Prayer requests

[aroyer]

it is nice to tell stories isn't it and it is healing.
Mom and I made heritage albums for the nine cousins, including myself. We had everyone open them last at xmas and my older brother brought a tape recorder to record my grandmother tell stories about the pages. We started the book with her and my grandfather as children.
My grandfather and uncle had passed away by then. And my cousin had gotten married after my Uncle(her father) passed and it was a great way to introduce her DH to his FIL through pictures. Her mom had also gotten remarried in that time and her new DH loved the books too.
I plan to journal the stories and add them to the books soon.

Wow, that is beautiful! Gave me goose bumps! We really want to get DS to see Granny's DH- he is only 2 but they have the sweetest bond. Their birthdays are April 17 and 18th, and they enjoy each other so much. Of course tonight I realized I have no pictures of DS with his great grandfather. But I would love to scrap their relationship.

You have to do that soon!! Like tomorrow, soon.

I was pregnant with DS6 when we lost my grandfather and pregnant with DS5 when we lost my Uncle. I wish we had more pics. I'm the only one of the 9 with kids, so I take tons of pics now. My dad is the only Grandpa left, but the kids have 2 Grandmas and 2 Great Grandmas so I snap away. In fact we have a big family party next weekend and plan to bring both cameras.

aroyer,

I'm so sorry... brings tears to my eyes... been in your and DH's shoes before..
Get those pictures ASAP or you'll be upset that you didn't do it... I know I have very few of my kids with their great-grandparents and it breaks my heart... I have very few of me w/ my dad.. or my kids w/ my dad..as he hates to take pictures...but July 4th... I'll get all the pictures I want and he will be happy about it..... I don't ask him for much since I got married so he should cooperate...
Hugs to you, your DH, and all the family....

aroyer, so sorry to hear about granny. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time.

Thanks again for the thoughts, hugs and prayers! I took DS to see Granny's DH, Papa, tonight. I am so glad I did. Of course, I completely forgot my camera, but fortunately my MIL had hers (she's a scrapper too). And of course, since DS is 2, his favorite word today was, yes, you guessed it, NO!! We kept trying to get him to stand by, sit with, sit by Papa, but all we got was a NO. We even got a NO when we offered him a cookie, which was QUICKLY followed by a very enthusiastic YES! We did get some really sweet pictures of them interacting. My MIL said that DS was the highlight of everyones day. So thank you for the encouragement to go visit him!

I bet the photos will be great!!!

Can I get a prayer request for Lisa, her mom, and her step dad please? Lisa's step dad is going in for major surgery tomorrow at 10 and could use a whole lot of pixie dust and prayers.
Lisa will contact me after the surgery so I will keep you updated.

Thanks!

I'm sending P and PT to Lisa.

I need to ask for some to come my families way. DSis was put on bed rest and in the hospital because of her blood pressure. She is due in 4 weeks with another little girl. My mom is very worried about Jordyn (the baby).
I'll keep you posted.

Prayers and PixieDust MT!
I love the name Jordyn for a girl.. That is my DD's name..and they told me it was odd at the time 13 yo ago...

 

[Lisa]

Thanks all, I really appreciate it. I never knew this prayer request was here until B&MB told me about it.

Believe it or not, it is 6:37 EST and we are still waiting for him to come out of surgery. He has Medullary Thyroid Cancer and is having half or all parts of the thyroid removed. We had to be at the hospital at 8:00 am, he went in at 11:30 am due to a emergency surgery. My Mom is wiped out from the waiting even though we walked around the city for a bit to get out of the hospital. I finally took her back to the hotel where she is napping until we hear (thank goodness for cell phones) he is in the recovery room, then we will go back.

PD for little princess Jordyn, her Mommy, and the rest of the family. Waiting for the grand appearance seems like forever.

Lisa, I hope you hear that he is in recovery soon... If you don't hear anything before 8:30pm.. call them and check in... I know you know how to handle things...but sometimes they don't remember to make the calls they are suppose to especially if they are close to shift change.. to your mom.. Poor thing has to be worn out.

My prayers are with you and your family.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Prayers to baby Jordyn and DSis.

Continued prayers to you Lisa. I'm here when you need me!

 

[Mickeyteacher]

Dsis seems to be better today. They released her from the hospital this afternoon and she is on bed rest at home. Her blood pressure has gone down, but is still on the high side. Baby Jordyn looks good, she was reactive on the ultrasound and is moving around. DSis is going back to the doctor on Monday. They will decide then, when to induce.
Thanks for the prayers.

[Lisa]

Good to hear Dsis is home, hopefully her bp will stay down until Jordyn makes her appearance.

We went back to the hospital around 7 pm. He came out of the recovery room around 8;30 pm. the surgery took seven hours, but all went well. The surgeon was very please on the outcome. DSF was very alert and talking very well. So no damage to the vocal cords as was a concern. We got to stay for a bit until the nurse sent us out. Talk of discharge as soon as Sunday!

Never underestimate the power of pixie dust!
