Hi Charlotte, David is pretty sick. He has been fighting for a good breath since Tuesday and he is becoming tired, I am taking him back to the hospital today and praying for the Lord's divine healing swiftly and that whatever the treatment for Dave is going to be that it can be done by myself and his dad at home. Please join us in praying. Love to you  lonnisue
Update 2/8/03
I am sorry I have not been on the computer until this afternoon.  Praise our Heavenly Father they let me bring David home again on Thursday with schedule of treatment that has been pretty time and energy consuming. I am almost a little hesitant to say that I think he has turned the corner more towards recovery than becoming worse.  He is pretty sore from percussion every two hours on his chest and back and tired from having either a breathing treatment, meds, suctioning, or the percussion around the clock but he has actually given me a couple of small but hopeful smiles this morning and he is still at home!!!!  I have actually felt God so strong throughout this episode.  Every time I feel tired or the devil tries to plant a seed of worry I actually can feel the Peace of Our Lord push it all away!! This is definitely a first for us.  David has never become this full of fluids without requiring hospitalization.  He has never been this sick without a severe infection somewhere.  The hospital is such a bad place for him and  I have to quote the nurses when they check his breathing sometimes, they either say" I'm seeing it but not believing it" (which  means they don't believe which ever monitor they are looking at), or "I'm seeing it and believing it", which is what I am doing.  I am actually seeing God's work through myself and David with this illness like I have never done before. I won't know for sure until tomorrow morning when we take him back for more chest x-rays if we have kept this from the lower regions of his lungs but for him to give me those two little smiles tells me he is fighting right along with us which is a good sign. I am so THANKFUL to Our Lord God and our prayer family.  I still have to keep Dave on his schedule so right now I should be resting with him instead of on the computer but you know something??  I really miss you guys but I have felt all of your prayers for us. Every single one and I love you and everyone for them. I will get back to you in a day or so. Thank You, God Bless You, We Love You David and lonnisue

