Prayer requested by snykerz

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

Urgent prayer request

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 pray for your little sister...Marianne.

God love you both, and give you the strength to get through this.

I know what it means to lose a little sister.

I’m praying for a miracle for Lori.

BTW, out of Charlotte, you might try US Air. That was the airline of choice when I lived in Wilmington.

Heavenly Father, how we praise You for Your everlasting love. As once You knit Lori in her mother's womb, knit her again, we pray, that she might be raised up as a witness to an unbelieving world. Thank You that You have given to her a nurse of compassion and concern ... hinder those from coming near who reverence not the life You have given. Grant the greatest wisdom to Dr. Volk and her team, that every decision and every procedure would bring health and healing, to the Glory and Honor of Your Name.

Bring forth to Marianne the information she needs to be at the side of her beloved sister. Thank You, O God, for Your concern for every detail and for promising that all of these things will work for good for those who love You.

Thank You that You are the Great Physician ... thank You that it is You, and not those in the world, who hold Lori's life in Your hand. May the family draw so very near to You in these agonizing hours, for there they will find strength and encouragement.

In the Name of Jesus we pray, Amen ...

“Most of the doctors these days are to quick to pull the plug and say thats it.”

This is a message for all of us to be advocates for our loved ones.

Prayers for Lori!

The latest news on my belovd sister Lori is that she is not doing well at all and the doctors have said that anyone who wishes to see her should do it now. By the Grace of God I was able thru the help of family, get 2 tickets ( for me and my son) out of Raliegh NC for tomorrow. MY plane leaves at 1:20 pm and arrives at Burbank airport at 6:15pm... my oldest son will be picking us up and we are going straight to the hospital. Please everyone send all the prayers you can spare for Lori as this does not look good. God Bless you all and I will keep you updated even from Calif.
Love and Light
Marianne (with my hand in his)
