Thanks all...
I really appreciate the prayers!

It seems like when it rains, it pours.  Last year ,around the same time, both of them were each in the hospital(s) again...but for less serious, just double pneumonia and DKA. 

I'm just standing in faith that all will work out all around.

God bless...

Hi again!

I haven't been on in so long...it's been crazy/busy here and then in the end of September, my husband had an emergency quad bypass.  He had what is known as "the widow maker".  I thank God I got him in on time!   They told me it was days, not weeks, b/f I would have found him dead(he is 40).  He also has COPD and was just dx'd w/ T2 diabetes. 
He was in the hospital for 10 days and then had to go back a week later to get 2.5 litres of blood drained from a lung.  As he was in ICU that time, our 14 yo daughter, who is a T1 diabetic, ened up waking up the one morning(after excellent bgl's all weekend) vomitting.  My dad rushed her into the hospital and she was put into ICU...pancreatitis...and on a morphine drip. 
It's been nonstop.
Obviously, my dh can't work, I had to take off b/c of him and my daughter, so we are a no income family, but that's ok b/c I at least have both of them alive.

Please pray that they both get better(and my other two kids stay healthy) and that our house sells quick and our move back to FL is smooth(we plan on leaving next month). 

My husband is going through terrible depression, which they said is to be expected after what he has gone through, but it is so hard to see him like this.
I keep telling him to keep the faith, and he does at times, other times he's just so deep in a slump.

OK, I've rambled enough.
God bless...and thank you...

I'm praying for you...

My daughter(12 yrs old) has been a T1 diabetic since she was 6...

God bless...

Praying for you and your son Seeking!!!

My uncle is raising his two boys now alone, my aunt passed last year...it's a hard, but VERY rewarding job...

God bless and keep you...

I'm praying Valie....

Where I work, there are more atheists and agnostics, but there are customers that come in that are Christians and we praise God together...which is always a relief to me.
I do not have a church family right now, so I love having fellow Christians come in and fellowship w/ me in one way or another,...and hopefully, the other workers will listen to us and change their ways.

Hi everyone...

I know, I haven't been on again in a while...my bad...things are just so busy, but I do think of you all and pray...it's what, in fact, led me back to the board tonight.
Also, I have a prayer request....I feel selfish, as it is for me...
I've been dealing w/ a lot of stupid worry...I have some tests that I have to go through(routine female tests)...and the CA125(cancer screening)...my aunt passed on Sept. 11 last year from what started as breast cancer.  Anyway, I have been praying that all turns out well, I am a blood bought child of the Son of God and I plead the Blood of Jesus over me...and then, there is satan in the back of my head telling me to worry, causing me grief...and I get so upset w/ myself because it causes worry...almost fear, and I know that is wrong because I have our Lord Jesus and I KNOW I am well, in Jesus' Name!!!
Also, for a few other things going on in my life right now, and my families.  When it rains, it pours...and I am so tired of feeling this way.

I've also been battling bulimia...I've been winning, Praise God, for the past 6 months.  Believe me, it's been hard...I hear that voice in the back of my head saying...you know you feel sick, just shove that finger down your throat and get better(although that makes it worse), and I became very sickly looking last year...up until this past March when I broke my foot and was on my rear for about 6 weeks.  I fight this stupid "nausea" so much, and I KNOW I don't have to...it's like the enemy just keeps on trying and I keep on rebuking him.
I believe part of it may be depression, which is stupid, because I do have our Lord and Saviour.
My son is in FL w/ my mom and stepdad going to a military school down there(he's 14)...he has wanted this school since 6th grade(he's now in 9th), my daughter(T1diabetic) is going through a lot, and my youngest daughter is as well.  My son not being here has put such a strain on the girls, myself and my husband.
The year anniversary of my aunts passing is days away, shared w /the tragedy of 9/11/01...and now w/ all this going on w/ what Katrina did...I just feel so upset.  I'm not worried...I pray to the Lord for forgiveness and to be worthy of Him for eternity, along w/ all my loved ones, friends and others...I just don't know what to do aside from prayer and asking for it...to beat this dang devil...I do demand him to leave in Jesus' Name....

Please, pray for excellent health results, depression to go away and to totally win out over this bulimia...
I'm sorry for being such a pain...

May God bless and guide and keep you all...
God bless...

Amen to all...
I have been praying and will continue to pray for all those affected by Katrina...

God bless...

Thank you so much blackeyedpeas...
Prayer works wonders, and I've been going through some big things right now, but I know our Lord is there for me helping me...
I'll try and post about it at some point...
Thank you again for the prayers!!!

God bless...

I'm glad you've found laughter and feel better Rachel...
This is my first time back on the boards in a while...

Praying for you and God bless

I know I haven't been on in a while again...I believe I posted sometime in May after my daughter became severely ill.
Since then, things have been VERY hectic...
I have found my way back...things are going on right now that would be extremely hard w/o the Lord, I just praise God that I have HIM in my life...
God bless all...

Keeping you and your requests in prayer, JudgeNot...

God bless...

Thank you so much!!!  God bless:)

Hi everyone

I know I haven't been on in a while...not that I haven't wanted to be, but b/c there has been some health issues w/ my 11yo daughter(I also have a 14yo son and a 7 yo daughter)...anyway, my 11yo is a T1 diabetic.  She's been sick on and off, like every other week, since we moved up here to good ol' WNY.  Last week Monday was the worst(it actually started on mother's day though)...she and her sister ate strawberries, and at the same time, they both became very ill.  Well, my 11yo stopped and slept, got up in the middle of the night, drank gatorade, slept until 7:30am, normal reading(116mg/dL) and no ketones....but then she could not stop getting sick...she ended up at the ped's and then being brought by ambulance to the hospital.  She was in severe DKA and she almost died(praise God she is with us).  Now, she was there for a few days(we found out our insurance had lapsed b/c we have moved 5 times since we got here, b/c the house we bought had problems, etc)...anyway, she was dx'd w/ PAD and gastritis (PAD in FL and gastritis a couple months ago)...well, they did an echocardiogram on her heart, and they found something.(she has a murmur, which is very normal)...anyway, yesterday, a week after being home, the endo's office calls and says that they don't like her echo reading and want a follow up w/ the cardiologist.  Now, we had taken her to the ped's on Monday b/c she could not stop getting sick(endo's want her stomach problems addressed by the peds), and the PAD is being taken care of by a psychiatrist, sooo...the ped sent us for an immediate u/s on Monday...negative for gallstones and all that wonderful stuff, thank God again!!!...but now they need her to see a GI doc as well as the cardiologist.
She has not been in school in about 2 weeks now, and the school is going to start sending a private tutor here to help her w/ the end of the year things(she goes to middle school next year).
Please pray she has no problems, they just dissapate(we can all only pray and believe, right?)...
And also, for my other kids, as all three of them are having a pretty hard time w/ all of this...especially the move.  There are some other issues going on, but I will spare you all from that incessant babbling, since I've already babbled enough as it is.

Thank you all so much and God bless...
Sorry if this seems to be going in circles...I've barely slept for the past week or so...
Again, God bless

Amen to that!!!

Wow...I totally agree...things like that should definitly be on the nightly news, let the world see things like that, it would really open a lot of people's eyes
