FReeper Prayer request for my Father

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
Greg Moore

Greg, Are you in a position to change physicians? I mean, you are paying for the guy, if you don't like him or don't feel he is qualified, can you possibly bring in someone else?

We had the same problem with my Mother in Texas - didn't like her GP.......she, fortunately, brought in a specialist and we valued his opinion over that of her GP........we are still fighting between the two, with the best advice and help coming from the specialist...........

And the GP gives my Mother hell over everything the Specialist says........ lol

Prayers for your father!

My prayers for your father for healing and for the proper medical treatment and advice for him.

Please add my prayers that the Divine Physician will take over your Dad's case and bring about his healing. May God Bless you & your family.

Prayers for your family.

[fatima]

I will pray for your Dad.

[MistyCA]

I am sending prayers for you and your father. I completely understand your frustration with the medical care system. It sucks, for sure! Unfortunately it is the most obvious in dealing with our elders.

[Republic]

You bet I will pray for your Dad. And I would like to second and third and on and on the suggestion that you grab up your Dad and seek out a second opinion. If your Dad's doc is a grown-up, and professional, he should certainly understand the love and concern that goes behind such an attempt.

Heartfelt Hope for your fathers recovery <3

[mombonn]

Prayed for him before posting a reply. My Dad is 85, suffers from dementia, and has lived with us for over a year and a half.

I'll continue to pray for your Father when I pray for mine. The Great Physician specializes in cases that leave the doctors puzzled.

Prayers for your father and prayers that you are led to the medical care our Lord desires for your father.

[Valin]

Thanks all, I know the power of Freeper prayers has helped in the past, and I am positive that your prayers and kind thoughts will help in this instance.

You know if I were a suspicious person, I'd suspect that we're not the ones in charge.

One prayer coming up!

[cowgirlcutie]

I'm praying for your father and for the decisions that you will be making on his behalf. God Bless.

[TwoStep]

I will light a candle, for your father. I'm so sorry,that the doc, is behind the times. Maybe, you can switch, to a different doc.

[Salvation]

Can you seek a second opinion and additional tests?

Lord, may you bless gwmoore and her/his dad as they travel through their difficult time in their lives. Grant them the friends to listen, the support they need and wise counsel from an expert. We pray this in the Most Holy Name of Jesus, Christ. Amen