Hi everyone. Our love and the Lord's blessings to each of you, as you know David has just come through a very miserable illness 100%. We were prepared for his hip surgery on March 17th, then  we received a call yesterday,  David's surgery has been bumped again until the first week in April.  There is another very sweet little boy who needs his surgery ASAP so that he may reap all the benefits of having the procedure at a young age (6) which include possibilities that were never an option for Dave.  I had every intention to argue down anyone or anything that would change the surgery date for David, but as soon as I heard that there was a child that this surgery could be a miracle for,  I cried out my frustration and cried thankful tears also, that it was God's will to work through this little boy and God's time for him. I am waiting for the nurse to get back to me if this child's parents will let me have his name and age and them mine so that I can post prayer request for him. The Good Lord has again shown me that this is not the time for David so we will just keep waiting!!  I know I sound a little disappointed and truthfully I am but it is all going to work out IN GOD'S TIME!  As soon as I get a name for this little boy I will be bringing him to all of you for prayer, in the mean time keep David in your hearts for continued good health until his surgery! My love to you all lonnisue
Update 3/26/03
Hi everybody! I want to update everyone on my son David.  His surgery is scheduled for March 7th.  That gives me twelve days to put 3.5 pounds on him (doctors orders) so I will be off the computer for a day or two until I can get him regulated on twenty-four hour feedings.  Please pray for the Lord's guidance and direction for me as I administer to David, pray for him to thrive and for illness to stay away from us so that he makes this surgery date. I will be praying for all of your prayer needs,  for our military, our president, injured military, POW's, all of their families, and for a swift end to this war.    My love to you as well as the Lord's blessings Love and God Bless You! lonnisue
Update 4/4/03
Hello to each one of you! Well, the day has finally arrived for my son David to have his surgery.  Everything is finalized and we should he should be in surgery by 8:30 A.M. on Monday.  This is such a blessing to finally be getting through this. Please keep us in prayer over the weekend and especially Monday during surgery-me for the Lord's love and peace to be worn by me like a shield to keep Satan from trying to bother me with worry and anxiety.  David, for guidance and direction and skill to be imparted on his surgeons, the anesthesiologist and nurses by our Heavenly Lord.  For a safe, uneventful, successful procedure and for Heavenly monitoring and management of his pain during surgery and his recovery. Since I can't have any of you with me during this and won't even be able to get on the computer with you  I am printing every reply (again-remember this is the third try!) and bringing you all with me that way!  and I will be including everyone in my hourly praying!  Also I won't be on the computer at all until David gets out of the hospital.  Yes, I am one of those mothers that never leave the hospital and probably am on every nurses hit list at the end of it all.  I will keep you all posted as I will have to come home every couple of days at least long enough to check on my daughter and grand kids which could also use prayer that the lord watch over them and keep them all okay. I am so very Thankful that our God is an AWESOME God and can do so many things in so many places just through prayer! So-Love to you all and the Lord's blessings also.  Please send this everywhere! Love and God Bless You!  lonnisue & David
Update 4/11/03
Hello Everyone! I have a very major BIG praise report and update on David.  It has been only five days since his surgery and we are at home!!  Yep! At Home! All our many prayers were most definitely answered by Our AWESOME most HEAVENLY FATHER! Everything went wonderfully.  All Glory to God!  Not one single hitch.  No breathing problems, no pneumonia, not one single bad thing.  I am truly amazed, at this truly great act of Love Our Lord has shown for my David.  And Thankful? You Bet." The Lord is my strength, and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped......" Psalm 28:7 NIV. The best thing was yesterday when David sat up in a chair without pain.  It was so heart warming to see him actually sitting up, relaxed and content, no grimacing in pain or fidgeting and fussing because his hips hurt him so.  I have no words that come close to expressing how thankful to Our Lord and to all of you I am.  We still have to keep a close watch for any kind of infection and I look to the Lord to help us with that too! I will be away from the computer for a few more days, sitting right next to my son as he heals.  Thanking Our Lord with every breath for yet another in the many, acts of Love He has shown us. My Love and the Lord's Blessings to all of you.  Love and God Bless You!  lonnisue and David.
Update 4/16/03
David seems to be having a problem, we are not sure if it is an intestinal slowing or blockage from pain meds or something else.  I wish he could  talk to me but he can't so I am asking for prayer that Our Heavenly Father who knows exactly what the matter is, guide and direct me and or the doctor's to the source quickly and through us with Him resolve it and continue to keep a healing hand on David. Thank You all. David is actually doing real well after his surgery except for this, which has not actually developed into a problem but it is causing discomfort for him Love to you. lonnisue.
  Update 4/24/03
Hi Everybody!My love and the Lord's Blessings to each of you. Just want to give you an update on my son David. He had the staples removed from his incisions today!  He is really doing so much better than I ever imagined and has through this whole thing! Yesterday he straightened his legs by himself for the first time since surgery or even the first time in over three years. I wish you all could have seen his eyes get so wide with surprise and wonder at this!  It filled me with so much love for our Lord Jesus that this look on my sons face was His will. We have had David fitted for a new wheelchair!  He asks (demands!) with frequent loud noises and head nods to get up in his chair and is happy just being pushed from room to room in the house!  He enjoys the two hours of driving to and from the doctors sitting in a regular car seat and looking out the window at all the cars on the freeway.  He is a little frightened of the big rigs!)  All without the severe pain that his legs had caused him for so many years.  Tomorrow will be his first tub bath without pain!  And I know that look of surprise will be there and it is slowly turning to one of understanding as I keep telling "see God fixed your legs".  I have to tell you all that your prayers and kind words were not wasted by me.  I have a huge (3-4 inch tall) stack of replies to all my requests.  If it weren't for your support I would not have been as strong as I have needed to be for David. I love you all and I pray so very hard that the Lord hears and answers your every prayer needs swiftly.  Love and Blessings lonnsiue

