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

UPDATE

Urgent prayer requested through Pegita
From Snykerz | 07/16/2008 4:06:45 PM PDT

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

I have good news... I just talked to my BIL (Jon) and he said that Lori has been off of the Vent since 11:30am today! He also was putting some special lotion on her hands and feet and she kept trying to push him away! so she is moving her arms and legs much more than yesterday.... such a blessing. Please post this update for me and Thank you all from the bottom of my heart and soul for all the prayers for Lori, you are all very special to me. May God bless each and everyone one of you.

Thank-You so very much for this wonderful update. Continuing with prayers for Lori for complete physical healing.

It’s time to raise our hands in Praise! To God Be all the Glory and more! Jon called me and told me that about 5 mins before the kidney stone surgery, Lori TOTALLY WOKE UP !!! she looked at Jon and couldn’t focus well, so he put her glasses on ( I guess they were too tight) but she took her hands and tried to take the glasses off. Jon explained to her that she was going to have surgery for the stone and that she was going to be fine... then when she came out of surgery, (very simple procedure, it was a soft stone and they got it all!) she was still awake and tried to talk to Jon, but couldn’t because of the Trach, he told her that everything went well and they got the stone out and the she tried again to say something, but could’nt, but got a peaceful look on her face as if to say “Thank God” they got it.. and its gone..Jon told me that this is the first time that he could actually say that there was recognition from Lori, and that she knew who he was and she seemed to understand everything he was telling her... she is resting comfortably tonight. It seems to me that my Beloved baby sister has found her way back home to all of us. So, with that being said, I don’t know how to Thank each and everyone of you for your prayers, they have certainly brought about a Miricle for “Our Lori”... as she is part of your family now too. I pray that she continues to stay on the road to recovery and improves with each passing moment. Thank you all for praying with me, you have all been such a source of comfort to me during this time.. I love you all. Please keep “Jon” in your prayers also, he has been such a GREAT source of strength for “Our Lori”... he Loves her so much, and never once gave up hope or faith that she would be alright. That kind of Love does not go un-noticed, thats for sure. And Jon, if you read this,,, Thank you for being there each step of the way for Lori.. I love you both so much.
Prayer Warriors, may God Bless each and everyone of you.. I Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for how you have helped my sister with the Power of Prayer. I will never forget it.
I will update again tomorrow to let everyone know how she is doing.
Brightest Blessings,
In Faith
Marianne

[Snykerz]

I’m not sure if I did this right or if this is where the update on my sister should be,,, If I did it wrong please move it up where it is supposed to be. Thank you all so much. I’m not very good at this computer stuff or where to put updates and such, so forgive me, I’m just so excited that she is doing better! Glory Be!
In His Name

Almighty God, how we Praise You that we are witness to the unfolding miracle of healing in Lori's life ... let nothing come near that would hinder her return to vibrant health. May Your wisdom overflow from those in her medical team, that they might participate in her healing ... may Your strength be the source for Jon and his family as they daily minister to Lori ... may the sweet fragrance of prayer encourage Lori and comfort her soul ... may Glory and Praise and Honor be Yours, O Lord, for Great and Mighty things You have done.

We worship and adore You,
bowing down before You.
Songs of praises singing,
Hallelujahs ringing.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Amen. ...
