Trazzie! I was thinking of you not an hour ago, wondering how and where you've been. And here you are your own self! So glad to see you.

hal, sounds like you have a lot to deal with! Hope things get better for you and yours.

I'm glad to see you too, Frelga!

Prayers, please, for my daughter Hannah, who is having a terrible year, health-wise.

You may remember that she broke her hip before Christmas, needing surgery with pins inserted and that recovery is still going on. She had to postpone her trip to see me in London because of the injury and we rescheduled it for this coming week.

She now has developed a Bartholin's cyst which is a painful infection of a certain gland in the vagina. It became infected and so she had to have it drained and a drainage catheter inserted to ensure that the entire abscess drains and heals. So she'll be flying over here with a stupid catheter in a pretty inconvenient place. And the procedure hurt like hell.

She called me yesterday in tears and she doesn't cry much. I expect the thing will heal and it isn't life-threatening but what a thing for a 21-year-old girl to be tolerating.

Please pray for healing for her - body and soul! My poor baby girl!

Oh, dear! What a lot to contend with for such a young woman!

Absolutely I'll pray for your baby girl.

Oh Jewel, my heart aches for your daughter. What a lot to go through.

I hope she'll be able to relax once she gets there. Just being with Mom makes lots of things better.

Jewel, how awful for you and your poor daughter! She has my thoughts and prayers, for sure.

The plane ride won't be any fun, but then she'll be with her Mom!

Wishing you both a happy and healing visit.

Jewel, that's horrible. More prayers and best wishes.

Yikes! Never heard of that particular ailment before (and having googled it now, hope that's the last I've heard of it). I hope that having her mother's hugs and care will ease the pain and inconvenience. She's in my prayers.

Prayers please...

I came back to work to the news that one of our most engaging, popular and talented students has been diagnosed with leukaemia, a form called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS.)

His name is Stephen - he was last year's 8th grade class president and is the kind of kid that everyone liked and respected. Not a goody-two-shoes, but not a cut-up either. He played sports and was also in orchestra and jazz band. Highly intelligent, a real thinker but also a doer...just an all-around GREAT kid.

This is just devastating news and the family is now trying to work out his treatment and their travel plans. Looks like Mom will stay in the states with Stephen, his older brother will come back here for his Junior year while Dad travels on to Moscow, where his job is taking him. If the brother is a match for a bone marrow transplant, he will return to the states.

It's just a terrible thing and everyone's prayers are welcome and needed.

I am praying for Stephen and his family. Dealing with cancer is difficult enough without having the family scattered across the world. You feel scared and alone even if everyone's around you.

I pray they will all find healing, strength and the peace that passes understanding.

I'll be praying for Stephen and his family. My heart goes out to all of them!

Jewell, how sad.

I too will offer my prayers for Stephen and his family.

Post by **Lalaith** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 5:29 pm

I will also pray.

And yet another prayer request...

The mother of a very dear friend of mine has been diagnosed with "acute renal failure." She is relatively young and they don't know what is causing it or quite how to proceed. She is being treated with a number of different drugs while they attempt to find out the underlying cause.

To make things even more difficult, my friend lives half a world away from his Mom and now is trying to decide about when and if he should return home and trying to communicate with her and his Dad via telephone and email.

He is a fairly private person, so I don't want to give names, but I'm sure God will know who you're talking about if you hold my friend and his Mom in prayer.

Post by **Primula Baggins** » Fri Aug 29, 2008 11:44 pm

I will, Jewel, and also your young friend Stephen and his family.

Post by **Lalaith** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 3:25 am

I will pray.

As will I.

I would like to ask for prayers for our dear friend Whistler, whose house is in the probable path of Hurricane Gustav and who has elderly family members depending on him and Mrs. Whistler.

He will probably abuse me severely for my presumption, but I am seriously worried.

Post by **WampusCat** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 7:37 am

I share your concern. The Whistlers will definitely be in my prayers.

I also ask your prayers for a friend of mine who is deeply depressed, in bad financial straits and trying to pull his life together.
