For those of you who have not heard:

My Grandfather and My Mother both need some prayers and Pixie Dust.
My grandfather, 76 was in a near fatal car accident on Thursday August 7- It has been 1 week and he has not improved. His arm was shattered and now has a metal plate in it. His nose was broken and his face was split from forehead to the tip of his nose. He has now suffered a number of strokes while in hospital. He has lived a wonderfully full life and is such a kind gentle man. His memory is failing and he doesn't know who my mother is. He thinks that I am the daughter he lost about 8 years ago. I have never felt the need to request prayers from friends or strangers but everyone here on the Dis Boards is so kind and there can really never be enough prayer for those who need it.
My mother, who often lurks on these boards disguised as me, is struggling with my Grandfather's condition. She needs strength to get through this. He is really all of her family- we lost her stepmom of 50 years this past Easter. Her brother hasn't been able to make it to this side of the country.
Please, send prayers and pixie dust to these two wonderful people.
Thank you.

I'm not sure if anyone read this thread or included my Grandfather and my mother in their prayers but it really has been a miracle. The day after I posted this my grandfather seemed to completely turn around. My mother went to visit him and It was almost like nothing happened to him. He is responsive, he recognizes everyone, he can talk now... Thank you to anyone who kept them in your prayers.

I did KDAWNLILY

I will definitely pray for them................My grandfather was the most important man in my life and I miss him still even though he passed away 30 years ago.

God Bless you all.

Hello,
I would like to ask for some prayers. My wife, 2 sons (9 & 7), my 2 year old daughter, and myself were supposed to go to Disney back at the beginning of febuary. We didn't make it because my wife was diagnosed with a rare leukemia. Sue passed away at the beginning of july and I'm not doing very well. She was my whole world. I'm doing the best I can with the kids, I have family close and that helps. My work is sending me and the kids to Disney in november, but I can't look forward to it as the pain in my heart is too great.
I ask for any prayers to heal my broken heart, and help in raising my children alone.
Thanks

That is wonderful, KDawnLily. So good to see your grandpa has improved so much. Prayer is powerful.

Todd, I am so sorry to read of your wife's passing. You certainly have some times times ahead for sure, but with prayer and God's help, and your will and determination, you will succeed. Please do drop by the Community Board and let us know how you are doing. A big {hug} for you my friend.

And poohbear7, hoping your hubby is doing better since he went to the hospital. Any updates. My prayers are with him too.

Hoping everyone's prayers are answered, all in need remain in my prayers and good wishes daily.

Dan

Reading this forum brings tears to my eyes. It has taken me some time to be brave enough to come forward with my own request for prayers.

I am 45 years old with a wonderful husband and 9-year-old daughter. In April I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. The good news is I have a very strong will, determination and faith in God. So far, the combination seems to be working. I had extensive surgery in late May, recovered very quickly and convinced my Dr. to start chemo within 2 weeks of surgery. So far no ill effects from the chemo except for some thinning hair. I undergo 4 more weeks then will be tested to see if the chemo is working.

Most of the time I am extremely upbeat. I have not let the fact that I have cancer interfere with my extremely busy life. I had to cancel a trip to WDW in August because I expected to be very ill. That hasn't happened, so I have rescheduled for the week before Christmas.

I am SO better off than most in my position. I enjoy life, I seem to be doing just fine (except for the cancer). But late at night when I can't sleep, the tears come.

I don't think God is done with my work on earth yet, and I certainly don't want my DD to grow up without her Disney mom.

I would like to ask for your prayers...that the tests show some positive progress.

Thanks, and God Bless.

Sally

Mickeycrazy, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for your family.

 

[Mickeycrazy]

Hello all,
Thanks for the support and prayers. My boys have gotten me planning for our trip, and there excitment has begun to rub off. My life has changed dramatically, but I'm hanging on my kids and I know I will see Sue again.
Sally, please know I am praying for you. This probably goes without saying, but cling to your family and they will give you power.
Todd

 

[Sally Bradley]

Todd, my prayers go out to you as well.

My 9-year-old daughter has given me tremendous strength. She acts as my nurse and is my reason for living.

I have tried to teach her through all this: You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it.

If anything good is coming out of this, it's my ability to teach that lesson to her and others...be determined, be faithful, live life to the fullest, take control of all thats happening to you, and never give up.

God bless you,
Sally

 

[Mickeycrazy]

You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it.

Sally,
That's exactly how I get thru it all. I have found that if I focus on the things I have no control over, I get very despondent and depressed. I instead take full control over those things I can influence, and it gives me a sense of power over my circumstance.
The only other word of advice I can give you is take charge of your treatment. I have found that often doctors (thru no fault of there own), get so wrapped up in treating the disease, they forget about the patient at the heart of it. MAny times they nearly wore my wife out with tests, because packing them together was "convienent", we finally told them to spread them out to give her time to recover.
Todd

 

[Breezy_Carol]

Sally and Todd, my prayers are with both of you.

Sally, keep your good attitude. Think healthy.

Todd, you have had a serious loss. You will never get over losing your wife but each day WILL get a little easier. Embrace your son's enthusiasm for the trip. If necessary, join a bereavement group. Good luck to you. Be strong. Your kids need you.

I really hate to ask, but I no longer have a job.
I have a job interview tomorrow and I really need this job!

I would appreciate any prayers and PD.
Thank you everyone
