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

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 up for Lori and family.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Hey Cousin Sister, and everyone!
I saw Lori today, her vitals are good, white blood cell count is down, so all looks good. They are planning on doing the trach sometime tomorrow morning which I am sure will make her feel much better with-out having that tube down her throat. Jon is going back to the hospital in a bit, so will know more when he gets home. Lori had her eyes open and seemed to react when I put my hand near them, she was moving some and she seemed to know what we were saying, and last night when Jon kissed her “Goodnight” she tried to kiss him back... Praise God... Glory be! Please keep the prayers coming for my beloved baby sister “Lori”.... it’s gonna be a long haul for her, but God willing she is going to be fine. Thank You all so much for all the prayers and good wishes, they mean so much to our family, friends and especially to Lori, and dont forget that she is now a part of your family now also. God Bless you all my family Freepers, I dont know what I would do with-out you all. Hugs to you my Dearest Pegita! Update will come tomorrow.
I found a pair of Lori’s eye glasses that actually work for me so maybe now I wont be making so many spellings errors...LOL
Blessings of love and light

[Snykerz]

Sorry for the late update... I am back in NC, and my phone was off. Lori is holding on. They put a trach in and a feeding tube thru her stomach. They are weaning her off the vent at an hour at time and she seems to be breathing on her own somewhat, she is moving her arms and legs, but still can’t focus on anything. Next step is to get rid of the kidney stone that seems to be holding on to the infection. The Gang green is what they call dry gang green, and the docs said insteasd of taking her fingers off that they will just fall off (Dear God) have mercy. I am so upset I cant think straight let alone type. Please keep the prayers coming for my baby sister, I love her so her so much.. the trip to Calif was so hard to see her like that.
Thank you all for every prayer you haave prayed for Lori.
Will update tomorrow. God Bless you all.
Marianne

[Pegita]

Praise God, Marianne ... beloved Lori is fighting every step of the way! Grant her good success, O Lord ... strengthen her and her family unto the time when she has made a full recovery, to the Glory and Honor of Your Blessed Name.

And thank You, Merciful Father, for granting journey mercies to Marianne and her son, that they were able to minister to Lori by their very presence, their prayers, and their encouragement. May each day bring a measure of healing to Lori, for we continue to speak Life over her and plead the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for her healing.

Hear our prayer, O Lord ...
Hear our prayer, O Lord ...
Incline thine ear to us
And grant us thy peace. Amen ...
