Ritzy I will keep then in my prays I have a cyst on one of my kidneys and have had it a long time. I have had no trouble with it my kidney stones had nothing to do with it hope she can rest the lord will do his work love ya

Ritzy, I have known at least 2 unborn babies with kidney cysts and both are now healthy, happy, adolescents. I think the incidence of disappearing with age after birth is quite high! Still, prayers for them all!

And Frances, how is your mother? Doing well I hope! Send my love!

Oh, Ritzy, Beccah will be in my prayers.

Please pray for Rachel. She is the daughter of a friend of mine. She's in her mid 20s and had her appendix removed a couple of weeks ago. They found cancerous cells in the appendix. They went back in last week and removed part of her colon. That checked out clear but they found cells in her lymph nodes.

Beccah went to the Dr. today. They did an ultrasound on the baby and said that they saw a cyst. We don't know all that this means but I guess the worse case would be if it effects the kidneys there is nothing the Dr. can do. Please pray that this is nothing to be concerned about and that this baby will be born healthy. Thank you.

Got a new e-mail from my sister. Mom came through fine, except that the spinal/epidural didn't work so they had to use general anesthesia, which made her sick. On the positive side, she's not in any pain. I'll update everyone tomorrow.

Good to hear, Frances.

Wonderful--thanks for letting us know.

Thanks for posting the update Frances. I was thinking of her.

I wanted to let you all know that my mom is out of surgery and doing well. By now, she should be almost out of recovery and my dad will be able to get in and see her. I'll keep everyone updated.

Our niece Jennifer is doing wonderfully. (We believe all of your prayers helped as well as all of the prayers of our family and her friends). She has been moved to a regular hospital room - much earlier than anyone expected - so just a little over two weeks from when she was close to death, she is in a regular room and getting therapies, with all of the tubes etc. removed. The prognosis now is that she may go home in a week or so. So please keep on praying but also give some prayers of thankfulness because we know this has truly been a miracle. There are many steps ahead but the road looks a whole lot brighter today.

Thanks to all of you. Hugs and love, Ann

Ritzy, I'm praying that Beccah will make the right decision for herself and the baby. My DDIL had to give herself shots in the stomach twice a day throughout her last 2 pregnancies. It was tough, but now she has 3 wonderful children. Time goes by quickly!

Thanks Julie--I'm praying.

Not sure where to post this,but recently there was a question about an old singer sewing machine and Margo suggested asking pknord as she has quite a number of them.I wondered about her as she was a regular on the forum and I hadn't heard seen her picture in a long time.Also one of her quilts was chosen for "quilt of the day" on 7/22.So I emailed her to see how she was and received this reply:

Hi, Julie,

For the last year and a half, I've had my mother living with us, as her
dementia gets worse, and her COPD and heart are also not working very
well. She's going to be 90 next month. I've not done anything quilty
in quite a while, but will get back in the game one of these days. I do
miss the board. Please tell the others I think of them often.

So,I'm passing on Pat's message.I'm sure she'd be more than happy to hear from any of you.

Ritzy. Praying for Beccah. hope she finds peace in what she is doing.
