They had to rush my mom to the hospital today. They wondered if she was having a heart attack on top of it all!

There are more than one artery closing down in her body -- they are affecting everything!

Mom hasn't been this sick in 2 years.

Keep praying. Am trusting God to hear and answer. He's all that we have.

I see the site is messed up again. It's not posting things as it should.

Mom was rushed to the hospital today. They thought she was having a heart attack on top of it all.

Her stomach and digestive system have always been a problem but for a few months - it is worse than ever. She's sick and nauseous whether she eats or not. She is a very healthy eater too.

Keep praying, trusting and believing. God is all we've got to count on.

am so sorry... i just am losing it. i have never been so low. thank you for praying. i can't tell you the half of how bad everything has been.

i pray night and day and i just feel like god is not hearing or answering our fervent prayers for our dear godly, loving mother who has been such a wonderful servant of god since she was 13 years old.

my family has friends who are also in such poor health! several have cancer, one has parkinson's and is not doing well. one just had a tumor found on her thyroid.

i don't know what to say or do any more.

i want to go to be with the lord. i pray jesus comes back soon.

i have been in the dumps... the toilet of life. things keep getting worse and i don't know what i'm doing wrong. i seem to screw everything up somehow (it's how i have felt a long time).

my stress level is thru the roof and has been for over a year. i've reached out to people in my life that were supposed to be my 'good friends' and their lives are busy. they have nothing to do with me.

i've done everything in the book to get my health back on track and it hasn't really helped.

i've given up in many ways on trying to improve my health. i must confess.. in spite of all the pain and high blood pressure, chest pain and everything -- i've been so frustrated and miserable i've found myself picking up a couple of bad habits that i gave up long ago....

i have a cigarette and a beer. yeah, i know it's the not good for me... i was in the profession for too many years! (like doctors say -- do as i say, not as i do. right?)

i'm not looking for advice or to be 'fixed'. i just need to vent and as the bible says -- we need to confess our sins to others anyway.

yes, there were some things said and done to me here and it hurt very badly. i have forgiven the people in my heart as jesus has forgiven me. in the grand scheme -- it does not matter anyway. god sees and knows all . it saddens me that it has to happen on a prayer site. it hurt others and not just me.

i prefer not to discuss it any further. the offending parties act as if nothing was ever said or done. i guess they will have to deal with it and their consciences if they're not already too seared.

god bless you all. my heart grieves for the pain, sickness, death/dying and all the troubles that people are going thru here. the hurt i feel inside is so very deep.

i'm praying for you all night and day.

Praise the Lord God almighty -- he has heard our prayers!.....

Mom is having a better day, the pain is less and her spirits are better too.

We continue to thank the Lord, praising HIM for his healing hand and all that he is doing for our dear mother, father, brothers and even me.

God bless you all on this National Day of Prayer! May the Lord shine upone each of you and your families and loved ones.

Mom is still having some pain and other problems. Please continue to pray that the arterial blockages and thing affecting her kidneys and other organs would be healed in Jesus name. Her digestive system is very sensitive and causes problems daily and gives her a lot of pain as well.

I have been struggling with a lot of deep depression and anxiety too as I have mentioned before. Some days it's much worse. It makes it very difficult to come here and give the time, attention and prayers for others. I'm sorry.

Thanks again, and God bless. Your prayers, thoughtfulness and candles mean a lot to me.

So much for having the good day.... I thought things were better. Sadly they are WORSE!

Turns out she had one of the worst nights ever! Blood pressure thru the roof! Pain like she couldn't describe and intense!

She's up at the hospital now!

PLEASE PRAY!

They are not sure of what's going on! They are doing tests and she is talking with a surgeon!

Mom got NO sleep last night. Spent the night taking blood pressure pills and in some of the worst pain ever!

Lord God -- HELP HER! Help the doctors to know the cause and show them exactly what they should do.

She's allergic to so many things! What works for many -- she can't tolerate with the allergies/sensitivities.

they sent mom home from the hospital. (more politics since she doesn't have insurance, but rather medicare)...

the stuff they gave her for the scans messed up her digestion even further. still having pain and a number of problems.

mom will need to see a couple of different doctors in a few days.

thank you for praying for mom and dad, my brothers and me.

i have been feeling terrible. a lot of pain. blood pressure still up in spite of the medication and supplements that i know are supposed to work (they help a lot of people). i still have chest pain but can't afford to go back to the cardiologist. can't afford anything these days.

don't know why but the depression and anxiety persist. night and day. nothing has helped.

god bless and thank you for caring.

dear mother is STILL very sick from the 'junk' that they gave her to drink for the scans. she has serious problems with her entire digestive system... it starts in the stomach and the 'kinks' in her intestines and the abdominal adhesions from prior surgeries are bringing more problems.

i pray that she will get relief SOON and that the doctors would be very helpful and not brush her off because of lack of insurance. (they NEVER do much with folks here who only have medicare!) it stinks, it's wrong and also ILLEGAL.

