Catholic Prayer Ping!
Posted on 06/27/2018 5:51:47 PM PDT by WayneM
This prayer request is for a good (the best) friend and co-worker.
Despite regular eye exams, my friend Frank found out he has glaucoma in both eyes very early this year. He has been yanked around, in my opinion, by both insurance company and doctors. The medications have not worked very well, and the first surgery did very little to stem the preesure in his eyes.
As a result, he has lost permanently much of his vision in the last few months.
One of his last hopes was a doctor at a very well respected university out of state. Today this Dr. told my friend that he was legally blind and cannot drive any more, (he has to drive 80+ miles round trip to work). He will be starting my friend on a different medication combo, but for now, no surgery.
My friend is a wonderful man and a devout Christian. He is kind and patient, and very giving, and has many wonderful qualities. Despite many trials in his life, he remains good humored and displays no noticeable self pity.
Please join me in praying that our Lord, God and Savior, in his infinite mercy and wisdom, reach out and touch Frank with his healing hand and helps my friend in this difficult time.
Prayed.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I’ll be sure to keep Frank in my prayers. Losing such an essential sense as vision is a scary, life-altering affliction. Prayers for healing, peace, strength and the grace to endure - resting in the knowledge that it is all in God’s hands.
Doea he need a new eye doctor — a specialist in glaucoma.
Kathy got this one, but I’ll ad my prayers for your friend, Wayne, in hopes that his attitude never changes and that somehow he can continue working somewhere. I pray this new doctor can find a procedure that will restore at least some of his sight.
He went today to a different glaucoma specialist at Vanderbilt University. He was expecting a surgery different than his previous surgery back in April, but the new doc wants to hold off for now and try a new medication combo.
I heard marijuana helped.

I really appreciate your vote of confidence, but it may be misplaced.
I am weak but He is strong. (actually, Allmighty!)
May Frank find healing through the intercession of St. Raphael, the archangel, the healer.

Amen.
May the healing grace of the Lord our God make this good man whole and ease the stress on those who love him.
