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

Prayers for your sister!

May God hold her close in His powerful arms while she
experiences this ordeal!

Thankful that you will be there for her!

[Diver Dave]

We’ll all join our hands with His as we reach out with our love and prayers for Lori and your family.

Lord,

We come before you tonight with prayer requests for healing. We realize that you have many ways of healing, the slow natural healing we witness with a cut or scrape, the instant miraculous healing we witness with the laying on of hands and anointing with oil. We also witness the “Complete Healing” you provide when you call us home into your presence.

I remember the sadness as well as the joy I experienced when you called Daddy home. How he looked forward to that day.

May your Name be praised forever and ever. amen.

[Alamo-Girl]

I am so sorry to hear this and join with all the others here lifting Lori and all the loved ones up to God for His tender mercies.

O Lord, grant strength this day to Marianne and her son as they travel to be with Lori ... bring to their remembrance the Blessed Assurance that You are with them always, even unto the end of the age. Make straight their path to her bedside, and may it be, Merciful Father, that they will find her much improved.

Hear our prayer, O Lord ...

Incline thine ear to us
And grant us thy peace. Amen ...

May God hold Lori close to Him now and guide those who care for her. May He give her friends and family peace and strength as they endure this trial. May He restore her to health or ease her passing, if that is His will. In Jesus' name.