Heavenly Father I lift up Jean to you in prayer. She is in the Intensive care Unit at William Beaumont Hospital. She is now in acute kidney failure. She had a pace maker put in on January 7th, everything went fine. On January 17th, she was rushed to the emergency room as her cumadine (blood thinner) levels were extremely dangerous (too high). They stabilized that and discovered that her hemoglobin levels were too low. She was given a transfusion and her husband was told that he could take her home. She then started vomiting, they gave her a shot to combat that and sent her home. Her husband tried to take care of her the best he could, her six children tried their best to help. By the following Wednesday, she still could not eat and was extremely weak. Her husband and daughter Robin took her to her hemoglobin doctor, he took one look at her and sent them over to the emergency! room. Jean was admitted and the tests began. Very strangely, her face began to fill with fluid and her liver enzymes were very high. By Saturday, she was in such acute abdominal pain, they decided they had to do emergency exploratory surgery. This happened at 11:00 p.m.  The good news is that the worst fears of conditions such as a perforated bowel were ruled out. The surgery did show that her liver was in extreme distress. This usually happens from an auto accident or forceful blow, a blood clot, toxic doses of medication such as Tylenol, or Hepatitis A, B, or C. - none of which she has had or has. Her liver now appears to be working and the enzyme levels have dropped to a still high 1100 as of today's blood test. Now, the doctors are dealing with acute kidney failure. For an unknown reason, her kidneys have stopped functioning. They have given her medication to try to get the kidneys to start working, they will give more this evening. If this does not work, they will! start dialysis tomorrow. This is serious as her blood pressure must be monitored, it has been fluctuating in the low ranges. There are also other complications. She has been sedated to almost a coma-like state since the exploratory surgery. She does not seem to be in pain. Her Husband Elmer is devastated, he is still recovering from pneumonia yet he has been at the hospital every day for the entire visiting hours from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Lord I ask that you wrap Jean in your arms of love. So much has happened to her in just a short period of time. I ask that you cover her with your healing power from above. I ask  that you remove any pain and discomfort that she may be having. I come before your Heavenly Throne on her behalf, believing that through you all things are possible and I ask that you restore her kidneys to function normal, I ask that her hemoglobin levels, liver enzyme levels and  blood pressure be restored to normal ranges. I ask that you brin! g her through this illness, free from complications, completely healed. I ask that she be a testimony to the doctors, medical staff, family and friends of your healing power and of the power of prayer. I ask that you give comfort to her husband Elmer and children as they await the outcome. I ask that you draw each one close to you. I ask that a GOOD REPORT be given. I ask for a speedy recovery. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father I lift up Peter to you in prayer. He had surgery in 2001 as a result of having a brain tumor. He is forty-eight years old, sometimes he has migraines along with other symptoms, such as slurred speech when he gets tired. The shunt, or tube that was placed in his head to drain fluid always gets plugged and that might be when the symptoms increase, he goes back in a lot for this to be cleared or replaced. He is maintaining status quo for the time being until he makes up his mind for further surgery. He is afraid to go in as it was hard to regain his previous status before the tumor, and the pain is horrible. He became a Christian, (THANK YOU LORD!) and now uses new wisdom to sit and share with others in hospice.  He is very mellow now and compassionate.  Lord I ask that you wrap Peter in your arms of love.  I thank you for bringing him safely through surgery in 2001 and I thank you for his salvation. I ask that you draw him close to you. I ask that you cover him with your healing power from above. I ask that you remove any pain and discomfort that he may be having. If healing is to come through more surgery, I ask that you remove any fear that he may be having and replace it with peace and calmness in knowing that you are with him every step of the way. I ask that you give him wisdom in making his decision. If it is your will that healing come through the hands of a surgeon, I ask that you bring him safely through, free from complications, completely healed. I ask that his recovery be free from the terrible pain that he encountered the first surgery. I pray that he will be a blessing to those in hospice. I ask that you open their hearts to feel, their eyes to see and their ears to hear your wonderful love when he shares the GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST with them. I pray that he will be a testimony to all of your healing power and of the power of prayer. I pray for salvation to all who come in his path. I ask for complete healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
 

Heavenly Father I lift up Sonya to you in prayer.  She was just diagnosed and operated on for a brain tumor. She is about sixty years old and her brain tumor seems to be malignant and the doctors said some was left.  She needs radiation and chemotherapy.  She needs to know if she will be able to talk and walk. Sonya was a singer in a ladies group that performed without music, her  family is worried if she will be able to return to a normal life. Jerrilynn witnessed to them about her brother Peter who also had a brain tumor removed in 2001. She witnessed to them that he is up and moving. If it is your will Lord, she too will be able to walk and talk, but for now, she sleeps a lot and suffers an agitation.

Hi Charlotte: It is difficult for Sonya since her brain surgery. She is sluggish both in form and speech.  Therapy is her main type of recuperation, and it is difficult at times.  But she is alive.  We continue to ask God for long life for her and that chemo and radiation will remove the tumor remaining. Thank you for asking about her and thank everyone who lifted her up to the Lord. Please continue to pray for her. God bless you Charlotte!   jerrilynn
Update 3/20/2003
Charlotte: Because of God, and all the prayers for Sonya, she was saved from a lethal dosage of morphine and other medications. My friend Sonya had brain surgery and was sent to hospice.  She wanted to go home, when she did, a doctor at hospice (not her family doctor), sent her home with medications and morphine and instructions for her family.  Sonya has been very weak and lethargic. The other day Sonya, her husband and two daughters were baptized.  The night before, her own doctor "just happened to come over" without being called.  At that very moment, Sonya's family was getting ready to give her morphine. It turned out that the hospice doctors had given instructions to over-medicate her and gave her a deadly dosage amount of morphine five vials of it, according to Sonya, with instructions to inject her with one vial every hour. The family doctor walked into the home at the time of the injection and was shocked at what was about to happen. He took away all the medications.  He said Sonya would have died within hours of that injection, because the amounts were lethal. Sonya is now up and walking about, and talking regular.  She was saved by God from being "murdered" that night due to malpractice.  Sonya said a lawsuit will be started soon. Thank you all for your earlier prayers.  Jerrilynn

