Hey, everyone.... I have a few prayer requests. I just was told my mom has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. They have put her on medication to try to get the fluid off her heart. They also found her thyroid is not functioning correctly and the numbers are way out of whack.
PLEASE also pray for my daughter and my grandson. My daughter has just returned from the Dr. They gave her a steroid shot today and she will receive another one tomorrow to help the baby's lungs develop as they are not ready yet. She is 28 weeks along. He is currently 2 lbs 9 ounces. They have put her on bedrest... she cannot be up for more than 15 minutes, when she is up. This means that she has to take a leave from her job. She is worried about losing her house and paying her bills. She was also informed that she may not have a job when this is all over!
I have been unemployed since January, and going through a mess, as well. Some of you are aware of all of it. Circumstances have put the girls and I living with my older daughter, so we have been helping already with things around the house. God knew she would need us and placed us here ahead of time.
I am working on a project temporarily for Abstinence Clearing House, which will help some in the financial department. Please pray that my mess comes together so that I can help her.
As you can see...there are many issues here.
You prayers are coveted!! (Now I will have a 21 yr old saying, "I'm BORED" along side the 12 yr old that says it frequently!! What's a mother to do! I think I am going to the house in Viborg to get ALL thoe BOARD/bored games!!)
I know in my heart God's hand is in everything and He cares for us. At the moment, it is hard to not feel quite overwhelmed!!
An overwhelming update and so very wonderful!
Thanks to you and glory to God.
"OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!"
Prayer update...Please forgive the generic post, I have a fractured wrist and am having some pain right now. Received in FReepmail.
“Thank you for your prayers and thank you to our Lord:
Mom had the scheduled appointment with her cardiologist to check on the condition of her heartthe leakage, the damage, etc. After the preliminary checks, he stated that he wanted to have an echo-cardiogram done to check on the changes in her heart. If there was no change or a worsening, then surgery would be next, and soon.
Mom had the echo-cardiogram that afternoon with a consultation after. At that consultation, the cardiologist said that he could hardly believe it. The walls and chambers were back to normal; the prolapse was nearly back; the leakage was hardly any. He said the only explanation he could give was that her heart was under viral attack when we came and that it was now healed=back to its regular state. He also said that he would like her to stay on medication until the next appointmentsome time next summer. He basically admitted that he did not have a better explanation. Mom said, Thank you, Lord. We celebrated.
I also want to report my daughters heart is back to the condition it was in pre-pregnancy. She still has a condition, but the damage done through the pregnancy was temporary. My grandson is growing and a good baby. He is 2 1/2 months old, cooing and nearly laughing outloud. He is truly a joy!!
I also want to thank you, those of you who knew, for prayers regarding my unemployment. I start working on Tuesday as an Activities Assistant at a nursing home. It will help the financial situation until God opens the next door for me.
May God bless you and your families for the great blessings that you have been to us! THANK YOU a thousand times over for your prayers!!”
Praise be to our Lord.
Thank you for the updates.
Prayer and praise continues.
rejoicing!
prayers of thanksgiving!
What a lovely post, endthematrix. Thank you. May the good Lord through His grace and love for us give them comfort and courage. As an aside, I had my daughter at 26 weeks. Bedridden for four of them. She was 2lbs, 4oz. Now she’s a 17 year old bombshell. Don’t be afraid. Whatever His plan is for us.
What a joy. My little one Olivia Irene was born 6/20!
Our anonymous freeper has had some good news, and she is pleased to give God the glory!
Thankyou for your prayers and faith
Prayers going up.
