Hi All,
I just received an e-mail from "saveliberty" advising me she has been hospitalized. The cause as she wrote was:
"I have a significant, but benign tumor near my ear that is pushing against a nerve (which hemorrhaged). It sounds bad but I have excellent care."
It certainly does sound serious to me, even though saveliberty said she was being well cared for. She did want me to let her FRiends here know of her condition. When I get further info, I will post it.
In the mean time, if you could add saveliberty to your prayers, I know she would be comforted by that.
saveliberty is often the Threadmistress, and I am but a poster. So, if you all could perhaps place saveliberty's situation in the proper locations, I would be very grateful. [Or Moderators, if you are reading this.]
Get well soon, saveliberty!
:) Thank you, MaggieCarta!

(((Hugs))) Right back to you. I should have said, “Especially this week,” instead of only today.
May God be with you. Prayers from our family to you and yours, and a speedy recovery.
((((((SAVE))))). Cibco and I will be praying and thinking of you. We will look forward to hearing the all clear.
Good to hear from you dear saveliberty! You have been, are, and will continue to be in my prayers. Hugs!
Strong, solid prayer to the Lord God will surround you, protect you and lift you up during this ordeal, Win.
God bless you and your family.
SaveLiberty, I wish you & your parents the best of luck and all of God's divine grace to guide your docs & OR team during your surgery & to protect the three of you tomorrow and throughout your recovery & rehab!
I just looked up at Catholic Online for a traditional prayer & found this for any of the RC's reading this & participating in Dolly's initiative here:
Prayer Before Surgery
Loving Father, we entrust SaveLiberty to your care this day; guide with wisdom and skill the minds and hands of the medical people who minister to her in your Name, and grant that every cause of her illness be removed, she may be restored to soundness of health and learn to live in more perfect harmony with you and with those around her. Through Jesus Christ. Amen. Into your hands, I commend her body and her soul. Amen.
Is there anybody else here more fluent in RCism than I who might know who the patron saint for head/brain surgery might be? This morning I'll email my Mom ( who is... um...er, more devout than I, lol) to ask her if there's a traditional intercessor for that particular cause. Maybe it's not theologically correct, but I always just use my old childhood stand-by St. Anthony as my designated hitter/go-to-guy for extra firepower anyway. Couldn't hoit, I figure. ;-)
((((Godspeed, SaveLiberty!)))) We love ya!
(((Hugs))) Thank you, quantim!

Thank you both for your friendship, support and prayers!

Thank you, dmd25!

Thank you so very much, leilani! I love you all right back!
I am overwhelmed by your moving post. Thank you once again!
I don’t know who the patron saint of head surgery would be, but your prayer is beautiful!
:)
save
Our prayers are with you and your doctors/caregivers.....
Being a Southern gal, the picture of Jesus and the lighthouse reminded me of an old Southern gospel song from the 70s called - guess what?!?! - "The Lighthouse". Ha! I know that not everyone likes Southern gospel music, but I love it, and I hope y'all enjoy the message in this one. : )
I don't have anything on schedule for tomorrow, so, save, and her family and her medical team, will be in my thoughts and prayers off and on all day. I'm going to make a conscious effort to take a few minutes out of each hour to pray for them after my morning prayers tomorrow.
You are in the thoughts and prayers of everyone at my house, save. : )
(((((Hugs)))))
May God heal you and protect you, Save. I’m praying hard for you.
God bless.
