Urgent prayer request
From Snykerz | 07/16/2008 12:56:06 AM PDT

Dearest Prayer Warriors:

It’s been a long time since I have posted here on Freerepublic, but I remember how much you had helped me out with the prayers I had requested for my older sister Sherryl, and she is doing well. Now here I am again asking for your help.

My younger sister “Lori” needs all the prayers that anyone can spare. She was admitted to the hospital ( Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, Ca) a little over a week ago with a kidney infection, which turned into Gram Negative Sepsis with E-Coli, and developed Adult Respiratory Arrest Syndrome. That in it’s self was bad enough, but then on July 12th when they took her off the sedation medication, and she was not responding they sent her for a CAT scan and found that she had had 2 major strokes that affected both sides of her brain. The back of her brain was the part affected and there is still activity in the front of the brain. The doctors told me that if she survives this that she will most likely be paralyzed on both sides of her body with little or no sight.

I am in such a state of shock, and just numb, but cannot and refuse to accept that this is happening to my sister. I am in North Carolina, and being so far away from her makes it even worse, the doctors have told me that even if I were there, there is nothing I could do. Her children and hubby are with her and we are in constant contact. Please pray for Lori, the last I heard tonight was that her vital signs are stable and she responded a bit to stimulation by the nurses and moved her right side.

I have not given up hope or faith... I want her to come home and be whole again. I have called so many prayer lines asking for help because I know the power of prayer. If you know of any prayer line that is international, please let me know. I will forever remember the prayers you sent for “Sherryl” and the power those prayers had, will you please do the same for “Lori”? God Bless you and Thank you for listening to me. Her name is Lori Bruno and she is at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles..ICU.
In Faith,
snykerz

Dearest Pegita,
Thank you so much for letting all the Prayer Warriors know what's going on with my sister Lori. I have been waiting all day for an update and just got off the phone with her oldest son “ Freddie “... He said that there has not been much of a change, BUT she does respond to pin pricks and pinches (which tells me that she has feelings in her limbs and is not brain dead).. her oxygen level is down to 35% compared to 100% she has been on for the last week, and she is breathing a little on her own, her temp is down to 99.7. I told my nephew not to let the doctors discourage him as they have approached him about making arrangements to take her off the ventilator and feeding tube. He said he told the doctors that there is no way they are taking her off of anything, and that we just know that she is going to come out of this. The fact that she is responding to anything at this point is testimony that the prayers are at work and God hears them all. So, please keep the prayers going Lori’s way for a full recovery. I don't know how to respond to each wonderful prayer and email that is being sent, is there a way to let everyone know how she is doing at the same time? instead of trying to answer each one separately? I want to Thank each and everyone of you for your support and prayers, they mean so much. I will keep all of you updated as I hear the news, it’s hard because of the time change as I am 3 hrs ahead of Calif, and waiting for news is so difficult.
May God Bless all of you, you are truly Angels.
Marianne

The latest update I have at this moment, since I spoke with Jon last night, is that Lori has beat the Sepsis! The infection is gone! I am waiting to hear more as it is still early in Calif.. but I am so amazed at the healing that has taken place in such a short period of time, the power of Prayer is amazing. Thank You all so much, please keep the prayers going up for Lori as she not out of the woods yet, but everything looks better with each passing moment. I will update later tonight after Jon calls me and will let everyone know what's going on. They still don't know how much damage was done due to the strokes, so I am praying that she retains her eyesight.
Blessings to all of you
Marianne

When Morning Gilds the Skies ~

When morning gilds the skies my heart awaking cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer, to Jesus I repair:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised!

No lovelier antiphon in all high Heav’n is known
Than, Jesus Christ be praised!
There to the eternal Word the eternal psalm is heard:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Let all the earth around ring joyous with the sound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
In Heaven’s eternal bliss the loveliest strain is this:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Sing this eternal song through all the ages long:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Continuing in prayer, Marianne, that the Lord will yet raise up your beloved Lori, to the joy of your family and the everlasting Glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. May He be Praised, both now and forevermore. Amen ...

Continuing in Prayer for Lori for Healing, and for our Savior's Mercies and Grace to Surround her Every Moment.

How Precious it is, Lord,
To Realize that You are Thinking about me Constantly.
I can't even Count How Many Times a Day
Your Thoughts Turn Towards me.
And when I Awaken in the Morning,
You are still Thinking of me.

(Ps.139:17,18)

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart and soul for your continuing support of Prayer for my Beloved sister “Lori”.
I saw her just awhile ago at the hospital and we had a family meeting with the doctor. Dr. Volke said she wants to start weaning Lori off of the sedation medication and see how she responds, and then if it looks ok, to go ahead and put a trach tube in, as leaving her on the vent can cause other infections if left in for too long. If all goes well, Lori would be moved to a Re-Hab facility. Other options were discussed, such as ... what if she does not respond etc...
But wait!! My Brother in law Jon just walked in and said that Lori was starting to open her eyes and blink a bit! and she was moving her mouth as if trying to talk!! Praise be to God! Lets all hope for the best!! He was the one who saw last, I had to leave a bit earlier. So, please, please keep the prayers coming for “OUR Beloved Lori” for she is now a part of your family too... Thank you all so very much, as every prayer Prayed is going to help my little sister over come this. May God Bless each and everyone of you who are praying for “Lori”. Another update will come tomorrow, so lets us all pray in Gods name that she can see and respond to us, and that there is no brain damage that cannot be fixed.... I Thank you Father God for watching over my little sister “Lori Bruno” during this time and I trust in you that you will heal her from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet and let her recover fully so she may come home to the family who loves and misses her so very much. Thank You Father for hearing our prayers, in Jesus Mighty name, Amen
In Faith, with my hand in his (for Lori)
Marianne
ps. Please excuse my spelling errors, I left my eyeglasses in NC... Lori gave them to me.. I and sure wish I had them now.
