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!

Prayers for a Soldier...
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...

Pirate, my medical mystery
*sigh* Late Saturday night Pirate has a series of seizures. Aunt Callie picked him up and took him to the e-vet, and the rest of Saturday night/Sunday I monitored him and watched for seizures. He did OK - a little seizury on Sunday but no full-blown events. Monday my vet had me leave Pirate at...

Please, good thoughts for Willow
Hi everyone. Please send Willow some high platelet vibes tonight. She had a blood test today to see if she is still in remission. She appears to be doing very, very well. But, it never hurts to pray and be positive, right?? Thanks!! Lori

Question for Christian members - about pets & religion
For those who believe in the Bible and believe in the rapture /the second coming of Christ... when the rapture happens, what will happen to everyone's pets who depend on us for care? Do you think God anticipates this and will provide? I don't know what made me start pondering this, so I'm...

Prayers for Gracie the Ancient RR and Her Owners
My beloved Gracie is we think around 17 -- well past the life expectancy of a Rhodesian Ridgeback. We have had her 15 years, She has arthritis and some major problems controlling her hind end. And she doesn't like being around our noisy toddlers. So far, she seemed to still have a decent quality...

More prayers for my mother?
We found out today its a large brain tumor. I just am numb with shock... I don't know what to say other than pray for us, please?

I need some prayers or hugs or whatever you can give.
It's a long story, but my mother is not doing very well right now. I'm very worried, as is my family. Any prayers you can spare, any vibes, whatever would be so appreciated right now. It's a really hard time.

Here I am asking for prayers again--for Willow
I feel like I shouldn't bother you all but for Willow I will. We were not able to lower her Prednisone two weeks ago as we would have liked because her platelets dropped significantly since the last test. She's going for another test tomorrow and we are hoping that this drop was just a normal...

Good thoughts for my daughter
My 35 year old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was 8 months pregnant at the time of diagnosis. She also has a two year old son. Her doctor felt that she should have the baby induced so that she would recuperate as soon as possible for a mastectomy, chemo and, possibly radiation. I guess...

Requesting Prayers For My Son (Another Update)
We got a phone call from my oldest yesterday and only got to speak with him about 3 minutes. He fractured his tibia on a 6 mile ruck march (he is in the Army in Infantry training) and he finished the march, went out for a PT run the next morning and the bone snapped. He told us that it looks like...
