FReeper Prayer request for my Father

16 JUN 2002 | gwmoore

I would appreciate the prayers of all FReepers and their families for my father, Mr. Charles R. Moore, who suffered a stroke or a reasonable facsimile therof, last Friday (this is a ball park figure, as I believe that the event happened Tuesday a week ago.

Dad is 85, and has been an active person his whole life, and was active until this happened. He is now 99% aphasic, and has hemiplegia on his right side. His physician who is handling the case is kind of the type of physician who, in my opinon, has not picked up a medical text nor followed the literature since He recieved his MD.

My Dad is being given a week of rehab,which, frankly, I feel is a little premature in coming. At that time, "decisions" (the MD's word) will have to be made as to what will happen next. I would like to make statements about the physician who is in charge of the case, but I don't feel like being the recipient of litigation regarding his qualifications. I will however say that my general opinion is that of things associated with ducks.

I would appreciate the prayers of FReepers and lurkers for an improvement, but, as we all know, such things are best left for our Savior and Great Physician.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts during his time of need.

Thanks also, for all the FReepers who are Keeping the Faith for Freedom and serving our Country at home and overseas.

May God bless you all

My prayers are on the way this Father's Day.

Prayers being said as we type for your father's healing, in Jesus' name. As someone who has worked in the medical field for some years, and whose daughter is an RN, I can tell you that there are a lot of incompetent doctors out there. If you have any doubts at all, get a second opinion. Therapy can work wonders with stroke patients if it's done properly. If your doctor doesn't want you to get a second opinion, you have a problem with your doctor.

With God all things are possible.

My prayers go out to you and your Dad on this Father's Day. With the Socialist Medical system we have now, you almost have to doctor yourself and your family.

If I may suggest doing a google.com search of "stroke, breakthrough", you may find the latest treatment for your Dad's type of stroke and mention it to your Doctor. If your not happy with his response don't be shy about asking for a second opinion.

May God bless, and keep you and your family.

Prayers included for your Dad this day.........

Ditto on getting the second opinion GW. More MD's these days seem to "pushers" versus "healers"......at least the one or two I have encountered of late.

Stay Safe !

Rest comfortably knowing that your father is being lifted up in prayer to The Great Physician by many of your friends on the forum. We pray also for peace and comfort to you and your family. These are not mere words expressed. There is action behind the words that say, "We are praying for you."

May GOD Bless you and your family as you continue to serve Him and witness to the Glory of GOD.

My prayers will be for your father, you, your family and for his physican. At 85 my grandmother had a series of small stokes and managed to recover from each of them.

I will keep your father in my prayers. I lost my father 13 years ago and there is rarely a day goes by that I don't think of him with a grateful heart.

Dear God,

Please rest Your hand of healing upon Mr. Moore. Cause his strength to be replaced by Your strength. Repair all the damage of the stroke, and let every part of his body return to its proper function. We thank You, Father, that You have given us these earthly fathers to treasure and to honor. We commit this wonderful father to You, knowing that You love him immeasurably, and understanding that You will take care of all his needs. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Great Physician, we pray. Amen.

I would also urge a second opinion. All the best to you and your dad...

He and your family have been added to my prayer list. May God lead in all your decision makings. May He grant you peace and comfort at this time.

Prayers for your father have been sent in the Name of Jesus. I will continue praying for him. Greg, please consult other doctors. Too many times older doctors do not keep up with current procedures, and this doctor may not be providing the right care for your father. Don't worry about hurting the doc's feelings, or making him mad. This is your dad's life, and you have every right to seek other opinions. God Bless you and your family!
