Prayer needed by a freeper. (updates in #151, #183)
anonymous freeper

Posted on 04/20/2007 8:57:22 PM PDT by trussell

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!!

A lot of trials for a nice family.

Prayers continuing for this situation. Lord, when I decide to feel sorry for myself, remind me that there are those in much more need than I.

Update for this thread:

All of you know that trussell’s computer went kaput — poor girl!

So I just got this update for all of you. Continue your prayers.

I want to thank you for your prayers for my mom. Mom will be at the heart hospital through the night for observation. There is an update, some good news and some not as good news. The procedure today shows NO blockages! PRAISE THE LORD! Her heart IS showing damage, but it is NOT from a heart attack! They aren’t sure when the damage occurred, how, or why. Mom will be on medication to strengthen her heart. They are hoping that in doing this, it will fix a part of the issue causing the congestive heart failure... They are also thinking that right now it is not strong enough for the surgery to replace the mitral valve. After she has been on the meds a while (I don’t have a timeframe on it) they will check her heart again, look at the back-up issues and the valve, and determine then what the next step is... surgery or no surgery.

My daughter will be 31 weeks along tomorrow (Friday). Every additional day helps us breathe a little easier. I will know the bedrest stuff is getting to be too much when she starts coloring on the walls!! LOL

Thank you for pressing in with prayers for my mom the last couple days!! Thank you, also for your continued prayers for mom, by daughter and grandson! May God bless you all richly in return.

Thank you, Father, for my FR family!

Late to the thread, but prayers up.

(I have had preemies among inlaws and nieces and nephews...)

Hang in there--you don't know yet what God has in mind to be preparing you for.

Prayer ping update.

Prayer update from the anonymous freeper. Please see below.


I have an update and praise report!!

We saw the OB doc today. Ultrasounds show cervix is unchanged from 3 weeks ago! PTL! My grandson is growing and full of life....he is 4 lbs 6 oz at 32 weeks. His heart looks good and his growth is good.

The OB doc and heart doc, while they have talked, are still NOT on the SAME page!! the Heart doc says C-section for my daughter's heart. the OB doc says if she starts into labor before the c-section date they will let her go!! (EXCUSE ME!) the Heart doc appointment is tuesday...and more will be said then.

At this point-— reports are good! :o)

Mom said she is breathing better and able to walk further. PTL! Coveting your continued prayers on my mom and daughter. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! When mom was in the hospital after the catheterization, she said with tear-filled eyes, “It shows the power of prayer!” AMEN!.  

Blessings,
trussell


If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
