He has developed a fungal infection in his sinuses. That is a very serious problem for someone with a compromised immune system as Noah has.
Please continue to pray for perfect healing to that as well, and for wisdom for all the doctors and medical staff that are treating Noah, as well as for strength for his family to cope with all they must do while he is being treated.

From Mr. Silverback: Some of you will recall that last year my wife Rambette had some difficulties in obtaining a nursing job because of a bureaucratic screwup. It has come to our attention that this was not a screwup per se, but almost certainly resulted from misconduct on the part of one or more hospital staff members. I cannot go into detail on the forum, but suffice it to say that the coverup for someone's favoritism and/or stupidity has strayed far into misconduct territory, and some people have a lot invested in making her seem like a problem child. Let me add that I have never known anyone who is more professional and devoted to patient care than my wife. She needs prayers for protection, wisdom and justice. She is preparing to go toe-to-toe. Thank you in advance.

Prayers for J.D.'s son (a person I know from an email list) : He says: My handicapped son is in the hospital with a massive infection that has temporarily, we hope, caused most of his organs to shut down, or nearly so. His condidtion is now stable, and appears to be slowly improving, but he is still extremely critical. The docs seem to think that the next few days will tell if he will recover or not, so your prayers will be greatly appreciated.

murphyb has this request for a small boy: A 3 yr old nephew of a friend was admitted into the hospital b/c he started having trouble walking. They conducted a CT and found out he has a tumor on or near his brain stem. . Update: There is now some hope for this little guy. The doctors are now saying that he should have a 40-60% chance of survival. That sounds bad but they all thought that it would be much less. They say that if the tumor had been 2 centimeters lower on the brain stem, his chances would have been 0-5%. The doctors are now trying to decide how to proceed with chemo or radiation.
Jaded asks us to remember the following in our prayers:
Fr. Mike, recovering from surgery.
Deb- starting chemo.
Beth, Gabby and Claribeth- moving to Chicago so Gabby and Claribeth will be near their Dr. Both kids have Chiari Malformation
Glenda who has stage 4 brain cancer and breast cancer as well as her kids Debbie and Michael. The kids are grown but they are having a really hard time. Also Charles and Tina who are trying to help her and the kids.
From happymom: A quick request of my own: my daughter Christina is in the hospital. For the past couple weeks she has been saying she couldn't eat or drink anything because she felt like she was choking. Finally this weekend she as admitted because she was so dehydrated she couldn't keep anything down even when she tried. It turns out today that her EEG showed she is having seizures and that could explain the choking feeling. That makes sense to me, since I have two other children with epilepsy. I'm not sure I want to bring her home from the hospital yet, though, if she still can't eat and drink, or we'll just be back in by this weekend. On the other hand, I've only gotten to see the rest of my family for about 5 minutes a day, and I'd like to get home. But whatever will be best for her. I've got to get back to the hospital now so I won't be able to reply till tomorrow at least. Thank you so much.
Please remember Noelle, who is having great difficulty finding a job.

Knitting a Conundrum asks: Please pray that everything about our move to Boise in the fall goes smoothly...I'm a bit overwhelmed by what needs to be done, and I have a lot of stuff to do and keep getting asthma attacks (related to stress and just the products I need to use to get the jobs done), and we're having some problems with the house we've been renting out and plan to move into. I'd really appreciate it.
MissEdie has this update on Clint: " I wanted to update all of you on Clint's condition. His mother and I appreciate all of your prayers, however it is not looking good. His mom just got back from the hospital and the doctors are preparing her for the worst. Clint is not responding to the antibiotic being used to treat his staph infection. On Friday there was a glimmer of hope, his fever had broken. He is on the ventilator and it is doing all of his breathing for him. Freepers please pray hard for him, Clint is only 14 years old, and he has been in the hospital battling pneumonia. Please continue to pray for him and his mother! She is very frightened, and so am I."

Update from Sally's Concerns on her sister Alexis the Bengal Kitty: "She's had the pre-cancerous lump removed from her breast and we should have the pathology report later today (Monday, the 12th), she's had another ultrasound for the tumour on her ovary and it hasn't grown since the last one 2 months ago and finally, she had more blood work done and the blood test which tests for the ovarian cancer marker came back as normal. While it's too early to start celebrating it's not ovarian cancer, I'm still extremely grateful to all of the wonderful FReepers for their prayers for both of us.
Army MP Retired updates us on his wife. "Update on my Anita. Friends, yesterday we received bad news in that the cancer is in fact invasive and it was not contained only to the tumor that was removed last week. She must now have a complete mastectomy. That will happen next Thursday, followed by extensive chemotherapy. Pathology will then determine the likelihood the cancer has spread elsewhere and dictate what further testing is necessary. We continue to be grateful for our many blessings and for your prayers."
Mrs. Liberty is asking: "Would you please add my friend "Mike C" to your list? He is suffering from Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. In 1998, he was given three years to live, but has survived thus far. Unfortunately, he cannot have a heart/lung transplant--does not qualify. His health has been up and down over the years. He felt well enough to visit family and friends in Florida a few weeks back, but has told me that he is recently experiencing breathing problems. He is afraid, and I am, for him. He is a dear, dear friend who gives his big heart to everyone.."

