Prayers for my friend please
I posted several months ago about a good friend of mine (Patti) who'd been diagnosed with lung cancer. She had surgery, radiation and chemo therapy and just finished that all a couple months ago. She took a 10 day trip to Nova Scotia and had just returned for her 1st post-treatment PET Scan. I just...

for my "Granny"
As you are offering up your prayers and well-wishes today, please spare a thought for my Granny. She is 96 yrs old and her 99 yr old husband (Granpa) was just recently moved into a nursing home so they don't live together anymore, after 70 years of marriage. She has been suffering from Osteoperosis...

Tulio our cat is sick, he has spent last night at the vets and also will be there tonight, we are not sure what the problem is, he is only two years old, is eating and drinking, no temperature, no signs of trauma, no ticks and yet he is extremely dizzy. He just started swaying and finding it hard to...

Need some vibes for Campbell - Bugsy's buddy - Updated again - worse
Oh dear Campbell's owner just called and told me that he has to stay at the vet and get an EKG because they detected an irregular heartbeat. Although he is only 6 months old they fear it is cardiomyopathy. They lost their first boxer (he is their third) to cardiomyopathy so poor Carol is in a panic...

Good vibes for Oreo please! - Updated: she's gone.... :(
Oreo is my parents' almost 14 yo Lab/Cattle Dog. She was technically my first dog, but she was really more of a family pet when I was still at home. Oreo has epilepsy but it is well-controlled, but she's dealing with a NASTY lung infection right now and my dad is having trouble getting meds,...

Prayers & good thots for Pa, please? (Callie)
I updated my own 'geriatric' thread -- my Dad is in the hospital. It's likely his heart and they're initially calling it congestive heart failure. He's had a by-pass, etc. and was pretty well fibbing to me (in spades) because I think HE was scared and didn't want to entertain...

good thoughts needed, please (janobonano)
So most of you know I lost my job due to budget cuts a couple of weeks ago. Now DH might be losing his job as well. The company just released 4th quarter sales, and they're down like 60%. The stock is at like $10/share. A year or so ago it was at $60. They're having a meeting first thing when...

Willow's not feeling too good
She's been great and she was fine all day. Then about a half hour ago she started vomiting and she's not feeling well. Please pray this is just something she ate off the ground and nothing more serious. I'm a wreck considering her history. Thanks everyone. Lori

Can I offer a prayer of thanks rather than request one? (tacran)
I was requesting the prayers silently today, but it all worked out with a very happy ending, so I thought I'd share the story. Today I was on my way to work and saw two dogs trotting down the sidewalk heading to a busy, major road. I stopped and rolled down my window and called "Hi puppies...

Good thoughts and prayers needed (JackieG)
I found out today that a good friend had a growth removed from her bladder on Tuesday. She will get the results today. She is freaking out and so are all the people who love her, me included. Her husband died of bone cancer five years ago and she remarried about a year ago. She is the most full of life...

Update: Good thoughts for Jeremy, please
Jeremy had a physical last week. Well, they found a few moles that looked "odd" so he's having them removed today and tested. One is huge and odd shaped and colored and it bumps up off the skin. If you can spare some good thoughts for him that'd be much appreciated!

My step brother could really use prayers guys. He is a Special Forces officer and is headed back over to Afganistan, which is unfortunately becoming more and more dangorous. He has already been injured once, but wants to return. Please, he needs all the prayers he can get..... Thank you.

Mike's Welcoming Committee
As many of you know, my BF has been suffering from liver disease, and in need of a transplant to survive. Unfortunately, he has been losing ground, and is unlikely to recover sufficiently to sustain a surgery, so he has decided to enter hospice. The doctors are thinking that he has weeks, or less, to...
