Please pray more for my good friend Vickie. She's still in the hospital. They took about 16" of her colon and some lymph nodes. Now they're saying she has to have chemo. They also fed her a hamburger and she threw up cuz that was a mistake. Her husband was very upset. I don't get it, they also said it's stage 3 cancer.

My husband's mom had an MRI and we're hoping to learn something by Mon. She keeps seeing kids in her apt.playing with her silk flowers. Sometimes my brother-in-law is talking to her on the phone and she drops the phone to chase them down. After taking her home from the hospital she kept talking to me about this too. Pray for her and wisdom for us and the doctors to know what to do.

My mother in law, had servier animia, and because of the lack of blood volum, it did not get to the head aria enought, also she had COPD also a lack of oxigen all caused by the Non Hodgkins Limfoma, withch wasn't alowing her body to make blood, so she needed transfusions every month. and I drove her to cimo every week, 160 miles a day at least once a week some times 2 times, it was very heard on her. But the helusinations bothered her the most some of the times she realized it was a holusination, when the kids from the hill by her house would come in a play in her house. Once we were talking about how the Dr. told us it would happen because of the lack of oxigen to the brain it was quite comon, any way she got serious and wondered if my husband her son was OK because he saw them too. We liaguhed when she realised he was just wanting to help her feel normal, by going along with her vision. just like a child! It made driving her very difficult as she would see children outside the car and screem so I wouldn't hit them.
Good Luck and God bless and give the Dr. widsom, unfortuniatly if that is the problem it isn't reversable when you are short on oxigen the brain cells are the first to go. God bless you and your friends.

Thanks Cheri for your advice again. I shared it with my family tonight. We were with my mother-in-law. My husband and I took her back to her apt.She had graham crackers on the table all over, and thick milk and bananas in a dish. She said she put the food out and the people wouldn't eat. She couldn't get them to leave so she made beds on couches and chairs with blankets or towelf for them to stay. We went around each room and prayed. We prayed over her the mind of Christ. We believe God is her healer. Tomorrow my brother-in-law will question the DR. some more. He works at the nursing home so knows the nurses and staff. Some are caring and some could care in the least. He also thinks she'll fail fast if going in there. My husband and I prayed tonight that she wouldn't suffer or feel like she's going crazy. the Lord could heal her here or heal her by taking her home. She knows him and misses her husband too. Please pray for her and also Vickie still. She's still in the hospital. They won't send her home till she's able to keep food down,even toast. Because their daughter's wedding is June 23, they're now thinking of holding off chemo till after the wedding. Thanks for your prayers!

cfe, and barb,
its good to know that when times get bad and others need prayer. we know where to come too..i will be praying for the lady that you mentioned cheri..i hope that she will get better..you know sometime we think that when they go to sleep as i call it.for those that beleive in GOD .it makes it a little easier even when we are sad they are in a better place. she is in my prayers tonight.
barb,
sorry to hear about your mother. i know what nurshing homes are like. had family in there and have a cousin in there as well..we went there once and he had not had a bath and we told the nurse and she said that he did not want one.he said he did not say that. we got it straight.
and please pray for the ones that think that they can live a life that lev-chpt 18 v 22.also chpt 20 v13.and i did not read romans 1-27..to me that is a sin but others thin it is ok..its an abomonation an on judgement day tey will pay for it..if i get letters back because of what i say then so be it. they can say anything they want.but let a christian say something and they come out of the wood work....when you are a christian you go through hell..its not an easy road but with faith and prayer and people like we have in the prayer group. it will be a better place...
we wonder sometimes why GOD put us through anxiety and panic and depression. i now know why. so we could meet and be a help mate to others...my thoughts and prayers are with you all and may GOD BLESS...keep on looking up and walk with a smile. you are a child of GOD...

