Vanity - Prayer Request: My Mother's in ICU

Hello Freepers. This is Anigrrl. Most of you may not know me, but I'm often on Catholic debate threads and some other threads.

My mother came down with a severe kidney infection and blockage and is in critical care with subsequent infections throughout her whole body. She's in very bad shape. My family and friends have been praying for her for days and she's actually started to show some improvement, although she has a long way to go.

I believe in the power of prayer and I would ask that anyone who reads this could lift up my mother, Carole Ponte, in your prayers and ask God to restore her health. She's still a fairly young woman (59) and I want to give my children the gift of a grandmother. Thank you freepers!

my prayer

[Theophilus]

Lord, I pray that you may yet find bounteous glory in the mortal life of Carole Ponte and specifically that her grandchildren, Your workmanship, may grow in Your nurture and admonition through her ministry to them. I thank You for every providence filled second You have given her since she was conceived and beg Your continued gracious and loving indulgence. In Christ's Holy Name, Amen.

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
-- St. Paul, Letter to the Romans 8:25-26

My the Spirit of the living God comfort you and your mother.

I just wanted to give you all an update. I guess this should get added to the praise report, because my mom was taken off the vent this morning and is breathing on her own. They probably won't move her to a regular room for another day or so, just to keep an eye on her, but she is well on her way to recovery. It's really, really incredible.

I can't thank all of you enough who prayed for her and I hope I can return the favor to pray for the struggles and trials in your lives as well! God bless you! God heals!

[Alamo-Girl]

Praise God!!! Thank you so much for the update! Prayers continue for the whole family during her recovery.

[billbears]

Amen for that!!! Will continue to pray for a full recovery

[Dajjal]

That's wonderful news! God bless you both!

[DouglasKC]

Thanks to the Lord and more prayers for further recovery.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Thanks for sharing your happy news. God hears all prayers and guides every recovery.

[RnMomof7]

Praise God!