My little granddaughter is back in the hospital again with breathing problems, her oxygen level dropped to low 80, they have her on oxygen, she said she was just like pop, she knows that I am sick a lot with COPD . The nurses put her doll pouch on oxygen to make her happy, she went into the hospital last Monday. Please place a prayer for her once again. God has always brought her through, I am sure He can this time. She will be three years old in January, it hurts to see a little two year old as sick as this baby is.
Love,  Gene Mcghee   

Heavenly Father I lift up Jeff to you in prayer. He lives in Seattle and his mother Kit is very concerned as she cannot locate him. She states that she is not physically capable of making the trip there, although if she had any idea where to find Jeff she would definitely try. He placed a call to her but it can't be checked because there were two calls that came in after he made the call, plus she had made calls also. She contacted the telephone company's business office yesterday and since the call was collect they will see if they can get the record which will have the pay phone number that he called from.  Praise God there is a lay minister in Seattle that will help in talking with Jeff, if he is found. The police in Seattle checked out the only telephone number that Kit had and sent a police car to the address. He was not there, they were told that he had not been there for two days and they had no idea where he may have gone. There was a shelter that he stayed at which was also checked out, they had not seen or heard from him for about two months. Without an address or general area to look the police said there was nothing they could do. They have Kit's contact information and a description of Jeff. Lord I ask that you wrap Jeff in your arms of love. I ask that you draw him close to you. I ask that you place a hedge of protection around him and keep him safe from harm. I ask that you press upon his heart to call his Mom and to seek help. I ask that you place Christians in his path to share the GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST with him. I ask that you open his eyes to see, his ears to hear and his heart to feel your wonderful love. I ask that you lead him to the minister in Seattle who is waiting to talk with him. I ask that you place the right words in his mouth to be of help to Jeff, to help him turn from his old ways and walk in the light of Christ. I ask that you place him on the path to righteousness. I ask that you give comfort to Kit during this difficult time in her life. I ask that you draw her close to you. I ask that you lead her son safely home with a testimony on his lips. I pray for salvation. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank you and God bless you for your kind prayer and sending out the request. Here is the latest. Praise God Praise God!  Jeff is okay.. okay in the fact that he did not hurt himself.  His girlfriend called the police and they took him to Providence Hospital in Seattle Wa.  I talked with him tonight and while  it was so wonderful to hear his voice.. my heart broke to hear the anger again.  I have his girlfriend's name and number now, so I have a contact person at least if needed in the future. They did find he has some heart problems and he will be followed up from what I understand for that at Pikes Street Clinic. I talked with the social worker and he said Jeff's doctor was pretty definite that he was being released tomorrow.  He can not go back to the place he was living, because  there was loud arguing over the week end. Jeff was the one  screaming cuss words and the neighbors called the police.  He was told from what I understand he could not go back for two months.  His employer is willing to let him have his job back on Friday. The problem is where he is going to stay, food etc. until he gets back on his feet.  Does anyone on the Internet know any church.. outreach programs, half way houses in Seattle that would be willing to help.  Bill and I like so many are living on social security, and I would be willing to give up the Internet service  so I could send him that much each month.. but that isn't going to pay for a room and food.  Surely there is a church in the Seattle area that would be willing to reach out and help my son.  He is so needy.. especially someone who will counsel and pray with him... help him with his anger, and  show him something besides what he feels is so called "Christian love."  Please don't misunderstand me.. a lot of this is Jeff's fault and he needs to see and own up to it. I am babbling.. it's just that I am so far away, and feel so helpless.  Please if anyone knows of a place he can stay.. please notify me.  I am to call the social worker back by 10:00 eastern time tomorrow. Please keep praying that God will send someone who can reach Jeff.  God bless Kit
Update 2/6/03
I ask your forgiveness for being so late in responding to your wonderful prayer and encouragement about my son Jeff.  Once again, you through God have helped me get through a very difficult time.  I am so blessed to know you took the time to show you care. That gift in itself is priceless  and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.   May God bless you 100 fold in return for your kindness. Jeff is doing much better though still in a rather unstable situation.  He has his job back and is staying at a center that is known for its wide range of programs to help those with physical or emotional problems. I pray he cooperates and accepts the help they can offer.  Praise God several have my contact information, and I have numbers also, so God has fixed it that I should never have to go through days of feeling so helpless because I don't know who to contact. Kit

