Prayer Thread for Yellow Rose of Texas - THIS IS NO DRILL!!

Posted on 02/13/2003 11:28:49 AM PST by TEXOKIE

Long time Freeper Yellow Rose of Texas has recently had an attempted back surgery during which her aorta, which was encased in scar tissue, was nicked and had to be repaired. In a previous prayer thread, many many folks have graciously offered their prayers and comments of encouragement to her. I spoke with Yellow Rose of Texas yesterday and here is the latest!

Her recovery to the previous surgical attempt to do the back surgery has been phenominal. She saw her doctor two days ago on Tuesday. She is doing well enough that he has scheduled her back surgery in a week for TUESDAY FEBRUARY 18, 2003. She had initially been told it would be a few weeks longer to recover, but she has amazed her doctor and he judges that she is ready for the next procedure.

Rose has asked me to thank you each and every one so very much for all your thoughts and prayers on her behalf. She asked me to quote her,

"Thank you so much. I feel each and every one of your prayers. The Good Lord is with me and my family. I dont feel scared at all. This surgery will stabilize my back and it'll all be fine. I feel so protected. I am hoping that this surgery will enable me to once more return to the freeping that I enjoy. It has seemed in my life that if something unusual can happen, it will happen to me. Please pray that the surgery be routine. NO SURPRISES!! LOL!!"

Rosie says she can feel the healing effects of the prayers. She's has a new chair and can sit longer. Next surgery is in two days and she feels very calm.

FM: You are such a good friend to have. Thanks for everything. All my best to you and yours. I hope all is going well with all of you. I think of y'all often. amom

OK, now we're all in the groove here.

I was chatting with Rosie a little while ago tonight and she sounds very well and hopeful. I gave her links to this and the earlier thread so she has them. She had to go and rest but tonight was the longest I've seen her up in quite awhile. Hopefully soon...hopefully soon...

Two Thirds, I'm saving you a place to join the circle....amom keeps trying to get us all to May-pole dance and I'm sure you could calm her down.

Seriously, however, we are right here as old friends joining with Rose to see her through this with God's grace.

I'm delighted to hear that amom had such a good conversation with Rose. Thank you, amom, for providing links for the prayer threads to her.

I do not have another update at this time. I just want to remind all of Rose's friends that she will be traveling today and will be undergoing her back surgery tomorrow. I have not been zealous about keeping the thread bumped by doing a lot of replies over this last week mainly because I did not want to wear out my welcome with you. Thank all of you so much for so graciously offering your prayers and keeping the thread bumped!

(If you wish to be placed on the YellowRoseofTexas ping list or to be removed, please let me know by freepmail.)

OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN,

We gather together once more on behalf of our freeper friend, Yellow Rose of Texas. We are so very grateful that you have seen fit to answer the many prayers said for her to recover quickly and well from her most recent surgical experience.

Father, overshadow Rose and her family this day and the days to come. This will not be an easy process, but we know that her faith and love of you will make it bearable. Please grant her the greatest mercy and comfort that your Great Law will allow. Take the love we have for her and surround her with it. Let that love continue to be the tangible offering of our hearts which will make the difference in helping her through this.

We are grateful that she is under the care of a very excellent doctor and surgical team as well as a highly competent hospital staff. Overshadow each of these individuals who have anything to do with her case. Let them be protected and guided by your wisdom. Grant them peace and insight as they deal with Rose, and all other patients under their care. Let there be an extraordinary purging of that hospital of any and all momentums of chaos, confusion, and error making circumstances, which can so easily take place in a busy hospital. Let your comfort and healing angels be sent to the hospital for the blessing of our Rose and her family as well as all other people who will be in that hospital over the coming days.

Father, we ask that you will surround the airplane and all other conveyances taking Rose and her family to the hospital this day. We ask that any and all of your children who are traveling this day be protected as well.

Father, we know that you are quick to reply to our prayers. Grant us a miracle of healing for our Rose if it is according to thy will. Many of us have the earnest belief that the interactions we have on this forum are very important to the divine plan of this nation, and we also hold as precious each and every person who comes here with the intent in their hearts to serve this nation. Over the years our Rose has shown herself to be a leader on this forum. If it is your will, we ask that you will allow her to go through this process quickly with complete healing so that she may take her place amongst us actively once more. We ask this as well for any other freeper who is in need of our prayers.

Father, we praise you and thank you for inclining your gracious ear to our prayers. Let all of this be done only according to thy will. Multiply these prayers to serve not only our sweet Rose, but also any of your children to whom you may choose to grant intercession according to that holy will.

We ask all of this in the name of the One Sent.
Amen
