Update on Sara. They sent her home today. Jimmy said she was resting and not really feeling much better, but I think she will feel better in her own bed and being allowed to smoke
I have been so overwhelmed I haven't had a chance to text I will try tomorrow.
For those of you who know Brayden I saw him at his Christening today and it is incredible to see how big he is getting and he looks great! The tube is working now and he is growing and what a happy baby! So that is a praise report! Makes me tear up just thinking about what he has gone through and what God has done!
Prayers for each need posted and prayers for those needs that are not!

Good morning everyone! 'Happy' Memorial Day, if that makes sense, but hope you enjoy your day off. Briefly texted with Sara last night. She is feeling somewhat better. Fever seems to be gone now, but still has a bad headache and stiff neck. I told her it will take some time to get over such a serious illness. She said she doesnt feel like eating or smoking (yeah!) because nothing tastes. I think, as always, that she will recover faster at home where she can be more comfy.
Praying for everyone today. Michele, hon, take care and dont push yourself so hard. I know how it is when you are always trying to be all things to everyone. Take some time your YOU!
Linda, hope you are feeling better. Monique, if you are stalking us, let us know how your are doing. I dont think we have heard back from you since your suicide attempt! We care about each and every need that is posted here.
Blessings to all today! Thanking God today for all who have given their lives or body injuries for our freedom in this country. God Bless them and their families today.

Good morning dear friends.....Please forgive me for not keeping up with this thread and all the prayer needs. I am so sorry to hear that Sara has once again been so desperately ill and of course am praying for her health.
Linda, I am so sorry that you must endure what you are going through. May you be enfolded in the loving arms of God to protect you from fear and pain.
Michele what a wonderful praise for sweet baby Brayden!
Praying for all of you today and always even if I don't get to post often to keep up with specific needs.
May you all have a peaceful Memorial Day. Remember those who have given all in service to America. Caterina, the photos you sent me of all the Memorial Cemetaries for those who fought and died in WWII in Europe were impressive reminders of the many many lives lost. For those who did not see the moving tributes on the PBS Memorial Day program last night, try to find a re-broadcast of it. It also will bring tears to your eyes.

I am glad you talked to your dad Linda. I think sometimes when things are out in the open, and you have a good support system, they do not seem so dark anymore in your mind. Talk to your nurses about your fears too, they can be very compassionate during those times especially if they know what is driving your fear!
Of course keeping you lifted up, as well as all of the other needs posted.
Hope everyone has a blessed day!
Linda praying for you and your family. Praying for Sara & Jimmy and everyone on the thread. I got this today and really like it so will post:
The Greatest Man in History
Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!
Hotwheels- I agree with Ellen. I am so proud of you that you spoke with your father. I would speak to the nurses about your anxiety and fear. Often, the can help you deal with the issues. I am praying for you!
I am praying for all the families that need them.

Hi Everyone! HAPPY BELATED MEMORIAL DAY!!!!! Just wanted to stop in and let everyone know that I am still kicking. Recovery is very slow going but I am getting a little stronger everyday. Jimmys mom and his 2 girls will be arriving tomorrow. His mom will be going back home Saturday or Sunday and the girls will be visiting with us for 2 weeks.
Jimmy is very excited because this will be his first long visit with them since all this court stuff started 2 years ago. Now that it is all settled, he now is able to enforce his visitation rights, so we are really looking forward to spending time with them. I just hope I can keep up. I still havent gotten back up to parr with my energy and strength. That last bout a week ago took ALOT out of me and was very unexpected so we will just have to see how things go. I plan to not over do myself under any circumstances because it is sooooo not worth it in the long run.
Anywho, I hope all is going well for everyone and I will try to check in when I can. At this stage I am still in bed quite a bit as my meds make me very sleepy usually.
Hugs,
Sara

wow Sara- I am so very excited to see that you are well enough to talk to us. Please take care of yourself. Thanks God that Jimmy can see his girls. Let him take them places and do stuff around the house as much as possible. Enough of my humble unsolicited advice. Still praying...

