Healing Needs Thread

Hubby started new job last week! Thanks for prayers.

A very dear, sweet 86 yr old lady friend of mine, Dorothy, fell today and broke her hip. Please pray for her. She can't take many pain meds due to a heart condition. She had a vertabrae collapse a few months ago and had to go without any pain meds. I'm afraid the drs are going to not give her anything this time. She is such a wonderful, funny person and I'm heartbroken that she's suffering.

Kali cat is recovering from an operation she had yesterday. Any good wishes, healing thoughts or positive energy sent her way would be greatly appreciated. A boost for me as well would be great. I am tired.

Many thanks,
Judy

Prayers Needed for New Brunswick Family



Please join this prayer team:

This couple lives in Fredericton , New Brunswick , CANADA .

Prayer request for Gary and Cindy Hogan. Gary is serving in Iraq while his young wife is fighting cancer here. Prayer is a powerful thing. Tough times don't last...Tough people do!!!

Here is Gary 's request.................

My name is Gary Hogan. Some of you receiving this know me, some do not. My wife, Cindy, is 32 years old and has just been diagnosed 3 days ago, with stage 4 cervical cancer and her chances for survival are very slim. She was pregnant with our second child and miscarried recently at 3 months, and now we know why. This is a request for you to forward this e-mail to everyone you know, asking for prayer. The more people that pray for her to be healed, the better. It only takes a second to hit "forward". Please do it and don't delete this. Your prayer can, and perhaps will, save her life. Please pray and ask everyone you know to pray for the HEALING of Cindy and the removal of all cancer in her body, so she may enjoy all that life has to offer, and to continue to be a wonderful mother to our 5-year-old son, Michael. The power of Prayer is unsurpassed. I want the whole world to have her in their prayers the next few weeks. God will hear our cry. Please do not be offended by my plea. This is only a request for your help.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and helping with our request for healing! No words can express the power we have when we each do a little to come together.

Regards, Cindy's in-love husband - Gary

The Hogmans are real and Gary did write this request in mid-2001, as his wife was undergoing extensive radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
By late August, 2001, Cindy's tumors had shrunk significantly.
Gary and his family are truly grateful to the world for their prayers, but he adds: "there are so many people in this world suffering from cancer,
pray for them all."

New to the board, have been trying positive affirmations and am looking into an energy reading, in need of emotional healing and health healing for my husband. If all could help....thank you

[drgnfly]

Hi everyone, I'm in need of energy, prayers, love & light, anything you've got to give.

I'm battling some mysterious illness, and I'm not sure what it is, I've been thinking West Nile, but I have yet to find out for sure.

I'm very scared because it doesn't seem to be letting up. It's effecting my entire body, nervous system, organs, and mental state. I've had it now for three weeks or more. I caught a cold on top of it.

I'm so scared. I can't even express. And I feel so helpless and alone with this. It's just been a nightmare.

I'm trying to find a doctor that can help. Meanwhile I'm just trying to survive my days.

Thank you,

Melissa

Greetings all;

I am a homeschool mom of 6 who has been dealing with gallbladder pain, stomach pain, and nausea all summer. My GP has done many tests but would like to do more. I need prayer and loving thoughts that this will just be nothing and that the gallbladder will heal. I need to be a mom again.
Thanks to all.

My sister Mary had a pathological fracture of the femur bone last night... essentially her thighbone snapped in half while she was just normally walking around and her knee was also dislocated at the same time. She's in the hospital and I have my 9 year old niece staying here.

I'm so worried about her. I'm really scared. She's been checked for bone density not too long ago and they said it was fine? Could be b/c of bone cancer or b/c of an infection in the bone. Both very bad. Normally your femur is one of the strongest bones in your body, wouldn't normally break unless you were in a car accident or fell from a big height. She was just getting up to go to the bathroom and heard a big CRACK and it snapped.
:-( She's only 37.

UPDATE: My sister has had rheumatoid arthritis since she was an infant. It's been in remission since she was a teenager, and she has artificial knees and hips. The Dr says he doesn't think it's bone cancer or an infection, which is good. The bad part is, he says that even though her bone density is good, her bones are so small b/c she didn't bear weight on them when she was growing up, so they are like a child's bones holding up an adult body. He says there is scar tissue showing other stress fractures that have healed over. She prob had a stress fracture that just got worse and worse until it snapped. She may have to deal with this more in the future. I'm so sad for her. As if she doesn't have enough problems, now she has to worry about breaking a bone during normal everyday things... She will be in the hospital/rehab for 6-8 weeks at least.

Could use all the prayers/good thoughts/vibes/positive energy we can get. Thanks.

Blessings to all of you, my thoughts are with you. You will be suprised how when we pull together things change. My heart is with all of you too.

I had a bit of a health scare (severe anemia) the second week of January that was in the making for a very long time, probably years.

