Oh My, what a lot of hurting people out there. I have started a prayer list and keep adding to it every day. My husband is some better, he thinks he cracked a rib in addition to his compression fracture. I can't imagine how he could have done it.

Anyway, I have a prayer to add. My granddaughter, Briana, is on a month long trip to southeast Asia with a group of friends prior to their beginning graduate school at Stanford. They have had a great time, but now with the trouble in Thailand we are really worried. She is to fly out of Bangkok on Tuesday to return home. Please keep her in your prayers for safe return to New York. And for all her friends as well. It's so scary.

I'm thinking of you everyone and you are all in my prayers here at home, All of my TQS friends and family,friends. I will need to add my sweet little Grandaughter Cecille 5 to our prayer list here she had surgery today,she had to have her apendix removed,she will be pretty sore the next few days. I believe her and little Morgan would make nice little buds right about this time,They sure have gone through alot being so young.
Thank you, Hugzzz Grandmaw Kathy

Rachel,

Yes I do know that about Darvocet. That's why I don't drive when I take it. My daughter knows that she is driving tomorrow. In fact, all my kids watch out for me and drive me if I can't drive myself.

Frances

Oh my I can't believe you all going through so much. One of the best things about this thread is that it makes you realize you are not alone. I do hope that Jordan is improving. Frances take some time to heal. Remember Darvocet is a narcotic.
Rachel

Please keep me in your prayers. I've had a sore spot on my side since Sunday. It started like a bug bite. My doctor on Wednesday said that it was an infection and put me on antibiotics. He wanted to see me again today to see how it looked. It was still really bad, worse than it was on Wednesday. So he gave me a bunch of liodcaine and lanced it. I've been taking the Darvocet all day and it still really hurts. And I had committed to usher tonight also. Unfortunately it's at one of the theaters that on Greg and I work at or I would send one of my kids. At least it's a small theater with no stairs so I should be ok. Tomorrow is Gone With the Wind where a collector brings a bunch of costumes and props that Brandi and I missed last year. I really want to go tomorrow.
Frances

Wow Rachel, your brother is really going through it. That must be so difficult for him and your family. Will be praying as you requested. Ritzy, still holding up Jordan in prayer. We just have to keep on persevering in our prayers for these guys.

Jordan had a rough night; they had taken out two chest tubes and they will have to put them back plus add one; they found an air pocket on his lungs(whatever that means); they have given him at least two units of blood but can't do testing to find where he is bleeding; they are to do an EEG today; they think he may be having seizures.

I will continue to pray for all your needs.

By the way Please remember to pray for my back and my brother's head. He is having another brain procedure this coming tuesday. This is like 35 or something. I don't remember I quit counting at 25. He has a very large atriel venous malformation (AVM) That broke off into 2 separate large AVMs. He has been having these surguries now for over 3 years. It keeps growing and they have done the Gamma Knife twice. That slowed it but did not kill it. So please keep Steve in your thoughts tuesday.
Rachel

Wanda don't you just love water therapy. It was the only time I didn't hurt after pt and it felt so good to be in the water and able to move.
Ritzy I feel so for your daughters brother Have they done any kind of meassures to take the pressure off his brain like a shunt? I will continue to pray for him and your daughters.
Nancy, I figured that there was a speech therapist at work in your dear hubby's life by the way. I just want to be sure that there was and that you knew there were people out there who could help you. I didn't realize that your hubby was in assisted living though. I am happy to hear that you are getting help from several people. caregivers can get burned out so quickly. I was so worried before when I was reading your post.
Judy and Lynn I feel for your situations and your daughters. It really irritates me to no end how some of these parents are. They do not discipline or punish their child at any age then they complain and wonder why they have no control over thier child and why they are a juvinile delinquint. High on drugs, running around having sex with whoever, when ever, drinking and driving, and getting poor grades. Then they have the nerve to say it is the schools fault! I pray for every teacher but I will keep you daughters in mind especially.
Rachel

Wanda, I hope you continue to improve. My DH is some better today but his pool therapy was cancelled because the therapist is home sick. Maybe it's just as well. He can stay home and rest.

Talked with granddaughter teacher today. She said the kids were some better...the first day was terrible. She had some of these kids in summer school so she knows them.

Patti, sure hope your back is okay. Nancy, I hope your husband improves. Ritzy, how is Jordan doing? I am so happy that Morgan is doing well. Am praying for all situations going on here.

I have an update on my back. I decided not to wait a month to see how things would go and called the doctor and asked for a physical therapy order. I started pt last Tuesday and am having pt 3 times a week. I have been doing the pt exercises on my own on the days that I don't have pt. Kevin, my pt, also gave me exercises to do in the pool on my own. I am doing this everyday after work. All these exercises are keeping me very busy, but I can't get on the treadmill so the pool is a good workout. The good news is that I have had very little pain the last 2 days!!! Praise God!!!

Thanks for all your prayers.
WandaM

Nancy sorry to hear about your husband. My back did a little snap yesterday that scared me silly but fine today. I will be praying for your 2 concerns.

so glad to see some Praise The Lords on this forum. Also I keep praying for the ones we haven't heard from, and for the ones that are still in trouble.

My DH was so much better yesterday, and for some unknown reason he is in bad pain today, like a month ago. What could have happened??? So keep praying, please.

Judy, I just heard that my granddaughter's 4th grade class this year is a "dilly" to put it mildly. These kids have evidently been bad news ever since first grade and now it's her turn. She is so discouraged...many kids undisciplined, quite a few with 1-on-1 helpers which just clutters up the room. Please pray that she will somehow be able to turn these kids around.

Nancy in NC

Thank you all for asking about my daughter. Lynn, her problem was with a parent, much like the situation your daughter went through. She's doing fine. Thank you all for your prayers. I'm still praying for you all, too. Judy in Torrance
