Not much I can do besides take care of them. Painful to see the ones you love so sick.

    Well, I really don't want to go into detail about the situation, but no one is sick or dying.

    My littlest brother is deployed (Iraq) and he could use your prayers for a situation. God knows what he needs.

    Thanks.

    My wife has always said I have all the grace and good moves of a bull in a china shop.I got up early this morning to go help my younger brother move into his new house .In a hurry and not paying attention I tripped and fell going out of the garage. According to the emergency room doc and the x-rays I have a spiral fracture of the fibula where it joins the ankle with multiple small fragments floating around .Best guess is that it will require surgery and placement of a steel plate to tie it all back together but I will not know until a visit to the orthopedic doc next week so....... prayers please thanks guys

    Yep, you guessed it! Got here in time for the worst blizzard in 12 years and now the worst flood in a century. All I ask is for the dyke's (earthen and not Rosie type) and berms to hold. If that happens we will be OK, if not I may call for help bugging out.

    Thanks to all in advance,

    In October 2006, my FIL had surgery for pancreatic cancer. Removed most of his stomach, half his pancreas, and about half of his intestines. Went through months of chemo and radiation, and got to feeling much better. The last two weeks he has been really not feeling well, and has been losing weight. Went in for a full scan Monday. Went to the doc today and the cancer has returned in his liver. 2 big tumors. Inoperable. He will have surgery next Monday to re-insert a port so he can take more chemo. Will start radiation next Friday. Doc told him there wasn't much hope, but FIL wanted to do this. Wife and MIL are really torn up. Please remember him, and the rest of the family in your prayers. I couldn't ask for a better guy to be my in-law. He has treated me like the son he never had for the nearly 30 years we have known each other.

    My wife's friend's mom just died this morning. She'd been battling lung cancer that spread to the brain and had been doing pretty well, so this is a bit of a shock.

    My wife of 44+ years had to have her abdoman drained due to bloating, and the diagnosis of the fluid draind revealed that she had ovarian cancer.
    She is now undergoing chemo therapy and is not doing too well.
    She has lost a lot of weight and is down to skin and bones, and tatally bed ridden.
    The doctors say that after her third chemo treatment she will be operated on to remove her ovaries. About mid June.
    She is 76 years old.
    Would appreciate any and all prayers and well wishes.

    For GOD and COUNTRY

    Hello all,
    I want to ask that you please remember our 8-year-old son Brandon in your prayers. He hurt his knee roller skating at school a couple weeks ago. He limped around for a couple weeks and said it was getting better. Doc said it was more than likely just a sprain. Then he started playing on the school basketball team. After 4 + years in a wheelchair, he can't run too well to start with, but he was trying and the coach was being super good to him. Anyway, to make a long story short, Friday night at practice he could barely walk and he couldn't straighten his knee out. Took him to the ER Saturday and x-rays didn't show any breaks, but doc thought he needed an MRI just to be sure. Had it done this morning and the report came back this evening. He has a torn lateral meniscus. Basically torn cartilage. We are still waiting for an appt. with the ortho doc. His pediatrician said surgery was about the only option to fix it. So....looks like one more surgery for him. He is out of school the next three days and was looking forward to going squirrel hunting in the morning. That is out, and boy, is he upset!
    Thanks to all of you!


    Taxation WITH representation isn't so hot, either!