I haven't been feeling well for quite some time; years in fact but it got really bad these past few months, and in December/beginning of January, things really accelerated and took a nose dive. Tired constantly, no energy, irritable. My nails were paper thin and peeled off, not broke off. Cracks in the corners of my mouth. Rapid, racing heart, irregular heartbeats, palpitations, head rushes, feeling faint, extremely fast pulse while doing normal activities, weakness, catching a lot of 'bugs,' lots of headaches, irritability, pale skin, short of breath all the time, chronic constipation, low/no appetite, foggy thinking, forgetfulness, insomnia. I couldn't think straight (even here I have said things that made no sense, or were out of character and not a true reflection of myself, hence why I haven't been posting much for the past couple of years). I was unable to remain standing when I took a shower; I had to sit down in the tub. Then I had to sit on the toilet with the lid down when I got out. Of course I was able to explain away all of these symptoms. Stress. Poor eating habits. Cold, dry weather. Not sleeping good. Yes, I am the queen of denial.

On Tuesday, Jan. 8th during a staff meeting, people in the office kept staring at me, which irritated me to no end. I sat there, hunched in my chair, and glared at them all. Afterwards, I was besieged with people telling me I looked like crap; I wasn't just pale, I was yellowish pale. Dark circles under my eyes. My boss, who had been after me for a while to go to the doctor, finally convinced me to go that afternoon. Of course I was still working (as a hospice cna, lots of walking, lifting, bending, stooping) right up until my doctor appointment. He drew blood for a CBC (which I've had done more than once in the far distant past; they always came back normal, so I figured these would too in a couple of days). Well, doc called me at 11:30 that night. I was in bed but heard a guy's voice sounding urgent on my answering machine, so I got up and listened to the message. Luckily I have caller id so I called him back. He kept saying 'this is ugly Cindy, this is really ugly.' My hemoglobin was 3.9. Normal is 12-16. My iron was also extremely low, like 5%. On top of all that, the test results also revealed an under active thyroid, but that was the least of his worries. He wanted me to go to the hospital immediately for a blood transfusion, but being a single parent (and a pet owner), I can't just up and go anywhere at the last minute. So then he wanted me at his office first thing the next morning. I was finally able to drag myself there at 10 am. More blood drawn. Yep, the numbers were correct; basically I had almost no blood in my body. I had somehow, very slowly over the years, lost it. I finally drove myself to the hospital about 2 pm that day. I was there until Friday. I had to have five units of blood and a unit of iron put in me through an IV. I even had to be put on oxygen for awhile.

My doctor (and all the nurses at work and at the hospital) had never seen anyone with hemoglobin that low who was still upright, let alone still working. I'm told I'm lucky I didn't damage my liver and kidneys and have heart failure; my poor heart had been working way too hard, for way too long, to get what little blood I had left pumped throughout my body. I'm told I was very close to dying. I sense they are right; I had a funny feeling, deep in my heart before I went to the doctor on Tuesday, that I would collapse and possibly die before the end of that week. I had run out of denial.

I'm not sure what caused this, but I suspect that it could have been the massive amounts of NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen) I've been taking for many many years for chronic pain/fibromyalgia. My two doctors (I was assigned a hematologist at the hospital) will be keeping a close eye on my hemoglobin for awhile. If it starts to drop again I'll have to swallow the hose (and drop my pants for it also), something I really don't want to do.

So if anyone still reading this could send me some healing energy to stop up the leak (if there is one) so I won't lose anymore blood and continue to make it instead, I would really appreciate it. I think it is probably in my stomach somewhere. That's where it hurts the most. I don't know what else could have caused this. You intuitives out there, any ideas???

I don't know how to word my second request for healing energy; it's not for physical healing. It's more for the wall of denial in my mind that kept me from going to the doctor sooner, before I became so dangerously critical. I just kept telling myself to suck it up, don't be weak/a wimp, stop complaining, get over myself, just power through it, it's nothing to be worried about. And since I'm a very strong woman, I powered through this until I literally almost dropped dead. It took me awhile before I was even able to give myself permission to put this request here. And now I feel like I've talked to much, told too much. Can anyone here say issues???

Blessings to all of you, and to everyone everywhere who needs healing energy.

Dearest Willow ~ sending energy for healing and best wishes. I hear you on your second request; I too have spent too much time in the "denial" and "I'm ok, I'll just keep going" issue. Know that you can take care of yourself and the world won't fall apart In fact, it's even better that way because then you'll have more of you in the world. KWIM? Love to you.

[Willow]

Thank you anita. I appreicate your kindness!

Hi All,

My mom is 68 and in intensive care in Brantford, ON. She is on assisted breathing and her medical team says it doesn't look good. They tried to take her off the assisted breathing, but she only lasted 20 min when they had to put it on again.
I would please ask for some healing and blessings for her as well as some encouragement and support for me (who's out in Edmonton) and my family.
Thank you
