Hi there!
I had planned to come back today
with some fun stories about
my time away.
However, some things take
precedence over fun things.
Below are three people that
really need prayer
and healing thoughts and
well-wishes.
The first is Erich.
You can read his original story here.
That was well over
A YEAR+ AGO.
You can imagine the angst
his mom, Carole, is going through.
That feeling of being helpless
and not being able to help your child.
Here is part of her latest email to me.
Things are not going the way I have prayed they would here. Erich went for his usual scan after 12 weeks on maintenance treatment with the antigen since the radiation and antigen had made the cancer inactive. They opted then for maintenance treatment for the next 12 weeks. That being completed he went for another scan and that was not good..
The scan was done a week ago Friday, and we went to the oncologist for results a week later. That was a few days ago. There was reported to be an enlargement--- they type of which they cannot tell-- whether it is the tumor growing or scar tissue. A new chemo BOTH bi-weekly and the antigen treatment again is prescribed. Then another scan. If that works, OK. If not, the surgery is facing him . If he chooses to have it as it is a horrible surgery that makes even the oncologist wince. Hence, for this total last effort via medicines they can recommend.
Pray for her as well as for Erich.
Also, please continue praying for
my friend, Jettie.
You can read about her latest surgery here.
Look at that baby face!
Her surgeries have been rife with
complications and this one is no exception.
She was hospitalized for several days
after she was released for an infection.
There are two types of bacterial infections
at the surgical site
and she is being treated with an IV at home.
If this doesn't work, the next step is
NOT GOOD.
Also, Ted (same post) has had a
rough road to recovery.
His meds are on hold at this point
because of some kidney problems.
Pray that the problem is resolved
so that he can continue on his
treatment plan.
Susie (She Junks) is holding on!
As always,
if you don't pray,
please send up healing thoughts
and well wishes.
Thank you all so much
and I will be back with some
'stories' in a day or so...
after I catch up on my work load here.
Love you guys----
You are the best followers EVER!!!!

Always in my prayers - all of those with need. As all of you all have included my Mom in yours as well - she had 1st chemo, did not go well, treatment stopped 1/2 thru last Thursday, sent to ER, admitted with afib off the chart, got it under control by Saturday so they released her, and she had rough night Sat nite with some chemo side effects but as she only had 1/2 a treatment not as bad as could be ... but it is looking like her cardiologist will be putting the kabash on the chemo.. which leaves her with 6 mos, maybe a year left... - we will know more this week. So I share my prayers with ALL of you...

This verification on your blog is impossible. I click them all multiple times and it said I am wrong. I went to voice and amazingly I heard it properly.
Prayers for sure❤️
My heart goes out to all these people who are going thru such horrible illnesses. Life can be so hard and these medical treatments are so painful and difficult. I am not sure that I could be so brave. Bless them all.
There is so much illness and disease in our world today, and when it strikes so close to home, it's even more devastating and heartbreaking. I will truly be keeping your three friends in my prayers, Diana.

So sorry to hear these sad stories and I do pray that each one is given all they need for the journey they are on. I know soooo many people right now that need prayer and strength and hope...my prayer list just gets longer and longer. Sometimes it can just be so disheartening. But God is good and He is in control. So glad you got some time away. How I love the beach but doesn't look like we are going to make it this year. Can't get hubby off his carcass to decide what to do!!!!! I've not had time to read blogs recently but just saw your PINK bike and....I love it!!!!! Who wants baby pink when you can have that pink???? Thanks for sharing those who need prayer...you have a good heart:)
Oh my, my heart goes out to that Mom of her precious son Erich. I know exactly where she is in this, and have been through this with our own dear son. They will all be in my prayers as they go on this journey of life. God is with them in the midst of all the pain and struggles to keep fighting. May He continue to give each of these mentioned the courage and will to keep fighting and to stay strong in the Lord. Praying now.
Sending up prayers for all these dear hearts in need. xoxo
Praying my dear friend, please keep us updated.

SO much heartbreak and suffering. My heart goes out to all of them. xo Laura
Di, prayers going up for all those who are suffering and hoping for a miracle, or just some relief! If you have time, wondering if you could do one of your wonderful posts about Janet from MacQue blog? Her loss has hit me hard as I wasn't expecting it. My heart aches for Mac, and I love that he has made some posts to let her readers know of his loss as well as to share Janet's paintings with us. God bless everyone with good health I pray.
" You will keep in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed in You, because he trusts in You"

Praying for you mom and your family and your other prayer request.
God bless you
