Please pray for my mother, she is in the hospital and the doctors are saying things are not looking good. She has a number of issues hitting at once. Poor circulation in her legs, pnemonia, an irregular heart beat and pain in her stomach. I will be enroute. Your prayers are appreciated. God Bless.

On Thursday, Fox News’ Ed Henry tweeted that MSNBC hosts Ed Schultz and Lawrence O’Donnell, as well as Ezra Klein of the Washington Post and Fox News’ Juan Williams, had been invited for a private off-the-record chat with President Obama. Obama’s signature program, Obamacare, has been flailing in the press for weeks, and Obama apparently believes that it is about time to reshift the narrative:

The continuing saga of the gigantic tumor. I went to the oncologist today for the 1st time about the giant lump off my appendix. While the surgery does much for me, she is still up in the air about what to do next.

Looks like I may have been blessed. Had my surgery the 28th, and am recovering fine. Went to the surgeon today for follow-up, but it included the biospy results, which they only got yesterday!

My mother is in the hospital with a tear in her aorta. She is 93, so they aren't able to operate. Please keep her in your prayers. Thank you.

Our Lord and Savior has shuffled off the mortal coil of my father and called him home to his kingdom after 63 yrs. of faithful service on Earth. He leaves behind a grateful, joyful, and sadenned Wife, Son, Daughter, Grandchildren, and friends. Thank you all for the prayers and support from this thread that explained his final fight. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3070499/posts 2 Timothy 4:7 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith; in the future...

My wife is very ill and in need of prayer. She was diagnosed with blood clots in her legs several weeks ago and was put on Cumadin and sent home. The Cumadin didn't work, she developed additional clots and several migrated to her lungs. She was sent to the ER and then admitted to the hospital and a CT scan was ordered. The scan showed several clots in her lungs and it also showed a mass on her liver. The oncologist first diagnosed liver cancer and since the mass was relatively small we were hopeful that surgery and a round...

Pray For Our American Heroes and Our Nation I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts. Psalm 119:45 (NIV) ----

Please pray for my Father who lost his lifelong companion Catherine who loved people unconditionally and brought the love of Christ and hope while suffering much pain while offering her pain for others. My parents 58th Anniversary is tomorrow and my father is in tears. Please pray for Him

Good morning, everyone. I asked KathyinAlaska to do a private prayer request for us last week, and am going public now. My wife, NanaJ, is undergoing cancer (endometrial) surgery today at UMC in Tucson. We are not anxious about this; she is very calm and ready for today. We have family here and she is in very good hands. My request is for her to know she is not alone and that His will be done; that we can turn this into an opportunity to glorify God's name. Thank you all. Jinx

My youngest brother has been diagnosed with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA).He's been "out of sorts" for the last 6 months, but when he noticed some rather disturbingly large blood blisters on his lower legs and feet, he went to the doctor at 1030 in the morning. At 1045, he was in the emergency ward.

Asking for FReeper prayers for my 87-year-old Dad who has been in the hospital for 7 days with a heart blockage. I lost my husband (.45MAN) almost exactly one year ago. Thanking you all in advance.

We have learned that FReeper jonesat has passed away. Here's a message I received from his dear wife, Debbie: Jim - thank you for your personal response! I admit I was surprised to get your email as I know you have thousands of readers. Andrew passed away in March at the age of 48 after a 13 year fight with a rare form of cancer (leiomyosarcoma). He was a true warrior, conservative and patriot. He was an Army officer (Major) when he was diagnosed, and after he was medically retired, worked for the Army first as a contractor then as...

Swampsniper is in the hospital. We called 911 this morning at 1AM. He is OK for the most part. Just really scared us. He is in room 4023 in Flagler here locally. He asked me to let you know what was going on. He should be coming home soon, and I may have over-reacted but I'd rather err on that side of caution in this case.

Fellow FReepers, I ask you to join me in prayer for Debbie, who has late stage lung cancer, her husband Terry, and their children and grandchildren. Deb has been through chemo, etc. and her doctors have stopped medication. She is a wonderful person who has always been one to help raise money for worthwhile causes, and she and her husband have been working in their own business for decades here. Almighty Father, if You so will, please heal Debbie and make her whole. If it is not Your will that Debbie be cured, please receive her with open arms, ease...

Hi Freepers, I have a question for you. It is late, so if anyone answers me, I’ll probably have to answer most posts tomorrow. I have this weird dichotomy going on. I go to church and pray a lot—but there is a part of me that just wants to die, although I don’t really want to. I was just listening to the Stone Temple Pilots—“I Got You”—about heroin. For a few moments I thought about how I might procure some, because tomorrow I have to go to the American Embassy in Ottawa to fix my papers so I can go...