Sally'sConcerns posts: "Update: I'll be having surgery on June 28th on 2 different locations on my digestive tract. I'll be in the hospital for a minimum of 7 days. The additional testing I've undergone shows the initial surgery to correct the perforated ulcer was done incorrectly, part of the initial ulcer is still there and there is extensive scar tissue which shouldn't be there. I have precancerous lesions in my esophagus which will not be cured by surgery so I'll have to be monitored every 3 months by having a camera inserted down my esophagus and stomach. They will remove 60% of my stomach which will leave me open to hypoglycemia. Also, I'll have a feeding tube inserted during surgery which will remain until my physician is satisfied my stomach is capable of handling regular food. The feeding tube is required as I'm already somewhat underweight and they feel I need additional nutrition. The feeding tube will remain in my stomach even after I'm released from the hospital.

For Israel
Psalm 83
0: A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
1: O God, do not keep silence; do not hold thy peace or be still, O God!
2: For lo, thy enemies are in tumult; those who hate thee have raised their heads.
3: They lay crafty plans against thy people; they consult together against thy protected ones.
4: They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!"
5: Yea, they conspire with one accord; against thee they make a covenant --
6: the tents of Edom and the Ish'maelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
7: Gebal and Ammon and Am'alek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8: Assyria also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. [Selah]
9: Do to them as thou didst to Mid'ian, as to Sis'era and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10: who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground.
11: Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmun'na,
12: who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God."
13: O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.
14: As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15: so do thou pursue them with thy tempest and terrify them with thy hurricane!
16: Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17: Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; let them perish in disgrace.
18: Let them know that thou alone, whose name is the LORD, art the Most High over all the earth.
Psalm 130
0: A Song of Ascents.
1: Out of the depths I cry to thee, O LORD!
2: Lord, hear my voice! Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!
3: If thou, O LORD, shouldst mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?
4: But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5: I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
6: my soul waits for the LORD more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7: O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8: And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Psalm 142
0: A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
1: I cry with my voice to the LORD, with my voice I make supplication to the LORD,
2: I pour out my complaint before him, I tell my trouble before him.
3: When my spirit is faint, thou knowest my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
4: I look to the right and watch, but there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me, no man cares for me.
5: I cry to thee, O LORD; I say, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
6: Give heed to my cry; for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me!
7: Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to thy name! The righteous will surround me; for thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
Joining in prayer for all these requests.
An update on my daughter Christina: she has been home from the hospital for about 3 weeks now but is still not eating or drinking anything near enough. She ate about a teaspoon of mashed potatoes on Saturday, that was pretty much all she ate all week. She is drinking maybe 1 or 2 oz of gatorade a day if I stand over her and make her. We went back to the pediatician today and he wants her to see the neurologist again but says if I can't get her an appointment this week he wll go ahead and hospitalize her again. I wish he would just go ahead and do it, I don't want to wait till she is throwing up blood again. She couldn't even take Communion this Sunday because she was afraid she would throw up if she tried to swallow it.
This is a little 10 year old girl. The doctor said she is too young for anorexia, and I don't know if that would apply, as she wants to eat, but has worked herself up into a phobia now. She has lost 20 pounds in the last month. Your continued prayers are very much appreciated.
Thank you.
That's one of the problems with long fasting...the signals from the brain that award you with feeling good about eating get twisted...and start to work backwards. And mixed with a phobic reaction makes it worse. I hope they can get her help. I have had brief bouts of it - at times my stomach was so wretched the only things I could handle were miso and plain yogurt mixed with sauerkraut [don't ask me why I could eat that and not other things. I still don't know]
Lord, be with this child...
Thank you for your reply. That's what so weird with this, she has always been the best eater out of my 4 kids. She loves to read cookbooks and watch Food Network shows, but in the past month or two, something has gone wrong. I'm hoping that if the problem is the seizures, they'll be able to adjust her medicine or find the right one to give her some relief. If that's not the problem though, I'm stumped. I have three kids with epilepsy, but this is the first time we've had this kind of symptoms.
Prayers for Christina and for all on this thread who are in need. May God's blessings come to all.
Bless and be with the people on this prayer list for 7/31/06 and everyday Lord. Amen
I remain in a state of prayer for all who need cover!
Prayer emergency!

My girlfriend's nephew, Justin, 15, was severely injured in a fall from over 30ft Saturday night in Ennis TX, near Dallas.
I'm trying to find out more details, but I know he is in Dallas Parkland Hospital in ICU with substantial head trauma and other serious injuries.
He is on a respirator and not conscious yet, but he has shown some leg and hand movement so he didn't suffer any serious spinal injuries.
He also had a ruptured spleen; doctor's had to operate yesterday to stop the hemorrhaging, but the good thing is he won't lose it.
Any prayers or moral support here would be greatly appreciated, things are very touch and go right now I so hope he pulls through this and can make a complete recovery, though it may be long and difficult.
I'm going to be out on the road all day today, so I won't be able to check back until later this afternoon/ evening. I hope to get an update from her on his condition, and more details as to what happened.