Thanks for the fervent prayers. I'm praying for you all even if i haven't gotten as many responses posted for you all. i have just been so physically and mentally exhausted.

i don't sleep well. the medication doesn't help. it has caused me to gain weight which really stinks! it adds to the feelings of tiredness.

may the lord bless you.

i think i need to clear something up... the 'avatars' are just pictures of bikes i like. i don't own any of them. i can't sell something that i do not own. if i had things to sell, i would. i've already gone down that road long ago. the old piece of junk i own for transportation doesn't run well, is rusted out and flat tires. couldn't get anything out of it any way if i sold it. then i would have to walk miles to get anywhere.

hope this helps.

mom is MUCH sicker this evening. a lot of pain, blood pressure way high again and can't get comfortable.

this is wearing her out and she is so weak - especially the past month. it is always so severe with her. no answers.

pray that the dr. appointment with the surgeon will tell something. i pray it's not serious.

i hate seeing her suffer night and day. such a dear, gentle and loving soul.

i am a guy with a myriad of feelings. crying isn't like me, but sometimes i feel like i could -- but can't for whatever reason.

this has been a nightmare. i got the bad dreams and everything to go with it. it gets worse. i pray night and day.

thank you all for your prayers. couldn't make it without the prayers.

we just figured out that on top of everything already going on with mom's kidneys, renal artery shutting down, her thyroid and adrenal problems, digestive system disorder --- mom has a VIRUS now too!!!!!!

meeting with the surgeon today to see results of tests/scans.

also talking w/ other doctors re: renal artery/kidneys and if or when it will be stented!

Continue to pray. Many thanks and God bless.

the surgeon said that she has several things going on - that we already knew about.

he doesn't want to do anything until she has the renal artery re-stented. we are praying that she WONT have to go thru that again. So many complications involved with it for mom.

pray that she wouldn't have any more intense 'attacks' that make her so unbelievably sick.

pray that the primary care MD would order the MRA as we are wanting to see both kidneys!

pray that i will find a way to get some money. i am not able to pay for medication, rent, etc. this is getting so very difficult for all of us.

again, it is always... one thing after another so it seems.

thanks to everyone who has been praying. i know as the bible says - that fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much.

i haven't been feeling well at all for quite a while now. so many things. where do i start? still the headaches, continual pain throughout my back, abdomen, arms and legs....

chest pain that concerns me, along with the high blood pressure.

nights just have been hell on me. the depression is always much worse and the bad thoughts, ugly dreams become overwhelming.

i couldn't make it without the grace and mercy of god, and your prayers. i am so very weak mentally, physically... simply exhausted and don't want to go on like this.

mom is in EXTREME pain again all day today and going into this evening!

Lord, we have been crying out for your help and healing! She cannot stand this anymore. Ease her pain and bring healing. She can't serve you like she wants to with constant pain that inhibits the thinking and her concentration.

Here we go again... Another day where mom is in INTENSE pain. Nothing brings relief. Doctors have no answers. She has 3 or 4 things hitting her all at once. She's still to sick/weak to have the renal artery re-stenting.

She's been so sick, she just feels like crying. Her immune system is not good. She catches every virus that comes along. It all lingers longer than most.

Mom is so concerned with all that is going on. My family is worried. Nobody knows anything. No answers. We pray night and day. So many are praying.

We've never been so depressed as we are now! I can't explain it. I feel like I just can't go on anymore.

Thanks for praying. It means so much.

Mom is unbelievably weak. Her throat has been tightening up for the past 18 mos or more. It hurts her a lot and she loses her voice and cannot speak. Again, doctors have no clue.

Her body is wracked with pain - night and day. nothing seems to help her. it is very sad.

i got another letter from the attorney. Several different law suits against me since I can't pay the medical bills. They are still wanting to take what little i have left.

i am so sad and worn out. this is like a broken record going over and over.....

Thanks for your prayers. Still praying for healing, finances and a breakthrough for our mom and family.

mom is having another VERY BAD day. The pain is intense and non-stop. She is having chest pain - it goes down the arm and has me worried.

She is out of breath and her doctor never seems concerned. They have very little money and my dad is always hesitant to take her to the hospital because they never seem to do anything. When she had full insurance, they always ran a bunch of tests. Now with medicare, they blow her off and do next to nothing.

I am still in a lot of physical pain. Still worried and stressed with my mom and family's health and i can't seem to get any financial miracles coming in.

i don't know what to do any more. the stress is unbearable. i've tried selling the few things i have of any value -- sadly they're not worth much and nobody is buying.

I cry out to the lord god -- day and night. i pray for you all here. am so exhausted and can't post prayers for others as i would like to!

God bless you.

Mom says thank you so much for your prayers! It makes her happy when I tell her all the souls praying and believing for her healing and that of our family, and our finances.

The intense pain in my mothers stomach never seems to get much better. She is ALWAYS nauseous, digestive problems persist, no appetite, food doesn't taste good to her and she hasn't been sleeping well with the pain and persistent high blood pressure.

This has gone on for SO long. I am worn out. I must confess... I AM WORRIED! She takes everything she is supposed to. NO Junk food, no meat, eats very little and always SICK.

One more thing.. my little dog Brandy -- is constantly having allergies to something. She bites and licks all the time. I have her on special food. It doesn't seem to help. Her body is RAW from scratching, and her ears keep getting infected. She scratches till she bleeds.

What next???

I just got bad news -- it could be at least 2 years before I can have my disability hearing before a judge. the system is backed up.

please pray that i can sell the few things that i have. my rent is due, utilities are past due and so is phone/internet.

i may not be around here if they disconnect me. i pray that the lord is blessing you all. thanks for praying.

continue to pray that money will come in some how, some way. i am trying to sell off a few little things, but getting no buyers.

i am VERY close to getting utilities, phone and internet shut off. i still have rent to pay (i am behind on it) and have insurance on my piece of junk car that is due. it's not much, but i still cant pay it.

thanks for praying fervently! god bless you all.
