Prayer request for Lora

[lcarle]

A dear friend of mine was airlifted to Seattle last Sunday after suffering a small brain anerism (sp?). They said it was good news that she came in talking and through Wednesday it was looking promising - no surgury, improvement, etc. Well, she took a turn for the worse. She is have more horrible headaches - more bleeding, was moved to a dark room and can have no light or visitors. For the past year she has been holding her family together. Her husband has had depression for many years and it was being controled by medicine. Last summer, it was not going as well for him. Her son has been struggling with anxiety and on medication. His started struggling as well last summer. Then her daughter was diagnoised with depression a couple months ago. I know she has been very stressed for too long and like I said holding that family together. Now she needs help herself. Please pray that she will recover and keep her spirits up during this ordeal!!! Also pray for her family. I know we can still lose her and I just think I will lose it myself if we do!!! She was one of the friends that helped my husband and my birds through my 2 months of hospitalization and then months of illness. I take kids to Washington, DC and/or NYC/Boston each June. She took my place last year when I was too ill. So again please pray for this amazing lady!!! Oh, she also teaches 3rd grade. Her students could also use a prayer. Thanks.

Thanks Chrissy!!

A horrible thought just went through my mind as I was eating. Here I am distraught about my friend and it felt good to ask for prayers. But now I feel bad that I have maybe said too much about her family problems. I could have just said she was holding her family together. So please forgive me for airing too much (forgive me Lora!!!). (I know why I don't write too much, I am aways too worried about putting my foot in my mouth!!!)

Again thanks though for keeping her in your prayers. I just cannot lose her!!!!! Her family cannot lose her!!!!!!!!!!!

Your heart was in the right place and my view point is secrets kept about such things don't always allow the light in to heal and cleanse. None of us is perfect either but we all try. Hugs and love and healing prayers.As I Walk with Beauty As I walk, as I walk The universe is walking with me In beauty it walks before me In beauty it walks behind me In beauty it walks below me In beauty it walks above me Beauty is on every side As I walk, I walk with Beauty.

Many prayers for your friend,her family,her 3rd grade class and for you. You are a good friend to her as she is to you. I know in my heart that she understands what and why you wrote what you did. There is a reason for everything even if we don't know it. You both sound like very loving and giving people. You pulled through bad time and so will she. People that do so much for others will be here a long time because God likes the Help!

Thanks for everyone's prayers. Update: They did a spinal drain to drain the blood from the brain for a couple days. Must have worked because she was moved out of the ICU. She sounded good yesterday and I am looking forward to talking with her today. They did officially say it was a brain bleed and not an anerism (SP?). Most people do not survive the the anerisms. Lora and the staff were worried about a stroke at one point. Of course Lora is going crazy in the hospital and wants to go home. She has also been told to take the rest of the school year off. Of course she doesn't feel she can - too much she needs to do. Luckily she saw me do it last year from March - June and I am a type A person. So I told her if I can let go, she can as well. Both our districts get out June 20th, so we still have some weeks to go. They will need to do some more testing before they can let her go home. She is nervous that she could have problems at home after being let go. So again I emphasised taking it easy the rest of the school year.

The kids seem to be doing okay. I have been going over or calling to check up on them. The daughter came back home this weekend and dad has come home twice to check up on them. I envited them to join me for dinner on Tuesday.

Thanks again for your prayers.