Happy Saturday everyone! I am regrouping after my trips to Chicago. I was so tired Thursday night after finishing up around 8p that I just ordered up room service and kicked back with a good book! People think I am nuts while in Chicago, but I truely enjoyed a quiet evening in the hotel alone. Room looked out over Lake Michigan and I was able to leave the drapes open and enjoy the sunset from the 35th floor. Awesome!!
Sara, stay down and relax. Do a couple of campfire cookouts in the back yard there and they will have a ball! Then you can go in if you get tired. They just love visiting you and dont require a lot of running. I believe they are just so happy and relaxed with you guys that they enjoy the simple things, as they are so over indulged with electronics and activity at their other home. You will all have fun. Board games and long talks go along way in the memories department.
Linda, did you have your tests? How did it go? I hope the results are good for your evaluation. Let us know how you are doing.

Sorry that I have been so remiss again this week, it seems I have little time to myself these days, so many things to do. Thank you all for your prayers for Ed, finally he is feeling more like he should and not bothered so much by the itching. The rash is almost gone but the itching remains must not as bad. He is still on Gabapentin for the nerve issues due to the Shingles, he knows when he has missed one because he feels like he is being stung by bees.....but all in all he's making progress.
Sara, I am so glad to hear you are doing somewhat better. Don't overdo trying to entertain the girls and Jim's mom, they will be happy just to spend time with you both.
Linda, praying for your health issues, keep plugging along, you will make it!
Everyone you are ALL in my thoughts and prayers as we are all sisters.
We are having a lovely day here in Maryland, hoping that the ground dries up a little after the storms we have had. "This is the day that the Lord has made, I shall rejoice and be glad in it". May God bless and keep all of you.
Hugs!

HI Caterina, hope all is well with you. Barb, so glad your hubby is on the mend. Shingles are such a nasty thing to recover from. I know you must be exhausted trying to cope with everything. Maybe you will be able to take a day for yourself soon.
Linda, did you have your tests? How did it go? I hope the results are good for your evaluation. Let us know how you are doing.[/quote

ellen- glad that you are home safe and sound from Chicago. Do you go there often? One of my brothers lives in a northern suburb. He keeps asking me to come and visit.
Hi caterina- hope that you are doing well. You work so hard on the Cole's kids project.
Barb- Shingles are so difficult both physically and emotionally. My sister said that the sensation of being stung lasted for months. She told me it drove her crazy. I am happy to hear that things are getting better.
I am praying for everyone's needs. It is so comforting to know that I have people thinking about my family.

Just happy to see you when you can come and visit!
I am thinking of each of you and hope everyone has a good evening and a great morning tomorrow.
Ellen, hope you are getting through your hectic week OK! It has been crazy at work but tomorrow night going to see Eric Clapton in concert so looking forward to that.
I am getting three grants for the ministry out the door tonight so I feel a well deserved break coming on! I'm so glad to have some time to play and create again. I have a stack more grants to do but had to stay in touch with those that help me stay focused.
Please lift up the ministry in prayer for resources, funding and incomes for those of us working this ministry now for two years without pay!
Lift us up for more housing for women coming out of prison that have no place to go.
Thanks!
I think of you all often and lift you each to His loving care.
Good evening dear friends, have been feeling a bit unwell but still busy as ever with Cole which helps keep my thoughts going in the right direction. Please pray for a sweet boy name Tommy who is in very bad shape at Johns Hopkins Hospital right now. The family is not sure he will make it through the week. Am hoping Reynold and I will be able to get to JHH to see him and his family.
Leslie- I will keep your ministry in my prayers. Your work is very important.
Caterina- I will add Tommy and his family to my ever growing list. I have just asked God to hold him and all the kids struggling.
Thank you Joan. I have just addressed and labeled the three grants going out this week. I will keep working hard in hopes that the explosive blessings Joel Osteen often preaches about are just on our horizon!
Caterina, I will lift up these children to our Lord, we know He has a special heart for his littlest children!
