A good friend of mine is in a bad way and needs prayers. What I share below is from another fb friend of mine who is much closer to her, and shared what Beth's condition is. Beth has been a friend of min on FB for over 5 years and we have had many great conversations on the Bible, life and politics. She now finds herself in the fight for her life and I am pleading with you all to pray for her.
She has had many exhausting tests, and they have found that her aorta is very enlarged and that she is going to have to have surgery to repair it. They also found abdominal aneurysms. An abdominal aortic aneurysm is an enlarged area in the lower part of the aorta, the major blood vessel that supplies blood to the body. The aorta, about the thickness of a garden hose, runs from your heart through the center of your chest and abdomen.
Because the aorta is the body's main supplier of blood, a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm can cause life-threatening bleeding. Depending on the size and the rate at which your abdominal aortic aneurysm is growing, treatment may vary from watchful waiting to emergency surgery.
Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm is found, doctors will closely monitor it so that surgery can be planned if it's necessary. Emergency surgery for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm can be risky. Another complication of aortic aneurysms is the risk of blood clots. Small blood clots can develop in the area of the aortic aneurysm. If a blood clot breaks loose from the inside wall of an aneurysm and blocks a blood vessel elsewhere in your body, it can cause pain or block the blood flow to the legs, toes, kidneys or abdominal organs. She could very well go through this surgery this weekend.
She also needs to get some weight on her so that she can survive these surgeries. She also needs to be surrounded by sisters and brothers who truly care for her and want to see her get through this very hard time. If you do not have anything positive to say, then do not say anything. Let us all try and put our sin nature on the side and lift our sister up to Jesus.
Never forget that Jesus sees everything and so do other people who might not find Jesus as a result of mean things that have been said. Let's all show and LIVE the Love of Jesus Christ in every part of our lives. God bless you!!! Maranatha!!
Yep! Guaranteed to help gain weight. Dairy Queen Oreo Blizzards are pretty good, too. ;o)

Lord Jesus, our Healer and Savior, heal completely, we beseech Thee, Thy servant Beth.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

Will send prayers for Beth.
God be with her.
Heavenly Father, We praise Your Holy Name, You are the Great Physician and You are in control of all things. We stand in agreement for Your healing of this friend of One Vike. Please surround her with mighty angels, put positive and Godly people around her. Let Your Words of Healing and Comfort be declared on this woman. We pray for the doctors and attending nurses. . .all who are responsible for her care. . .that no procedure will be done that will in any way disrupt Your healing. We thank You Father God that we can join in prayer on this site and Glorify Your Name and pray for those in need. In Jesus Name, Amen
I, too, will pray for her.

OneVike: Is she saved?
My father-in-law had the exact same procedure done last year, apparently not too many doctors can perform this surgery in the country.
I’m praying for her peace, for a full recovery, and her salvation (if she isn’t saved - this is the most important thing).
The Lord’s will be done!
In His Name! Amen!
BTTT
May it be His Will to heal your friend with a complete healing and restore her to full health; ‘Amen, ken yehi ratzon!
I had surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms a couple of years ago. The stents for them have titanium mesh and will not collapse.
Additionally, my money says that Beth is a long-time smoker. Tell her to stop smoking, as I did.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensès.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c'est à Toi qu'appartiennent le règne, 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 bènie 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!)