Thank you *D* for your well wishes, my mother in law died in 2004, she fell because of the animia, the blod did not get to her head that fast and she pased out. she broke a hip after two surgaries she died. There were problems at the hospital, and the nursing home, but'

Tonight I was listening to Lee Ezell's CD "Finding God when life is not fair" and she mentioned that there were complications with the hospital her husband died in, mistakes were made. She said she did not belive that made any diffrence God is in controle! who knows why things happen, but we do know God is in controle, and any thing else is satan's ploy to steel our joy. She said when we ask God why that is OK even Jesus asked "why has thouw forsaken me" but to blame Him for the rotten things in our lives, is wrong, and to seek the answers instead of seeking God is "barking up the wrong tree, you know the tree of knowledge is what started all the truble in the first place. Knoledge of God and His truth, is all we need to walk in, "My Grace is sufficient for thee" none of the Apposles had a good life what makes us thing we will. She pictured a line in heaven leading to a hall labled; ALL ? abswerd here, lotts of people standing in line with all their questions, and inside a panel of peple wating to answer them. Jobe, Naomi, Paul, etc, and John the Babtist with his head in his hands. and when she reached the podeum John asked "so what was you problem?" She realized we should not be seeking answers, we should be seeking God and walking in his ways. Bad things happen to good people they alwas have and they will untill we die, but God said He would go Through it with us, and we must believe that too please God it only takes faith.

Tonight I am going through some growing pains, I am sure today that I am insecure, probably have been all my life and have made a carier covering it up. even from myself. Tonight I just feel like crying, yet I know nothing will change but me, I must practice not letting my insecure self, attack my life anymore, I must stop allowing people to dump manuer on my life, Shake It OFF. I must be confident that God Loves me and is helping me through this, knowing God has an awsome plan for my life. find something else to think about. Like comeing on here and reading, coments, and shairing my understanding of life with those who need it, and want it. Things will be better in the morning, the Joy comes in the mornig. Good night

cheri,
GOD have a plan for our lives. he knew us before we were born. he has the master plan and knows what we will do in time of trouble. he will never leave us or forsake us...he is my rock and my strength. and i like what you said about joy coming in the morning. i know sometimes we need to cry and get it out of our system..some are ashamed to do that..but if it helps i do not mind.i hope that you have a good night.i know that it is cold there. in the 20s here..stay warm and stay safe and GOD BLESS..you are an inspiration to us all...hugss.

Cheri, As far as feeling insecure, I'm so up and down with that. Guess when we're feeling that way, we need to read every scripture possible on who we are in Christ. Like Joyce M. says we sometimes mix up our "who with our do". I think in a way the cold weather can even add to our insecurity or I'm not sure what. I hate the ups and downs. It's not so much insecurity for me as lack of motivation. Not even sure what my problem is but lets pray for each other.
Don, I don't know where the thread is you're talking about but it might just be another downer. Lately so many threads are bringing me down. I'm choosing carefully the ones I'll go on. When I see cfe and *D* I know those will be encouraging. There are a few others. I e-mailed a friend who's depressed to come on here. I e-mailed several others and they said they didn't have the time. Maybe I've spent so much time on here that it's making me depressed cuz of not getting other things done? :?

I can relate to that I am sitting here rolling a ball under my foot wondering if I should just go and get it lazered off. I figuered another month, I just got the foot soke detox, and that is helping I don't have to go to the chirpractor to get that now.

I am also cleaning the Tea pot. but that is about my capacity for now. I hope to make a bed and get the trash out of the house today, my meger goal. it is nice here today 40* I need to get out and get some sunshine, you know it dosn't count if you have glasses on. you need 15 minuites a day of sun shine with no glass between, acourding to Dr Bearfoot. He recomends a bekini too, I am about 40 pounds past that, but I will choose to be hopefull there, so far I have gained all the waite I lost last spring back, so I have that to do again, and more. I do streteches every day witch is helping me get my strength back, and I bounce on a big ball, that is supposed to get the toxins out of my limph glands. just like joging only not so hard on your joints, and Icemetretics are good when I remember to do them. All together I know I have to get rid of that witch is killing me first, and that is the mold from this house, discuraging, as time passes and one gadget after another fails to do it all. But I am excited to see what God will ring out of all of this. sofar my husband is growing up, and looking outsid himself, and that is all good!!!!
