Prayer Request AGAIN For Linda & Update on Toby & Me

A few weeks ago I asked you to pray for 
Her best friend, Deb, posted this yesterday
and Linda has asked for extended prayer.
My bff, Linda is in the hospital.  She had another echocardiogram (Nov. 12th) and her heart was worse.  The doctors have NOT been listening to her complaints!  The cardiologist's office told her to go to St. Lukes in Milwaukee which is a much larger hospital and specializes in heart disease.  Already the IV Lasix is helping, or at least, working.  Please continue to keep her in your prayers.  You may put this on your blog.

Edited to Add:
I just received this at 8:30 am from Deb this morning:

Linda's condition is VERY serious.  I broke down yesterday when we went to visit.  I am so afraid for her, but she is being strong, and following all the medical advice, etc.  She knows me, and knows I cry.  Please spread the word on the blogs.  Not everyone reads mine.  Prayers for Linda and also prayers that I can be a good support to her.
 

If they cannot get her heart issue resolved
they will not be able to do the cancer surgery
that she desperately needs.

On another note-
Several months ago you prayed here for 
Toby, hubby of Teresa @ Magazine Your Home
He had some pretty serious cancer surgery.
I asked Teresa the other day and she
said he is recovering beautifully and is back to
his sassy self!
Prayers DO Work!

As for me and all you who thought I was 
SICK FROM TOO MUCH
Coconut Cream Pie.- LOL--

Let me just say----NOT SO!
The pie incident was over a week ago.
My granddaughter complained of 
her tummy hurting for a few days.
I think I might have picked up the bug
from her.
I AM feeling better this morning.
At least I can drink a cup of coffee
and THAT is a 
GOOD THING as Martha Stewart says!

I am going to lay low for one more day here
and hope to be completely fine by tomorrow~

Praying for Linda... Thanks, too, for the good report.

Oh my! BJ posted the pie recipe...must snag. Are you sure that you didn't overdo? =D Our tummies are not made out of iron the way they once were. Feel better and lie low!

Praying very hard for Linda. She is one pretty lady.
I remember Toby and his handsome military photo. Happy to know he is better now.
My upper respiratory illness started with a stomach bug so I hope you don't get that!

Susan Shull said...

Joining my prayers to yours. So much illness and pain and sadness in this world, but this world is not our home!

Susie said...

Prayers for Linda. For her to become strong and her heart to heal. That her surgery can be done .That is good news of Toby. Diana, I did tease you about too much pie...now I feel badly about that. :( I Hope you get well soon. Maybe Hero will wait on you today and bring you some soup. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

Kelly said...

Oh my goodness. Linda is dealing with so much right now. My FIL was dealing with both heart issues and cancer at the same time and it was very difficult to treat one thing without it affecting the other. That just puts a double kink in things. I hope the doctors will be able to find the right solution to her problem. I hope you continue to get better too.

Diana,
I hope you are feeling better today and over whatever tried making you sick. Our Eagles are in Green Bay and feeling the winterly blast! Now prayers are something I too know work. There is such powerful energy in collected prayer and I will continue my prayers for Linda. I think Linda realizes that Deb is a very special friend, like an earth angel.
Be well, be happy!
xo,
Vera

Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces said...

Keeping Linda in my prayers...sounds like a hard and scary time! Glad Toby is doing better and you are, too! (those grandchildren have a way of bringing around fun germs, don't they lol)

Thanks Diana, for getting the news out there about Linda! I am so glad that you are feeling better and that Toby is too! It is so encouraging to hear about answered prayer! I received much comfort at church today, and happy knowing that Linda's daughter and her husband are visiting today. It is such a long trip for so many, and now we have the snow too! Blessings to you, Diana and to all who are praying!

Teresa@magazineyourhome said...

Thank you sweet Diana for asking about Toby, yes he is doing so much better and I want to thank all of you for your prayers. I am praying for Linda that they get her problems under control so they can take the next step in helping her. As for YOU Diana, I totally know what you mean about eating the goodies, I'm so guilty of overdoing it on more than one occasion for sure!

Joy Junktion said...

Stomach bugs are just annoying!! Hope you are feeling better today! I'm sorry that Linda is not doing well, such a difficult situation for her and her family, definitely praying! So happy to hear Toby is doing better! Cancer is such a BEAST!!! Praying for all! Blessings, Cindy

Doreen@foxdenrd said...

It bugs me to no end when dr.s don't listen!! I hope Linda can get the help she desperately needs. Thank goodness Teresa's husband is on the mend!! Such great news!

Brenda Pruitt said...

I think it is a big issue that male doctors don't always listen to women. My thoughts are with her. Life is so precious and fleeting.

Annesphamily said...

I will continue to pray for Linda. Please add me to your prayer list, I lost my job without warning on Thursday. To say they blind sighted me is an understatement, I am sure it was my age and the fact that the doctors sister in law is filled with evil and hated me from the moment she met me. I have been praying about it all and hopeful he did not tell a fib and plans to give me a severance package, a small one. The law states I should have received my final pay check 24 hours after my dismissal. Nothing yet. Please pray.
I know Linda has a serious situation but we have to trust the Lord. He is walking withher, I feel it. Blessings, Anne