I have had all the test and everything is back now. I have seen three doctors  and they all advise the same thing.  So I have another new experience in front of me now.  On Feb 25th, I am scheduled to have a total mastectomy. After that there will be chemo for some time but I don't know how much yet, we won't know until after the surgery. I won't start the chemo until three to four weeks after surgery. They want me to heal some before they start. Will keep you updated when I know more. Blessing

Charlotte, Thank you so much my friend for all the prayers and love I feel coming from you and all the many Brothers and Sister who have so much love and caring in all their emails to me. It seems every time I start to feel down or scared I have an email from you or one of them. I can't tell you how much you mean to me Charlotte we have traveled many roads together my friend and I love you. I am very sick now so the surgery has been postponed until March 4th. Charlotte this is the same day Ernie went home to our loving Father as I am sure you know, again my friend you was there for me throughout that very hard time in my life. Needless to say this will be an even more of a trying day. I just pray I am well by the 4th so I can get this over. I can't help the feeling something is growing like this in me. I pray and ask my loving Father to help me with this and also the feeling of the fear deep in my soul. Please pray this sickness I have now goes away so I can get this over with.  Linda.  Click here: The Lord's Prayer by Southbreeze  This site is beautiful

Just a quick note to let you know Linda's surgery went well and she is back in a room now. Surgery took about an hour. She didn't seem to be in to much discomfort and the doctor said she may come home tomorrow. Now we have to wait a few days and see what the lab test say so we know what the next steps are. Brian
Update 3/5/03
Just to let you all know Linda came home today
 and is resting comfortable.  Brian

Update 3/28/03
Thank you for all the prayers and love you send my way. Still not doing well with the wound. At least three to four weeks until we'll know if its healing, then chemo. Need lots of prayers to get through this time. Blessings, Linda
Update 3/31/02
Hello my Friend, its been a long time but I have been having a really hard time healing. The wound from surgery didn't heal at all. I now have a very big wound in my chest, they had to cut all the dead tissue out to get new tissue to grow. I have to have a nurse come two times a day to change the packing. It's just been very hard to take all in.
Please keep me on your prayer list for healing, so I can get on with my chemo and move on with this part of my life.
Your friend and Sister with our Lord, Linda
Update 5/16/2003
Charlotte, I'm so sorry I haven't written you in such a long time.  I have been so sick and weak from the wound not healing and now with chemo. The wound still isn't healed but we had to start the chemo because we were getting into the danger zone with the growth of the cancer.  I will do my best to keep you up on how everything is going.  Charlotte please pray I can get through this, I'm so weak and sick, I'm scared its to much with everything else going on with my health. Also please pray for my Mom who is also so very ill with her lupus.  She has been in and out of the hospital and the doctors won't let me up to see her with fear I could get something there. God Bless you my friend,
I love you Linda
Update 11/19/2003
Charlotte,  I'm sorry I've taken so long to email you. I am just now starting to get online, a little bit at a time. This cancer has taken a lot out of me. I still have to rest every after noon and have to go to bed early. The doctors say this will most likely go on for a year or more because of the lupus. Please continue in prayer for my recovery.  I thank everyone for their prayers during and after my surgery.
Your sister in God's name, Linda

Heavenly Father I lift up Rose to you in prayer. She had a tumor as big as 3/4 of the bladder.

Update 2/24/03
Again my heartfelt thanks to all who lifted my Aunt Rose up to the Lord in prayer. She was operated on Wednesday. They removed the bladder that they had removed a tumor from a month before that was cancer. They also gave her a hysterectomy in case there was any trace of cancer there. She doesn't know much yet on the testing of these, but she said she is in less pain then before. The morning of the operation she was so gray and had been turning that for some time but her color is back. She thanks you and so do, thank you so very much for all your prayers. God Bless and many thanks Barb
